    Sec. 3005. Petroglyph National Monument. (a) Short Title.--This 
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 
2000
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

        ``(2) Land owned by the state or a political subdivision.--No

        the land or interest in land identifies the land or interest in 
        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

        ``(ii) the inclusion of the Paseo Del Norte corridor within the

entitled `Petroglyph National Monument Roadway/Utility Corridors',
