I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 17, line 18, after the first period, insert the following: ``(j) Legal Fees.-- ``(1) Any person, other than a directly affected party, challenging an action of the Secretary concerned regarding a final grazing decision in Federal court who is not a prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing parties (including a directly affected party who intervenes in such suit) fees and other expenses incurred by that party in connection with the challenge unless the Court finds that the position of the person was substantially justified. ``(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``directly affected party'' means any applicant, permittee, or lessee (or any organization representing applicants, permittees or lessees) whose interest in grazing livestock is directly affected by the final grazing decision.''. The CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 472, the gentleman from Idaho (Mr. Labrador) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Idaho.
