National Wilderness Preservation System Database: Key Attributes and Trends, 1964 Through 1999 Peter Landres Shannon Meyer

Introduction The Wilderness Act of 1964 established a National

Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS) "to secure for the American people of present and future genera- tions the benefits of an enduring resource of wilder- ness." The 1964 Act established 9.1 million acres of Forest Service land in 54 wildernesses. Now, after 104 pieces of legislation (see Appendix A), the NWPS is composed of over 104 million acres in 628 wilder- nesses, across 44 States, and administered by four Federal agencies: the USDA Forest Service (FS), and the USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and the National Park Service (NPS).

There are three primary reasons why an NWPS Database is needed. First, previous published compi- lations ofNWPS information (Reed 1987,1988; Brown- ing and others 1988; Rosenberg 1994) are out of date. Second, with four independent agencies and nearly constant legislative and administrative changes to the wilderness system, there is a lack of consistency and accuracy in reporting and maintaining information about the NWPS. And third, with expanding socio- economic pressures to develop currently undeveloped Federal lands, there is increasing interest and need from both public and private sectors for a single source of reliable information on the key attributes of wilder- nesses nationwide.

The purpose of this NWPS Database is to provide a single source for consistent, accurate, and current as well as historical information about the wildernesses in the NWPS in an accessible and easy-to-use format, Every effort has been made to make this NWPS Database as accurate as possible, relying on verifiable information sources that have been validated and cross-checked. The purpose of this publication is to describe the construction of this Database, to provide this information in printed form, and to summarize general trends in the administration and distribution of wilderness over the 35 year history of the NWPS.

This publication is also available a t the World Wide Web site http:llwww.wilderness.net/nwps. All NWPS data a t this internet site are in a relational database that allows querying, sorting, and generating reports that can be downloaded into the user's computer system. On-line instructions guide users through this relational database.

Our intent is that this Database be useful for those in need of accurate wilderness information. Such in- formation can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, managers, researchers, or advocates can develop an in-depth understanding about the NWPS or about a specific wilderness or group ofwildernesses. We illustrate some of these uses below in an analysis of historical trends in wilderness designation, as well as analyses of current patterns in geographic and agency representation, size-class distribution, and State distribution. When combined with information that is not part of this Database, such as data on recreation use, demographic and socio-economic data, or ecological information, relationships between wil- derness and these other attributes may be analyzed. In addition, this NWPS Database provides a sound baseline to which information about changes to exist- ing wildernesses or the designation of new wilder- nesses may be added, and from which trends and patterns can be analyzed in the future.

This summary is organized by first describing the content and structure of the nine component spread- sheets. The sources used in compiling this informa- tion are then described. We show where inconsisten- cies exist between legislative and agency sources, and in these situations we explain our choices of which data were used, as well as exceptions to these choices and special cases. We next describe the number of wildernesses that are within the NWPS, and discuss differences between this information and other wil- derness compilations. Finally, we demonstrate how these data can be used by analyzing some major trends in wilderness designation and distribution across the NWPS.

Content and Organization of the Database

This NWPS Database includes the following infor- mation for every wilderness:

Legally correct name cited in the enabling public law Public law that established the wilderness Date the enabling law was signed by the President Acreage designated in the enabling public law Modifying public law or laws that affect the name, boundary, or administration Current total acreage reported by the administer- ing agency Agency or agencies with administrative authority Administering units within each agency State or States in which the wilderness is located

Different users have different needs for how this information is organized, and we present this informa- tion in a variety of different formats to facilitate access to the desired data. Each bulleted entry below identi- fies a distinct spreadsheet, showing the name of the spreadsheet, its contents, and how the spreadsheet was sorted.

