Summary

Designates specified lands in the Los Padres National Forest, California, as the Sespe, Matilija, and San Rafael Wilderness Areas, which shall be components of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to take necessary actions for fire prevention and watershed protection in such areas and for the management of the Sespe Condor Sanctuary. Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to issue oil and gas leases for the Sespe Wilderness which prohibit surface occupancy and allow only directional drilling from outside the Wilderness. Releases the Sespe-Frazier and Matilija Wilderness Areas from further statewide roadless area review and evaluation for purposes of determining their suitability for inclusion in the System. Directs the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a study of the Johnston Ridge Trail located on the Ojai Ranger District, Los Padres National Forest, for purposes of ascertaining the appropriate management of the trail in relation to other portions of the District. Specifies that such study shall consider the environmental impacts of mechanized vehicles and shall require preparation of an environmental assessment. Requires the study to be completed within two years after enactment of this Act and submitted to specified congressional committees. Declares that, pending completion of such study and a final management determination, it is the intent of the Congress that the trail shall remain open to off-highway vehicle use. Amends the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to designate segments of the Sespe Creek and Sisquoc River, California, as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
