Directs the Secretary of the Interior, in: (1) preparing the comprehensive management plan for such segments, to work in conjunction with appropriate Federal, State, regional, and local agencies, including specified departments and commissions; and (2) preparing and implementing such plan, to consider existing State and local regulation and avoid creating duplicative regulatory authority, and consider public input from conservation organizations, watershed associations, and private landowners.