Wilderness Name - composed of wilderness name, agency, State,

year designated and current total acreage - sorted alphabetically by wilderness name Current BLM Acreages - composed of wilderness name, State, adminis-

trative unit within the BLM, and current acreage within each administrative unit

- sorted alphabetically by State and then alpha- betically by wilderness name

Current FS Acreages - composed ofwilderness name, State, adminis-

trative unit within the FS, and current acre- age within each administrative unit

- sorted by State, then alphabetically by wilder- ness name, and by administrative unit

Current FWS Acreages - composed of wilderness name, State, adminis-

trative unit within the FWS, and current acre- age within each administrative unit

- sorted by State, then alphabetically by wilder- ness name, and by administrative unit

Current NPS Acreages - composed of wilderness name, State, adminis-

trative unit within the NPS, and current acre- age within each administrative unit

- sorted by State, then alphabetically by wilder- ness name, and by administrative unit

Current State Acreages - composed of wilderness name, agency, admin-

istrative unit, current acreage within each administrative unit, and total State acreage

- sorted by State, then alphabetically by wilder- ness name, agency, and administrative unit

Public Laws and Acreages - composed of wilderness name, agency, State,

establishing and modifying public laws, date established, and acreage designated by the public law

- sorted by agency, then State, alphabetically by wilderness name, and chronologically by date established

Administrative Units of the BLM - composed of wilderness name, State, and the

administrative hierarchy to its lowest appli- cable level

- sorted alphabetically by State, wilderness name and administrative unit

Administrative Units of the FS - composed of wilderness name, State, region,

and the administrative hierarchy to its lowest level responsible for that wilderness

- sorted alphabetically by region, State, wilder- ness name, and administrative unit

In most cases, the purpose for a particular spread- sheet is obvious from its content and sorting. The last two spreadsheets, Administrative Units of the BLM and FS, are included because these agencies have finer levels of administration for their wildernesses, unlike the FWS and NPS which have only a single level of administration. Acreages are not available a t this finer level of administration, and while accurate as of the date of publication, the administrative offices responsible for a particular wilderness and the names of these offices can change rapidly.

Several abbreviations are used within the spread- sheets to save space, including the above agency ab- breviations and the following: FO (Field Office), NF (National Forest), NWR (National Wildlife Refuge), NP (National Park), NP& P (National Park and Pre- serve), NM (National Monument), NSS (National Sea- shore), RD (Ranger District), RA (Resource Area), and NR (National Recreation Area).

Sources of Information An important aspect of ensuring that this NWPS

Database is the most accurate and current source for wilderness information was determining which sources to rely on for different types of wilderness data. This database refers to both legal and administrative docu- ments for accurate and legally binding information.

USDA Forest Service Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-18-Revised Edition. 2000

Page 7: National Wilderness Preservation System database: key ...The Wilderness Act of 1964 established a National Wilderness Preservation System, and this publication is a compilation of

Sources include government documents, agency pub- lications, and communications with agency personnel. All of the documents used in this NWPS Database are listed in the References and Appendices, including all of the Public Laws and other government documents used to support these data. Due to space restrictions, specific sources used for every entry in this Database are not included here. The authors may be contacted for any of this information.

In addition, wilderness information is in a constant state of flux. Every year, Congress may establish new wildernesses and issue legislation redrawing wilder- ness boundaries and adding or subtracting acreage. Ongoing mapping efforts also produce new and more accurate data on wilderness size. Accordingly, this database can only provide a snapshot of the NWPS as it stood in 1999.

The Federal laws which established units of the NWPS, beginning with the Wilderness Act of 1964 and including all subsequent wilderness legislation, are the legally correct source for the wilderness names, locations, original acreage, and dates of designation. In some cases, discrepancies exist between the name commonly used for a wilderness, and the name listed in the enabling legislation. Unless an official decision was made to change the public law name, either administratively or legislatively, the name listed in the public law is legally binding and is used here. The accuracy of the public law numbers listed for each agency were checked against Title 16 of the U.S. Code (19981, which lists all units of the NWPS, the laws affecting them, and dates of enactment. Administra- tive information in this Database, including adminis- tering agency, administrative units, and current acre- age for every wilderness, was derived from data supplied by the four land management agencies.

This NWPS Database distinguishes between public law acreage, which is the acreage listed in the enabling legislation, and the current acreage, which is supplied by the administering agencies. The public law acreage for a given wilderness is merely an approximation. When a wilderness is officially designated, the legisla- tive language generally reads like the following ex- cerpt from Public Law 96-550 (Section 102(a)(l)):

certain lands in the Gila National Forest, New Mexico, which con~prise approxinzately two hundred and eleven thousand three hundred acres, as generally depicted on a map entitled "Aldo Leopold Wilderness-Proposed" dated August 1980, and which shall be known as the Aldo Leopold Wilderness. [emphasis added]

Once an area becomes part of the NWPS, the manag- ing agencies usually survey or map it and update the legislated acreage with more accurate information. In the above example, the Forest Service lists the acreage for the Aldo Leopold wilderness as 202,016 acres, a difference of over 9,000 acres from the public law acreage.

