Preservation Act''.

SEC. 502. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Paleontological resources are nonrenewable. Such 
        resources on Federal lands are an accessible and irreplaceable 
        part of the heritage of the United States and offer significant 
        educational opportunities to all citizens.
            (2) Existing Federal laws, statutes, and other provisions 
        that manage paleontological resources are not articulated in a 
        unified national policy for Federal land management agencies 
        and the public. Such a policy is needed to improve scientific 
        understanding, to promote responsible stewardship, and to 
        facilitate the enhancement of responsible paleontological 
        collecting activities on Federal lands.
            (3) Consistent with the statutory provisions applicable to 
        each Federal land management system, reasonable access to 
        paleontological resources on Federal lands should be provided 
        for scientific, educational, and recreational purposes.

SEC. 503. PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this title is to establish a comprehensive national 
policy for preserving and managing paleontological resources on Federal 
lands.

        negligible disturbance to the Earth's surface and other 
        resources.
            (2) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary 
        of the Interior with respect to lands administered by the 
        Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary of Agriculture with 
        respect to National Forest System Lands administered by the 
        Secretary of Agriculture.
            (3) Federal lands.--The term ``Federal lands'' means lands

        lands, or National Forest System Lands administered by the 
        Secretary of Agriculture.
            (4) Indian lands.--The term ``Indian Lands'' means lands of 
        Indian tribes, or Indian individuals, which are either held in 
        trust by the United States or subject to a restriction against 
        alienation imposed by the United States.
            (5) State.--The term ``State'' means the 50 States, the

        resource'' means any fossilized remains, traces, or imprints of 
        organisms, preserved in or on the earth's crust, that are of 
        paleontological interest and that provide information about the 
        history of life on earth, except that the term does not 
        include--
                    (A) any materials associated with an archaeological 
                resource (as defined in section 3(1) of the 
                Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 (16 
                U.S.C. 470bb(1)); or

        permittee or repository without the written permission of the 
        Secretary.
    (d) Modification, Suspension, and Revocation of Permits.--

                Secretary assessing the penalty.
            (3) Multiple offenses.--In the case of a second or 
        subsequent violation by the same person, the amount of a 
        penalty assessed under paragraph (2) may be doubled.
            (4) Limitation.--The amount of any penalty assessed under 
        this subsection for any one violation shall not exceed an 
        amount equal to double the cost of response, restoration, and

penalty under subsection (a) may file a petition for judicial review of 
the order with an appropriate Federal district court within the 30-day 
period beginning on the date the order making the assessment was 
issued. The court shall hear the action on the record made before the 
Secretary and shall sustain his action if it is supported by 
substantial evidence on the record considered as a whole.

subsection (a) shall be conducted in accordance with section 554 of 
title 5, United States Code.

appropriation may be used only as follows:
            (1) To protect, restore, or repair the paleontological 
        resources and sites which were the subject of the action, or to 
        acquire sites with equivalent resources, and to protect,
