SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Cherry Valley National Wildlife
Refuge Study Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The scenic Cherry Valley area of Northeastern
        Pennsylvania is blessed with more than 80 special-concern
        animal and plant species and natural habitats.
            (2) In a preliminary assessment of Cherry Valley, United
        States Fish and Wildlife Service biologists ranked Cherry
        Valley very high as a potential national wildlife refuge.
            (3) Six species that are listed as endangered species or
        threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16
        U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) have been documented within or near Cherry
        Valley: The bog turtle (possibly the most significant
        population of the listed subspecies), the dwarf wedge mussel,
        the northeastern bulrush, the small whorled pogonia, the bald
        eagle, and the Indiana bat (a historic resident, with efforts
        under way to re-establish favorable conditions).
            (4) Cherry Valley provides habitat for at least 79 species
        of national or regional concern, which either nest in Cherry
        Valley or migrate through the area during critical times in
        their life cycle, including--
                    (A) neo-tropical migratory birds such as the
                Cerulean Warbler, the Worm-eating Warbler, and the Wood
                Thrush, all of which nest in Cherry Valley;
                    (B) waterfowl such as the American Black Duck;
                    (C) several globally rare plants, such as the
                spreading globeflower; and
                    (D) anadromous fish species.
            (5) The Cherry Valley watershed encompasses a large segment
        of the Kittatinny Ridge, an important migration route for birds
        of prey throughout the Northeastern United States. Every
        migratory raptor species in the Northeast is regularly observed
        along the Kittatinny Ridge during the autumnal migration,
        including the bald eagle, the golden eagle, and the broad-
        winged hawk.
            (6) The Kittatinny Ridge also includes a long segment of
        the Appalachian Trail, a nationally significant natural-
        cultural-recreational feature.
            (7) Many of the significant wildlife habitats found in the
        Cherry Valley, especially the rare calcareous wetlands, have
        disappeared from other localities in their range.
            (8) Ongoing studies have documented the high water quality
        of Cherry Creek.
            (9) Public meetings over several years have demonstrated
        strong, deep, and growing local support for a Cherry Valley
        National Wildlife Refuge, as demonstrated by the following:
                    (A) Area landowners, business and community
                leaders, media, and elected officials have consistently
                voiced their enthusiasm for a Cherry Valley National
                Wildlife Refuge.
                    (B) Numerous local communities and public and
                private conservation entities share complementary goals
                for protecting Cherry Valley and are energetically
                conserving wildlife habitat and farmland. Along with
                State land-management agencies and the National Park
                Service, these local entities represent potential
                strong partners for the United States Fish and Wildlife
                Service, and view a Cherry Valley National Wildlife
                Refuge as a complement to existing private, county,
                municipal, and State efforts.
                    (C) A number of local landowners have already put
                their land into conservation easements or other
                conservation arrangements.
                    (D) A voter-approved Monroe County Open Space Fund
                and a voter-approved Stroud Township municipal land
                conservation fund have contributed to many of these
                projects.
            (10) Two federally owned parcels of land are contiguous to
        the area to be studied under this Act as for acquisition and
        inclusion in a future Cherry Valley National Wildlife Refuge:
        The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and a 700-acre
        segment of the Appalachian Trail owned by the National Park
        Service.

SEC. 3. STUDY OF REFUGE POTENTIAL AND FUTURE REFUGE LAND ACQUISITION.

        under the policies of the National Wildlife Refuge System
        Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 668dd et seq.).
            (2) Assess the conservation benefits to be gained from the
        establishment of a Cherry Valley National Wildlife Refuge
        including--
                    (A) preservation and maintenance of diverse
                populations of fish, wildlife, and plants, including
                species listed as threatened species or endangered
                species;

                habitats.
            (3) Provide an opportunity for public participation and
        give special consideration to views expressed by local public
        and private entities regarding lands, waters, and interests
        therein for potential future acquisition for refuge purposes.
            (4) The total area of lands, water, and interests therein

