Nothing in this subtitle or an amendment made by this subtitle establishes a protective perimeter or buffer zone around— a covered area; a wilderness area or potential wilderness area designated by section 713; the Recreation Management Area; a Wildlife Conservation Area; or the Historic Landscape. The fact that a nonwilderness activity or use on land outside of an area described in paragraph

(1)shall not preclude the activity or use outside the boundary of the applicable area described in paragraph (1). Nothing in this subtitle affects the treaty rights of an Indian Tribe. Subject to any terms and conditions that the Secretary determines to be necessary and in accordance with applicable law, the Secretary shall allow for the continued use of the areas described in subsection (b)(1) by members of Indian Tribes— for traditional ceremonies; and as a source of traditional plants and other materials. As soon as practicable after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall file maps and legal descriptions of each area described in subsection (b)(1) with— the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives; and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate. Each map and legal description filed under paragraph

The Secretary may acquire any land or interest in land within the boundaries of an area described in subsection (b)(1) only through exchange, donation, or purchase from a willing seller. Any land or interest in land acquired under paragraph

Subject to valid rights in existence on the date of enactment of this Act, the areas described in subsection (b)(1) are withdrawn from— entry, appropriation, and disposal under the public land laws; location, entry, and patent under mining laws; and operation of the mineral leasing, mineral materials, and geothermal leasing laws. Nothing in this subtitle or an amendment made by this subtitle restricts or precludes— any low-level overflight of military aircraft over any area subject to this subtitle or an amendment made by this subtitle, including military overflights that can be seen, heard, or detected within such an area; flight testing or evaluation over an area described in paragraph (1); or the use or establishment of— any new unit of special use airspace over an area described in paragraph (1); or any military flight training or transportation over such an area.
