Adds a parcel to the Flatside Wilderness area by labeling it as a proposed addition, preserves the Secretary of Agriculture’s existing authority under the Wilderness Act, and renames the referenced portion of the Flatside Wilderness as the “Flatside‑Bethune Wilderness.” The law also directs that any existing federal maps, laws, or documents that use the old name be read as using the new name.
The changes are administrative and limited in scope: they update statutory language, preserve existing agency authority for on‑the‑ground management, and require documentary updates (maps, regulations, and other records) to reflect the new name.
