Establishment of boundaries; classification.
(b) The agency charged with the administration of each component of
the national wild and scenic rivers system designated by subsection (a)
of this section shall, within one year from the date of designation of
such component under subsection (a) (except where a different date if
[is] provided in subsection (a)), establish detailed boundaries therefor
(which boundaries shall include an average of not more than 320 acres of
land per mile measured from the ordinary high water mark on both sides of
the river); and determine which of the classes outlined in section 2,
subsection (b), of this Act best fit the river or its various segments.
Notice of the availability of the boundaries and classification, and of
subsequent boundary amendments shall be published in the Federal
Register and shall not become effective until ninety days after they
have been forwarded to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the
House of Representatives.
Public availability of maps and descriptions.
(c) Maps of all boundaries and descriptions of the classifications of
designated river segments, and subsequent amendments to such boundaries,
shall be available for public inspection in the offices of the
administering agency in the District of Columbia and in locations

Review requirements for early designations and
management plans.
(d)(1) For rivers designated on or after January 1, 1986, the Federal
agency charged with the administration of each component of the National
Wild and Scenic Rivers System shall prepare a comprehensive management
plan for such river segment to provide for the protection of the river
values. The plan shall address resource protection, development of lands
and facilities, user capacities, and other management practices necessary
or desirable to achieve the purposes of this Act. The plan shall be
coordinated with and may be incorporated into resource management
planning for affected adjacent Federal lands. The plan shall be prepared,
after consultation with State and local governments and the interested
public within 3 full fiscal years after the date of designation. Notice
of the completion and availability of such plans shall be published in
the Federal Register.
(2) For rivers designated before January 1, 1986, all boundaries,
classifications, and plans shall be reviewed for conformity within the
requirements of this subsection within 10 years through regular agency
planning processes.
Requirements for study reports.
SECTION 4. (a) The Secretary of the Interior or, where national forest
lands are involved, the Secretary of Agriculture or, in appropriate
cases, the two Secretaries jointly shall study and submit to the
President reports on the suitability or nonsuitability for addition to
the national wild and scenic rivers system of rivers which are designated
herein or hereafter by the Congress as potential additions to such
system. The President shall report to the Congress his recommendations
and proposals with respect to the designation of each such river or
section thereof under this Act. Such studies shall be completed and such
reports shall be made to the Congress with respect to all rivers named in
subparagraphs 5(a) (1) through (27) of this Act no later than October 2,
1978. In conducting these studies the Secretary of the Interior and the
Secretary of Agriculture shall give priority to those rivers (i) with
respect to which there is the greatest likelihood of developments which,
if undertaken, would render the rivers unsuitable for inclusion in the
national wild and scenic rivers system, and (ii) which possess the
greatest proportion of private lands within their areas. Every such study
and plan shall be coordinated with any water resources planning involving
the same river which is being conducted pursuant to the Water Resources
Planning Act (79 Stat. 244; 42 U.S.C. 1962 et seq.). Each report,
including maps and illustrations, shall show among other things the area
included within the report; the characteristics which do or do not make
the area a worthy addition to the system; the current status of land
ownership and use in the area; the reasonably foreseeable potential uses
of the land and water which would be enhanced, foreclosed, or curtailed
if the area were included in the national wild and scenic rivers system;
the Federal agency (which in the case of a river which is wholly or
substantially within a national forest, shall be the Department of
Agriculture) by which it is proposed the area, should it be added to the
system, be administered; the extent to which it is proposed that such
administration, including the costs thereof, be shared by State and local
agencies; and the estimated cost to the United States of acquiring
necessary lands and interests in land and of administering the area,
should it be added to the system. Each such report shall be printed as a
Senate or House document.
(b) Before submitting any such report to the President and the
Congress, copies of the proposed report shall, unless it was prepared
jointly by the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of
Agriculture, be submitted by the Secretary of the Interior to the
Secretary of Agriculture or by the Secretary of Agriculture to the
Secretary of the Interior, as the case may be, and to the Secretary of
the Army, the Secretary of Energy, the head of any other affected Federal
department or agency and, unless the lands proposed to be included in the
area are already owned by the United States or have already been
authorized for acquisition by Act of Congress, the Governor of the State
or States in which they are located or an officer designated by the
Governor to receive the same. Any recommendations or comments on the
proposal which the said officials furnish the Secretary or Secretaries
who prepared the report within ninety days of the date on which the
report is submitted to them, together with the Secretary's or
Secretaries' comments thereon, shall be included with the transmittal to
the President and the Congress.
Review requirements for State components.
(c) Before approving or disapproving for inclusion in the national
wild and scenic rivers system any river designated as a wild, scenic or
recreational river by or pursuant to an act of the State legislature, the
Secretary of the Interior shall submit the proposal to the Secretary of
Agriculture, the Secretary of the Army, the Secretary of Energy, and the
head of any other affected Federal department or agency and shall
evaluate and give due weight to any recommendations or comments which the
said officials furnish him within ninety days of the date on which it is
submitted to them. If he approves the proposed inclusion, he shall
publish notice thereof in the Federal Register.
Study boundaries.
(d) The boundaries of any river proposed in section 5(a) of this Act
for potential addition to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System
shall generally comprise that area measured within one-quarter mile from
the ordinary high water mark on each side of the river. In the case of
any designated river, prior to publication of boundaries pursuant to
section 3(b) of this Act, the boundaries also shall comprise the same
area. This subsection shall not be construed to limit the possible scope
of the study report to address areas which may lie more than one-quarter
mile from the ordinary high water mark on each side of the river.
