The section specifies that livestock graz- ing will be permitted and managed in the areas to the same extent and in the same manner as of the date of the bill's enactment. The section specifies that except as provided elsewhere in the bill (Le., in section 8) mechanized or motorized travel generally will not be permitted in the areas.
