section may be cited as the ``Petroglyph National Monument Boundary
Adjustment Act''.
(b) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) the purposes for which Petroglyph National Monument
(referred to in this section as ``the monument'') was established
continue to be valid;
(2) it is of mutual benefit to the trustee institutions of the
New Mexico State Trust lands and the National Park Service for land
exchange negotiations to be completed with all due diligence,
resulting in the transfer of all State Trust lands within the
boundaries of the monument to the United States in accordance with
State and Federal law;
(3) because the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico, has acquired
substantial acreage within the monument boundaries, purchased with
State and municipal funds, the consolidation of land ownership and
jurisdiction under the National Park Service will require the
consent of the city of Albuquerque, and options for National Park
Service acquisition that are not currently available;
(4) corridors for the development of Paseo del Norte and Unser
Boulevard are depicted on the map referred to in section 102(a) of
the Petroglyph National Monument Establishment Act of 1990 (Public
Law 101-313; 16 U.S.C. 431 note), and the alignment of the roadways
was anticipated by Congress before the date of enactment of the
Act;
(5) it was the expectation of the principal proponents of the
monument, including the cities of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, New
Mexico, and the National Park Service, that passage of the
Petroglyph National Monument Establishment Act of 1990 (Public Law
101-313; 16 U.S.C. 431 note) would allow the city of Albuquerque--
(A) to utilize the Paseo del Norte and Unser Boulevard
corridors through the monument; and
(B) to design and construct infrastructure within the
corridors with the cultural and natural resources of the
monument in mind;
(6) the city of Albuquerque has not provided for the
establishment of rights-of-way for the Paseo del Norte and Unser
Boulevard corridors under the Joint Powers Agreement (JPANO 78-
521.81-277A), which expanded the boundary of the monument to
include the Piedras Marcadas and Boca Negra units, pursuant to
section 104 of the Petroglyph National Monument Establishment Act
of 1990 (Public Law 101-313; 16 U.S.C. 431 note);
(7) the National Park Service has identified the realignment of
Unser Boulevard, depicted on the map referred to in section 102(a)
of the Petroglyph National Monument Establishment Act of 1990
(Public Law 101-313; 16 U.S.C. 431 note), as serving a park purpose
in the General Management Plan/Development Concept Plan for
Petroglyph National Monument;
(8) the establishment of a citizens' advisory committee prior
to construction of the Unser Boulevard South project, which runs
along the eastern boundary of the Atrisco Unit of the monument,
allowed the citizens of Albuquerque and the National Park Service
to provide significant and meaningful input into the parkway design
of the road, and that similar proceedings should occur prior to
construction within the Paseo del Norte corridor;
(9) parkway standards approved by the city of Albuquerque for
the construction of Unser Boulevard South along the eastern
boundary of the Atrisco Unit of the monument would be appropriate
for a road passing through the Paseo del Norte corridor;
(10) adequate planning and cooperation between the city of
Albuquerque and the National Park Service is essential to avoid
resource degradation within the monument resulting from storm water
runoff, and drainage conveyances through the monument should be
designed and located to provide sufficient capacity for effective
runoff management; and
(11) the monument will best be managed for the benefit and
enjoyment of present and future generations with cooperation
between the city of Albuquerque, the State of New Mexico, and the
National Park Service.
(c) Planning Authority.--
(1) Storm water drainage.--Not later than 180 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior,
acting through the Director of the National Park Service (referred
to in this section as the ``Secretary''), and the city of
Albuquerque, New Mexico, shall enter into negotiations to provide
for the management of storm water runoff and drainage within the
monument, including the design and construction of any storm water
corridors, conveyances, and easements within the monument
boundaries.
(2) Road design.--
(A) If the city of Albuquerque decides to proceed with the
construction of a roadway within the area excluded from the
monument by the amendment made by subsection (d), the design
criteria shall be similar to those provided for the Unser
Boulevard South project along the eastern boundary of the
Atrisco Unit, taking into account topographic differences and
the lane, speed and noise requirements of the heavier traffic
load that is anticipated for Paseo del Norte, as referenced in
section A-2 of the Unser Middle Transportation Corridor Record
of Decision prepared by the city of Albuquerque dated December
1993.
(B) At least 180 days before the initiation of any road
construction within the area excluded from the monument by the
amendment made by subsection (d), the city of Albuquerque shall
notify the Director of the National Park Service (hereinafter
``the Director''), who may submit suggested modifications to
the design specifications of the road construction project
within the area excluded from the monument by the amendment
made by subsection (d).
(C) If after 180 days, an agreement on the design
specifications is not reached by the city of Albuquerque and
the Director, the city may contract with the head of the
Department of Civil Engineering at the University of New
Mexico, to design a road to meet the design criteria referred
to in subparagraph (A). The design specifications developed by
the Department of Civil Engineering shall be deemed to have met
the requirements of this paragraph, and the city may proceed
with the construction project, in accordance with those design
specifications.
(d) Acquisition Authority; Boundary Adjustment; Administration and
Management of the Monument.--
(1) Acquisition authority.--Section 103(a) of the Petroglyph
National Monument Establishment Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-313; 16

land for disposal; and
``(B)(i) all private land within the monument boundary for
which there is a willing seller is acquired; or
``(ii) 2 years have elapsed after the date on which the
Secretary has made a final offer (for which funds are
available) to acquire all remaining private land at fair

(2) Boundary adjustment.--Section 104(a) of the Petroglyph
National Monument Establishment Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-313; 16
U.S.C. 431 note) is amended--
(A) by redesignating paragraphs (1) and (2) as

Exhibit B of the document described in subparagraph (B); and
``(ii) the inclusion of the Paseo Del Norte corridor within the

``(B) The document described in this subparagraph is the document
entitled `Petroglyph National Monument Roadway/Utility Corridors',
dated October 30, 1997, on file with the Secretary of the Interior and
the mayor of the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico.''.
(e) Administration and management of the monument.--Section 105 of
the Petroglyph National Monument Establishment Act of 1990 (Public Law
101-313; 16 U.S.C. 431 note) is amended by adding at the end the
following:
``(f) Boca Negra and Piedras Marcadas Units.--If the binding
agreement providing for the expansion of the monument pursuant to
section 104 is amended, in accordance with the terms of the agreement,
to transfer to the National Park Service responsibility for operation,
maintenance, and repair of any or all property within the Boca Negra or
Piedras Marcadas Unit of the monument, the Secretary may employ, at a
comparable grade and salary within the National Park Service, any
willing employees of the city assigned to the Unit.''.
(f) Double Eagle II Airport Access Road.--The Administrator of the