Current wilderness acreages within this database do not include private and State inholdings. Data on the exact size of wilderness inholdings within indi- vidual wildernesses is not uniformly available from the managing agencies. However, the omission of inholding acres accounts for some of the large discrep- ancies between public law acreage and current acre- age. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) is a good example. Initially designated wil- derness in 1964, in 1978 Public Law 95-495 amended the size of the BWCA, listing the total acreage for the area as 1,075,500. The current Forest Service acreage for the BWCA is 809,974, as is listed in this database. This substantial difference can a t least in part be attributed to inholdings, according to Forest Service personnel. However, the Forest Service does not have specific data on inholding acreages for this and many other wildernesses.

While the original public law acreage is important from a historical perspective, the administrative acre- age is considered the most accurate and up to date. The primary sources for current acreages are the latest agency reports. After the information from these sources was compiled, the database was distributed to regional and national wilderness specialists in each of the agencies (see appendix B). The feedback they provided alerted us to anomalies of specific areas and recent acreage changes. Where a wilderness crosses State boundaries (table I), or where multiple agencies have jurisdiction for a single wilderness (table 2), there is greater potential for discrepancies in the total acreage. Twenty-one wildernesses are administered by more than one agency; 19 of these are administered

by the Forest Service and the BLM, while one is administered by the FS and the FWS, and another is administered by the FS and NPS. Nineteen wilder- nesses cross State boundaries; of these, 18 occur in two States, and one wilderness occurs in three States.

Exceptions and Special Cases

While the previous section sets forth the guidelines used for choosing accurate data, there are exceptions to these general rules. Many of these exceptions con- cern the FS, partly because the FS has the greatest number of wilderness units and therefore more oppor- tunities for changes affecting the wilderness and its administration.

Although enabling legislation is the legally binding source for most wilderness information, there are some cases where other sources were used. The most notable case is the acreage of the original 54 wilder- ness units designated by the Wilderness Act of 1964. The Act, which was signed by President Lyndon Johnson on September 3,1964, immediately made all Forest Service "wilderness," "wild," and "canoe" areas wilderness units of the NWPS. However, the legisla- tion did not include either a list of these units or their acreage. Therefore the source for these public law acreages was not the act itself. It was not until Febru- ary 8,1965, that the President submitted a "Message to the House Committee on Interior and Insular Af- fairs" accompanying the Department of Agriculture's

Report on these areas (U.S. Congress House of Repre- sentatives 1965). The "Report of the Secretary of Agriculture on the Status of National Forest Units of the National Wilderness Preservation System" in- cluded a list of wilderness acreages along with a status report on the agency's progress in developing regula- tions for the new system of wilderness. Appendix B of the report lists the name, location, description, and size of each wilderness unit.

Wilderness names have changed throughout the history of the system both through legislative and administrative action. Legislative action is necessary to legally change a wilderness or administrative unit name. Wilderness names that have changed through Congressional mandate are shown in table 3. In addi- tion, there are instances where the administrative usage of an alternative name is so widespread that the administrative name is used in this Database. In the case of the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness, the name change was officially made by the managing agency and the U.S. Board of Geographic Names (1978), while the rest are the result of standard usage. The Board of Geographic Names (BGN) is a Federal entity created in 1890 to establish and maintain uniform geographic name usage within the government. I t is composed of representatives of Federal agencies and acts as a central authority to which all name questions and problems are directed.

The name of the Forest Service's Anaconda Pintler Wilderness in Montana was the subject of contention for many years because different spellings of both the wilderness name and other features with the same name were used legislatively, administratively, and publicly. The wilderness was officially designated as the "Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness" by the Wilderness Act of 1964. However, many maps and signs used the spelling "Pintlar" for the peak, pass, meadows, and other features of the same name. The family for which these features were named uses the spelling "Pintler" and had been trying unsuccessfully for years to have the name officially changed. In 1978, the Forest Ser- vice agreed to change the spellings from Pintlar to Pintler and at the same time removed the hyphen from the wilderness name. This was an officially docu- mented decision approved by the BGN (Decision List 7803), and the spelling Anaconda Pintler is used in this Database.

