A bill to declare that certain lands be held in trust for the Quinault Indian Nation, and for other purposes.

Summary

Expands the Quinault Indian Reservation to include specified lands within the Olympic National Forest. Directs the United States to hold those lands in trust for the Quinault Nation. Provides that the Forest timber receipts of adjacent counties shall not be affected. Prohibits the Secretary of the Interior from approving the sale for export of unprocessed timber from such lands, unless he determines that such timber is surplus to domestic needs. Requires such lands to be administered in the same manner as lands subject to restrictions of the Grays Harbor sustained yield unit administered by the Forest Service. Continues to recognize any valid right-of-way, lease, permit, or other right or interest which may exist in the lands. Directs the Secretary of the Interior to grant right-of-way through the lands to assure access to National Forest land. Directs the Secretary to establish a separate account for timber receipts from the lands. Provides that these funds can be used by the Quinault Nation only for paying costs incurred in preparing and administering timber sales, mitigating adverse environmental impacts from timber harvest activities, reforesting timber lands, and purchasing land that is within reservation boundaries.
