This Act may be cited as the ``Sedona-Red Rock National Scenic Area

SEC. 2. SEDONA-RED ROCK NATIONAL SCENIC AREA, COCONINO NATIONAL FOREST,

(a) Establishment.--There is established in the Coconino National
Forest, Arizona, the Sedona-Red Rock National Scenic Area (in this
section referred to as the ``Scenic Area'') for the purposes of--

System land included in the Scenic Area; and
(2) managing the National Forest System land included in
the Scenic Area as provided in the land and resource management
plan for the Coconino National Forest.
(b) Boundaries.--The Scenic Area shall consist of approximately
160,000 acres of National Forest System land in the Coconino National
Forest, as generally depicted on the map entitled ``Sedona-Red Rocks
National Scenic Area'' and dated June 7, 2010. The Scenic Area shall
not include any land located outside the boundaries of the Coconino
National Forest.
(c) Map and Boundary Description.--As soon as practicable after the
date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture shall
file a map and boundary description of the Scenic Area with the
Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives and the
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate. The map and
boundary description shall have the same force and effect as if
included in this Act, except that the Secretary may correct clerical
and typographical errors in the map and description. The map and
boundary description shall be on file and available for public
inspection in the Office of the Chief of the Forest Service.
(d) Administration.--The Secretary of Agriculture shall administer
the Scenic Area in accordance with this Act, the land and resource
management plan for the Coconino National Forest (including any
subsequent amendment or revision of the plan), and the laws and
regulations generally applicable to the National Forest System. In the

this Act shall take precedence.
(e) Restriction on Scenic Area Land Exchanges.--With regard to
acquisitions of land for public purposes, land exchanges that dispose
of National Forest System land included in the Scenic Area may occur
only if--
(1) the exchange results in the acquisition of land within
the boundaries of the Scenic Area from a willing seller for
inclusion in the Scenic Area;
(2) there is no net loss of National Forest System land
within the boundaries of the Scenic Area; and
(3) an environmental analysis in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.) and consistent with the applicable forest plan amendment
is completed before any land exchange within the boundaries of
the Scenic Area.
(f) Deposit of Consideration From Certain Land Sales; Use.--
(1) Deposit of proceeds.--Moneys received by the Secretary
of Agriculture from the sale or exchange of land located in the
Coconino National Forest shall be deposited in the fund
established by Public Law 90-171 (commonly known as the Sisk
Act; 16 U.S.C. 484a).
(2) Use of funds.--Notwithstanding the limitations on the
use of moneys deposited in the fund established by Public Law
90-171, moneys deposited under paragraph (1) shall be available
for use by the Secretary of Agriculture, without further
appropriation and until expended, for the acquisition of land
or interests in land within the National Forest System in
Arizona.
(g) No Effect on Surrounding Land, Roads, or Easements.--The
establishment of the Scenic Area does not affect--
(1) the maintenance or use of public, private, or Forest
Service roads within the Scenic Area;

and utility easements within the Scenic Area;
(3) the management of State, municipal, or private land
located in the vicinity of or within the boundaries of the
Scenic Area;

not included in the Scenic Area; or
(5) the construction or siting of transportation projects
or water projects (and associated facilities) within the Scenic
Area or in areas outside the Scenic Area.