Several National Forests have been administra- tively combined, resulting in name changes that are universally accepted, although not Congressionally mandated. This database uses the combined names so that the information is more easily transferred to on- the-ground situations. This occurs in the following National Forests: Apache-Sitgreaves in Arizona, Beaverhead-Deerlodge in Montana, Bridger-Teton in Wyoming, Humbolt-Toiyabe in California and Nevada,

Although used here, these changes are not incorporated into Land Areas of the Natiorzal Forest System, the official Forest Service land data publication. Forest Service administration of wildernesses a t the Ranger District level is also reported in this Database, but as with the National Forests, District-level administration changes over time.

A change that is accepted by the Forest Service Land Areas publication but is not legislatively supported involves the Headwaters Wilderness in Wisconsin. Three wildernesses, Headwaters, Shelp Lake, and Kzmball Creek, were designated by Public Law 98-321 in 1984. The three areas were designated separately because they are separated by a road that did not fit the characteristics of a potential wilderness. They have always been managed as one unit, however, and are now referred to collectively as the Headwaters Wilderness.

Another interesting situation involves two wilder- nesses on the Francis Marion National Forest in South Carolina. In 1980, Public Law 96-560 named two different wilderness study areas "Wambaw Swamp Wilderness." Section 201(e) of the public law states that the lands "which comprise approximately 5,100 acres.. .depicted on a map entitled 'Wambaw Swamp Wilderness-Proposed', dated May 1980.. .shall be known as the Wambaw Swamp Wilderness." Subsequently, Section 201(g) designates another 5,100 acres known previously as "Little Wambaw Swamp Wilderness- Proposed" as the Wambaw Swamp Wilderness as well. While just the Wambaw Swamp is listed in the U.S. Code list of wildernesses, the FS Land Areas of the National Forest System book includes both a Wambaw Swamp and a Little Wambaw Swamp. The Wilderness Specialist from Forest Service Region 8 asserts that the mistake is in the public law, and that there are in fact two different wildernesses. This argument is bol- stered by the fact that the two areas are not even contiguous. The agency's interpretation has been ac- cepted and this database includes both wildernesses.

Number of Wildernesses in the National Wilderness Preservation System

At the time of publication, there are 628 wilder- nesses in the NWPS. This number differs from figures quoted in other wilderness databases due in part to the changes explained above, recent legislative changes, and the inclusion of inaccurate information in previ- ous lists. Since the publication of the.first edition of the NWPS Database in 1998 (RMRS-GTR-18) three new wilderness laws have been passed and four new areas have been created. One recent addition is the Opal Creek Wilderness administered by the FS in Oregon. Although this wilderness was conditionally estab- lished by the Oregon Resources Conservation Act of 1996, these conditions were not met until November of 1998 when the area officially joined the system. The three new wilderness laws were passed during the last 3 months of 1999. These laws established two new BLM wildernesses; the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness in Colorado and the Otay Mountain Wilderness in Cali- fornia; and one FS wilderness, the Dugger Mountain Wilderness in Alabama.

A wilderness that is missing from many NWPS descriptions is the Park Service's Chiricahua National Monument Wilderness in Arizona. The Forest Service manages the Chiricahua Wilderness on the Coronado National Forest in Arizona. This, however, is a sepa- rate wilderness, according to the U.S. Code, and was designated by a different public law. Some databases erroneously list only one Chiricahua wilderness man- aged by the two agencies.

Sometimes an agency will refer to different portions of the same wilderness as different wilderness units. Previous compilations of wilderness information have in some cases erroneously included these administra- tive units as separate wildernesses. This was the case with three Fish and Wildlife Service wildernesses: Bosque del Apache Wilderness in New Mexico, Wichita Mountains Wilderness in Oklahoma, and Moosehorn Wilderness in Maine (fig. 1). The "Moosehorn Wilder- ness (Baring Unit)" also in Maine, however, is a sepa- rate wilderness and is listed as such in the U.S. Code.

