Releases national forest system lands in Kentucky which were reviewed in the RARE II program from further review by the Department of Agriculture, pending the revision of initial national forest management plans. Releases lands in Kentucky reviewed in the RARE II program and not designated as wilderness from management as wilderness areas.
