Headwaters to the national wild and scenic rivers system, to be administered by the Secretary of the Interior. The headwaters encompass an entire watershed and include 13 rivers and 25 separate river segments that flow across National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lands, as well as a small portion of state and private lands. The boundary establishment addressed in this notice includes only those lands managed by the National Park Service and those at the National Elk Refuge, which are managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. As specified by Public Law 111-11 (123 Stat. 1147, 16 U.S.C. 1274 (a)(12)), the boundary becomes effective 90 days after the final boundary description and maps are forwarded to Congress.