Only Congressionally designated wildernesses are included in this database. Where a wilderness is administered by more than one agency, the separately managed areas are referred to in this text as wilder- ness units. When reporting or discussing the number of wildernesses in the nation, i t is important to distin- guish the total number of wildernesses in the NWPS from the total number of wilderness units. The total number of wilderness units administered by all four agencies is 649 rather than 628, because 21 wilder- nesses are jointly administered by more than one agency (see table 2). Each of these 21 wildernesses are

Trends in Wilderness: I964 through 1999

The information provided by this Database can be used for many purposes. Along with providing specific data about a particular wilderness, State, or agency, the information in this NWPS Database allows the user to analyze trends across the system and over time. The following analysis of general trends pro- vides an overview of the NWPS and its 35 year devel- opment from 1964 to 1999.

Total Number and Acres

The number of wildernesses established (fig. 2) and acres designated (fig. 3) by each Congress shows con- siderable yearly variation. There were only nine indi- vidual years since passage of the Wilderness Act when no wildernesses were designated, and 1965 to 1967 was the only period of three consecutive years in which no wilderness legislation was passed by Congress. In 1984, 175 wildernesses were established, more than double any other year's addition. Despite the record number of new wildernesses in 1984, the largest num- ber of wilderness acres was designated in 1980 with passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Con- servation Act, which added over 56 million acres to the NWPS. Combined with other wilderness laws passed that year, nearly 61 million acres of wilderness were designated in 1980, more than six times the number of acres passed in any other year. These two large addi- tions in 1980 and in 1984, of acres and areas respec- tively, clearly show in the cumulative yearly total of

Agency Administration

The cumulative total number ofwildernesses within each agency over the 34 year history of the NWPS is shown in figure 4. For the first 4 years of the NWPS, there were 54 Forest Service wildernesses, with six added in 1968 and two more added in 1969. In 1970, FWS and NPS wildernesses were added, bringing the total number of wildernesses to 85. The following decade saw steady additions to all four agencies. In 1984 the number of FS wildernesses more than doubled, from 187 to 395, and the number of BLM wildernesses increased more than five times, from three to 16. In 1990, BLM wilderness again more than tripled, from 18 to 57. Passage of the California Desert Protection Act of 1994 more than doubled the number of BLM wildernesses to 129.

The cumulative total number of wilderness acres within each agency over the history of the NWPS is shown in figure 5. The 54 Forest Service wildernesses created in 1964 comprised 9,139,721 acres. In 1970, nearly 100,000 FWS acres and slightly over 93,000 NPS acres were added to the NWPS. In 1974, FWS wilderness acreage increased 4 and a half times to nearly 443,000 acres. Passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 increased FWS wilderness acreage more than 28 times to 19,243,811 acres, and NPS acreage nearly 12 times to 35,331,000 acres. Wilderness acreage in the BLM

increased nearly six and a half times in 1984, and increased again by more than three times in 1990 and by the same amount in 1994.

Comparing the current number of wildernesses and acres within the NWPS among the four wilderness agencies (table 4) shows that the NPS has the smallest number of wildernesses, 44 (7 percent of the NWPS), and the greatest amount of wilderness acreage, ap- proximately 44 million acres (42 percent of the NWPS). The Forest Service manages the largest number of wildernesses, 400 (62 percent), with nearly 35 million acres (33 percent). The FWS manages 71 wildernesses (1 1 percent) with over 20 million acres (20 percent), and the BLM manages 133 (20 percent) with a little over 5 million acres (5 percent). Within just the conterminous lower 48 States, the Forest Service manages the great- est amount of wilderness, approximately 29 million acres (63 percent of the NWPS in the conterminous States), the NPS manages slightly over 10 million acres (22 percent), the BLM manages 5.2 million acres (11 percent), and the FWS manages 2 million acres, the smallest amount of wilderness in the lower 48 States.

Comparing the number of wilderness acres within an agency to that agency's total acreage (fig. 6) shows that just under 2 percent of BLM land is wilderness, while nearly 57 percent of NPS land is designated wilderness. The FS and FWS fall between these ex- tremes, with a little over 18 percent and 22 percent, respectively, of agency land in designated wilderness.

Table 4-Agency administration of the NWPS. The number of units managed by each agency does not add up to the total number of wildernesses because some areas are managed by multiple agencies.

