SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 
2009 (Pub. L. 111-11) of March 30, 2009, designated the Virgin Wild and 
Scenic River, to be administered by the Secretary of Interior. As 
specified by law (16 U.S.C. 1274(b)), the boundary becomes effective 90 
days after the boundary amendments are forwarded to Congress. Since the 
boundary amendments were forwarded on July 28, 2014, the boundaries 
became effective on October 26, 2014.
    Additional portions of the Virgin Wild and Scenic River are managed 
by the Bureau of Land Management. In accordance with national BLM 
policies outlined in BLM's Manual 6120, section .12, Congressionally 
Required Maps and Legal Boundary Descriptions for NLCS Designations 
requires that legal boundary description must be developed in 
conformance with BLM's Manual of Surveying Instructions, 2009 and be 
finalized by the State Office Chief Cadastral Surveyor. Utah BLM will 
prepare these maps and legal boundary descriptions specific to the BLM 
segments of the Virgin River. Utah BLM will submit them to Congress as 
an amended submittal and to the Eastern States Office (in accordance 
with Manual 6120) at a later date.
