To designate certain Federal lands in the Talladega National Forest in 
        the State of Alabama as the Dugger Mountain Wilderness.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Dugger Mountain Wilderness Act of 
1999''.

SEC. 2. DESIGNATION OF DUGGER MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS, ALABAMA.

    (a) Designation.--In furtherance of the purposes of the Wilderness 
Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), certain Federal lands in the Talladega 
National Forest in the State of Alabama, which comprise approximately 
9,200 acres, as generally depicted on a map entitled ``Proposed Dugger 
Mountain Wilderness'' and dated July 2, 1999, are hereby designated as 
wilderness and, therefore, as a component of the National Wilderness 
Preservation System, and shall be known as the Dugger Mountain 
Wilderness.
    (b) Map and Description.--As soon as practicable after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture shall submit to 
Congress a map and a boundary description of the area designated as 
wilderness by this section. The map and 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. A copy of the map and description shall be on file and 
available for public inspection in the Office of the Chief of the 
Forest Service and in the office of the Supervisor of National Forest 
System lands in Alabama.
    (c) Management.--Subject to valid existing rights, lands designated 
as wilderness by this section shall be managed by the Secretary of 
Agriculture in accordance with the provisions of the Wilderness Act 
governing areas designated by that Act as wilderness, except that, with 
respect to the wilderness area designated by this section, any 
reference in the Wilderness Act to the effective date of the Wilderness 
Act shall be deemed to be a reference to the date of the enactment of 
this Act.
    (d) Treatment of Dugger Mountain Fire Tower.--The Forest Service 
shall have two years, beginning on the date of the enactment of this 
Act, in which to use ground-based mechanical and motorized equipment to 
disassemble and remove from the wilderness area designated by this 
section the Dugger Mountain fire tower, which has been scheduled for 
removal by the Forest Service, and any supporting structures. The road 
to the fire tower shall be open to motorized vehicles during this 
period only for the purpose of removing the tower and supporting 
structures, after which time the road shall be permanently closed to 
motorized use. The Forest Service shall follow the provisions of the 
National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.) in the 
determination and execution of the removal of the tower and supporting 
structures.
