final boundary of the Birch Creek National Wild and Scenic River to
Congress. The Birch Creek Wild and Scenic River boundary description is
available for review on the website or in person as indicated in the
ADDRESSES section.
The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of December 2,
1980 (Pub. L. 96-487), designated Birch Creek in Alaska as a National
Wild and Scenic River to be administered by the Secretary of the
Interior. The initial comprehensive river management plan (CRMP) was
completed in 1983. A revision to the CRMP was needed to be in
conformance with BLM's 2009 National Landscape Conservation System,
2016 Steese Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan,
and the 2022 Steese Travel and Transportation Management Plan Decision
Record.
As specified by law, the boundary will not be effective until 90
days after Congress receives the transmittal.
(Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1271; 16 U.S.C. 1274(b))

State Director, Alaska.
