PUBLIC LAW 101-121—OCT. 23, 1989 103 STAT. 747 northern spotted owls shall occur within the 110 areas identified in the December 22, 1987 agreement, except sales identified in said agreement, between the Bureau of Land Management and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Not later than thirty days after enactment of this Act, the Bureau of Land Mans^ement, after consulting with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to identify high priority spotted owl area sites, shall select an additional twelve spotted owl habitat areas. No timber sales may be offered in the areas identified pursuant to this subsection during fiscal year 1990. (6)(A) Without passing on the legal and factual adequacy of the Final Supplement to the Environmental Impact Statement for an Amendment to the Pacific Northwest Regional Guide—Spotted Owl Guidelines and the accompanying Record of Decision issued by the Forest Service on December 8, 1988 or the December 22, 1987 agreement between the Bureau of Land Management and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for management of the spotted owl, the Congress hereby determines and directs that management of areas according to subsections O^XS) and ODXS) of this section on the thirteen national forests in Oregon and Washington and Bureau of Land Management lands in western Oregon known to contain northern spotted owls is adequate consideration for the purpose of meeting the statutory requirements that are the basis for the consolidated cases captioned Seattle Audubon Society et al., v. F. Dale Robertson, Civil No. 89 -160 and Washington Contract Loggers Assoc, et al., v. F. Dale Robertson, Civil No. 89 -99 (order granting preliminary injunction) and the case Portland Audubon Society et al., V. Manuel Liyan, Jr., Civil No. 87-1160-FR. The guidelines adopted by subsections 0)X3) and (b)(5) of this section shall not be subject to judicial review by any court of the United States. (B) The Forest Service is directed to review and revise as appro- priate the decision adopted in the December 1988 Record of Decision referenced in subsection (b)(6)(A) of this section and shall consider any new information gathered subsequent to the issuance of the Record of Decision, including the interagency guidelines for con- servation of northern spotted owls developed by the Interagency Scientific Committee to address conservation of the northern spot- ted owl. This review, and any resulting changes to the December 1988 decision determined to be necessary by the Forest Service are to be completed and in effect not later than September 30, 1990. (c)(1) The Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior shall name advisory boards on a national forest-by-national forest and Bureau of Land Management districtby-district basis which shall be com- prised of not more than seven mdividuals who, in the appropriate Secretary's judgment, represent a diversity of views. In the process of selecting individuals to serve on the advisory boards, the Secretar- ies shall make every effort to recognize the diversity of views and perspectives and allow parties which represent a cross-section of those views to participate in making recommendations in the selec- tion of board members, provided, that every effort will be made to ensure the advisory boards are comprised of an equal number of representatives of environmental and business concerns. The ad- visory boards shall be named not later than thirty days after enactment of this Act. The advisory boards shall provide rec- ommendations to the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management in reviewing prospective timber sales which shall meet the timber sale levels directed by this section prior to their offer.
