Prohibits federal land managers from banning or otherwise regulating the use or sale of lead in hunting ammunition or fishing tackle on federal lands and waters that are open to hunting or fishing. Allows a narrow exception for site-specific prohibitions or rules only when field data show wildlife declines are primarily caused by lead and the action is consistent with or approved by the relevant State fish and wildlife authority; the Secretary must publish an explanation in the Federal Register showing how the site meets those tests.
