PLAN.—Section 5 of such Act (16 U.S.C. 1244) is further
amended by adding at the end the following new sub-
section:
‘‘(h) Within three complete fiscal years after the date
of enactment of any law designating a national discovery
trail, the administering Federal agency shall enter into ar-
rangements with a competent trailwide nonprofit organi-
zation to submit a comprehensive plan for the protection,
management, development, and use of the trail, to the
Committee on Resources of the United States House of
Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natu-
ral Resources of the United States Senate. The Secretary
shall ensure that the comprehensive plan does not conflict
with any existing agency direction and that the nonprofit
organization consults with affected land managing agen-
cies, the Governors of the affected States, county and local
political jurisdictions, and local organizations maintaining
components of the trail. Mandatory components of the
comprehensive plan include—
‘‘(1) specific objectives and practices to be ob-
served in the administration and management of the
trail, including the identification of all significant
natural, historical, and cultural resources to be pre-
served, model agreements necessary for joint trail
administration among and between interested par-
ties, and an identified carrying capacity of the trail
and a plan for its implementation;
‘‘(2) a trail protection plan to preserve the val-
ues for which the trail is being established and rec-
ognized by the Federal Government;
‘‘(3) general and site-specific development plans
including anticipated costs; and
‘‘(4) the process to be followed by the nonprofit
