 process conducted under this section, and all pub- 

 lic lands, regardless of classification, are subject to 

 inclusion in any land use plan developed pursuant 

 to this section. The Secretary may modify or termi- 

 nate any such classification consistent with such 

 land use plans.

 cisions to implement land use plans developed or

 to exclusions (that is, total elimination) of one 

 or more of the principal or ma1or uses made by 

 a management decision shall remain subject to 

 reconsideration, modification, and termination 

 through revision by the Secretary or his dele- 

 gate, under the provisions of this section, of the 

 land use olan involved.

 suant to a management decision that excludes 

 (that is, totallv eliminates) one or more of the 

 principal or major uses for two or more years 

 with respect to a tract of land of one hundred 

 thousand acres or more shall be reported by the 

 Secretary to the House of Representatives and 

 the Senate. If within ninetv davs from the giv- 

 ing of such notice (exclusive of days on which 

 either House has adjourned for more than three 

 consecutive days) , the Congress adopts a con- 

 current resolution of nonapproval of the man- 

 agement decision or action, then the manage- 

 ment decision or action shall be promptly termi- 

 nated by the Secretary. If the committee to 

 which a resolution has been referred during the 

 said ninetv day period, has not reported It at the 

 end of thirty calendar days after its referral, it 

 shall be in order to either discharge the commit- 

 tee from further consideration of such resolu- 

 tion or to discharge the committee from consid- 

 eration of any other resolution with respect to

 mittee has reported such a resolution) , and de- 

 bate thereon shall be limited to not more than 

 one hour, to be divided equally between those 

 favoring and those opposing the resolution. An 

 amendment to the motion shall not be in order, 

 and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider 

 the vote by which the motion was agreed to or 

 disagreed to. If the motion to discharge is agreed 

 to or disagreed to, the motion may not be made 

 with respect to any other resolution with respect 

 to the same management decision or action. 

 When the committee has reprinted, or has been 

 discharged from further consideration of a res- 

 olution, it shall at any time thereafter be in 

 order (even though a previous motion to the 

 same effect has been disagreed to) to move to 

 proceed to the consideration of the resolution. 



The motion shall be highly privileged and shall 

 not be debatable. An amendment to the motion 

 shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order 

 to move to reconsider the vote by which the mo- 

 tion was aereed to or disagreed to.

 of this Act may be used in carrving out man- 

 agement decisions, but public lands shall be re- 

 moved from or restored to the operation of the 

 Mining Law of 1872, as amended (R.S. 2318- 

 2352; 30 U.S.C. 21 et seq.) or transferred to an- 

 other department, bureau, or agency only by

 public involvement and bv regulation shall estab- 

 lish procedures, including public hearings where

 management of the public lands.
