    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.