``Sec. 2699. Exclusiveness of remedy
    ``(a) The authority of any Federal agency to sue and be sued in its
own name shall not be construed to authorize suits against such Federal
agency on constitutional tort claims arising under this chapter which
are cognizable under section 1346(b)(2), and the remedies provided by
this title in such case shall be exclusive.
    ``(b)(1) Upon filing a claim with the district court under section
1346(b)(2), the remedy against the United States provided by section
2693 for claims for money damages based on constitutional torts shall
be exclusive of any other Federal civil action or proceeding for money
damages by reason of the same subject matter against the employee whose
act or omission gave rise to the claim or against the estate of such
employee.
    ``(2) Paragraph (1) does not extend or apply to a civil action
against an employee of the Government--
            ``(A) which is brought against the employee for acting
        outside the scope of the employee's office or employment in
        violation of the Constitution of the United States, or
            ``(B) which is brought for a violation of a statute of the
        United States or a statute of any State under which such action
        against an individual is otherwise authorized.
    ``(c) The provisions of this chapter shall be limited to
constitutional tort claims against Federal agencies or employees of the
Government. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude or preempt suit
against any person or entity on any other claim, whether based on
international, Federal, State, or common law, and no provision of this
chapter shall act as a release, waiver, or bar to such claim.
    ``(d) Upon certification by the Attorney General pursuant to
subsection (e), the Attorney General shall defend any civil action or
proceeding brought in any court against any employee of the Government
or against the estate of such employee for money damages based on any
constitutional tort. The employee against whom such civil action or
proceeding is brought shall deliver within such time after date of
service or knowledge of service as determined by the Attorney General,
all process served upon the employee or an attested true copy thereof
to the employee's immediate superior or to whomever was designated by
the head of the employee's department to receive such papers and such
person shall promptly furnish copies of the pleadings and process
therein to the United States attorney for the district embracing the
place wherein the proceeding is brought, to the Attorney General, and
to the head of the employee's employing Federal agency.
    ``(e)(1) Upon certification by the Attorney General that the
defendant was acting within the scope of the defendant's office or
employment at the time of the incident out of which the claim arose,
any civil action or proceeding commenced upon such claim in a United
States district court shall be deemed an action against the United
States under the provisions of this title and all references thereto,
and the United States shall be substituted as the party defendant.
    ``(2) Upon certification by the Attorney General that the defendant
was acting within the scope of the defendant's office or employment at
the time of the incident out of which the claim arose, any civil action
or proceeding commenced upon such claim in a State court shall be
removed without bond at any time before trial by the Attorney General
to the district court of the United States for the district and
division embracing the place in which the action or proceeding is
pending. Such action or proceeding shall be deemed to be an action or
proceeding brought against the United States under the provisions of
this title and all references thereto, and the United States shall be
substituted as the party defendant. This certification of the Attorney
General shall conclusively establish scope of office or employment for
purposes of removal.
    ``(3) In the event that the Attorney General has refused to certify
scope of office or employment under this section, the employee may at
any time before trial, petition the court to find and certify that the
employee was acting within the scope of the employee's office or
employment. Upon such certification by the court, such action or
proceeding shall be deemed to be an action or proceeding brought
against the United States under the provisions of this title and all
references thereto, and the United States shall be substituted as the
party defendant. A copy of the petition shall be served upon the United
States in accordance with the provisions of rule 4(d)(4) of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure. In the event the petition is filed in a civil
action or proceeding pending in a State court, the action or proceeding
may be removed without bond by the Attorney General to the district
court of the United States for the district and division embracing the
place in which it is pending. If, in considering the petition, the
district court determines that the employee was not acting within the
scope of the employee's office or employment, the action or proceeding
shall be remanded to the State court.
    ``(4) Upon certification, any action or proceeding subject to
paragraph (1), (2), or (3) shall proceed in the same manner as any
action against the United States filed pursuant to section 1346(b)(2)
and shall be subject to the limitations and exceptions applicable to
those actions.
    ``(5) Whenever an action or proceeding in which the United States
is substituted as the party defendant under this subsection is
dismissed for failure to first present a claim pursuant to section
2694(a), such a claim shall be deemed to be timely presented under
section 2401(b)(2) if--
            ``(A) the claim would have been timely had it been filed on
        the date the underlying civil action was commenced, and
            ``(B) the claim is presented to the appropriate Federal
        agency within 60 days after dismissal of the civil action.
    ``(f) The Attorney General may compromise or settle any claim
asserted in any civil action or proceeding described in this section in
the manner provided in section 2697, and with the same effect.
``Sec. 2700. Administrative action concerning employee
    ``Where an action or proceeding under section 1346(b)(2) or 2692 on
a constitutional tort results in a judgment against the United States
or an award, compromise, or settlement paid by the United States, the
Attorney General shall forward the matter to the head of the Federal
agency which employed the employee at the time of the employee's
alleged act or omission giving rise to the claim upon which the action
or proceeding was based, for such further administrative investigation
or disciplinary action as may be appropriate. In any administrative
proceeding relating to such investigation or disciplinary action, the
employee may assert as a defense the employee's reasonable good-faith
belief in the lawfulness of the employee's conduct.''.