Size of Individual Wildernesses

The size class distribution of all wildernesses within the NWPS also reveals interesting trends (fig. 7). There are four wildernesses with over 5 million acres, all in Alaska. The largest wilderness in the NWPS is the National Park Service's Wrangell-St. Elias Wil- derness with 9,676,994 acres, larger than the entire original NWPS of 1964, and 9.3 percent of the entire NWPS. The largest wilderness outside ofAlaska is the National Park Service's Death Valley Wilderness in California and Nevada at 3,253,028 acres. The second largest wilderness in the conterminous 48 States is the Forest Service's and BLM's Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho at 2,366,698 acres.

Nineteen wildernesses (3 percent of the NWPS) are more than 1 million acres, while 124 wildernesses (20 percent of the NWPS) are more than 100,000 acres. The 10,000 to 50,000 acres size class has the greatest number of wildernesses, with 262 units, or 42 percent of the NWPS.

Although the Wilderness Act of 1964 defined wilder- ness, in part, as an area that is "at least five thousand acres of land or is of sufficient size as to make practicable its preservation and use in an unimpaired condition" (P.L. 88-77 Sec. 2(c)(3)), there are now 73 wilderness units smaller than 5,000 acres. Of these, 21 are smaller than 1,000 acres: 17 are managed by the FWS and four by the Forest Service. The smallest wilderness is the FWS 5.5 acre Pelican Island Wilderness in Florida. In the past, a BLM administered 5 acre unit of the larger Oregon Island Wilderness was considered the smallest wilderness. The Oregon Resources Conservation Act of 1996 subsumed this small administrative unit into the larger FWS Oregon Islands Wilderness.

State Distribution

The percentage of wilderness in each State is shown in figure 8. Only Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Kan- sas, Maryland, and Rhode Island lack designated wilderness. Alaska has the greatest percentage of wilderness (15.4 percent), followed closely by Califor- nia (13.8 percent). Not only does Alaska have the greatest proportion of its land in wilderness, the 58,182,216 acres ofwilderness in Alaska make up over 55 percent of the acreage of the entire NWPS. Florida has the most wildernesses acreage of any Eastern State. Two States, Ohio and New York, have less than one one-hundredth of a percent of wilderness.

Percent Wilderness Figure 8-Percentage of State area that is wilderness. State acreages are the total acreage including land and water, derived from the U.S. Depart- ment of Commerce (1 980).

Wilderness acreage in the 11 Western States of Washington, Oregon California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho comprises slightly over 40 percent of the entire NWPS, and nearly 91 percent of the NWPS in the lower 48 conterminous States. Western wildernesses also comprise 1.82 percent of the land area of the entire United States, and 2.18 percent of the land area of the conterminous States. Wilderness acreage in the East- ern States together coniprises slightly more than 4 percent of the entire NWPS, and 9.5 percent of the NWPS in the lower 48 States. These Eastern wilder- nesses also comprise 0.19 percent of the land area of the entire United States, and 0.23 percent of the land area of the conterminous States.

I t is commonly assumed that there are many small wildernesses in the Eastern States compared to a few,

large wildernesses in the West. This assumption is only partially valid: Eastern wildernesses are smaller, while the Western States have both a greater number and larger wildernesses. Western States have an average of 37 wildernesses per State, compared to an average of five wildernesses per State in the East. Western States have an average of 5.4 percent of their land area in wilderness, compared to the Eastern States average of 0.5 percent land area in wilderness. The average size of a wilderness in the Western States is 101,610 acres, compared to 23,657 acres in the Eastern States. These comparisons show that, compared to the Eastern States, Western States have nearly 6.5 times the average number of wildernesses per State, nearly 11 times the average proportion of their State land area in wilder- ness, and that Western wildernesses are over four times the average size of Eastern wildernesses.

Appendix A: Public Laws All public laws designating and affecting wilderness a re listed in chronological order below. Each law is followed

by a list of four potential items, separated by a (*): States affected by tha t law; management agencies designated by tha t law; the number of wilderness study areas (WSAs) designated, if any; and whether special provisions apply. The term "special provisions" a s used here refers to specific management directions t ha t apply only to t he wildernesses designated by the particular act. These usually reflect unique circumstances and may be exceptions to provisions of the Wilderness Act of 1964. If one of these items is not included, it does not apply to t ha t law. For example, t he first law listed below, the Wilderness Act, affected 12 States, designated the USDA Forest Service a s t he managing agency for all these wildernesses, designated no Wilderness Study Areas, and included special management provisions.
