In conducting these studies the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture shall give priority to those rivers (i) with respect to which there is the greatest likelihood of developments which, if under- taken, would render the rivers unsuitable for in- clusion in the national wild and scenic rivers system, and (ii) which possess the greatest pro- portion of private lands within their areas. Every such study and plan shall be coordinated with any water resources planning involving the same river which is being conducted pursuant to the Water Resources Planning Act [42 U.S.C. 1962 et seq.]. Each report, including maps and illustrations, shall show among other things the area included within the report; the characteristics which do or do not make the area a worthy addition to the system; the current status of land ownership and use in the area; the reasonably foreseeable potential uses of the land and water which would be enhanced, foreclosed, or curtailed if the area were included in the national wild and scenic rivers system; the Federal agency (which in the case of a river which is wholly or substan- tially within a national forest, shall be the De- partment of Agriculture) by which it is proposed the area, should it be added to the system, be administered; the extent to which it is proposed that such administration, including the costs thereof, be shared by State and local agencies; and the estimated cost to the United States of acquiring necessary lands and interests in land and of administering the area, should it be added to the system. Each such report shall be printed as a Senate or House document. (b) Study of report by affected Federal and State officials; recommendations and comments; transmittal to President and Congress Before submitting any such report to the President and the Congress, copies of the pro- posed report shall, unless it was prepared jointly by the Secretary of the Interior and the Sec- retary of Agriculture, be submitted by the Sec- retary of the Interior to the Secretary of Agri- culture or by the Secretary of Agriculture to the Secretary of the Interior, as the case may be, and to the Secretary of the Army, the Secretary of Energy, the head of any other affected Fed- eral department or agency and, unless the lands proposed to be included in the area are already owned by the United States or have already been authorized for acquisition by Act of Congress, the Governor of the State or States in which they are located or an officer designated by the Governor to receive the same. Any recommenda- tions or comments on the proposal which the said officials furnish the Secretary or Secre- taries who prepared the report within ninety days of the date on which the report is sub- mitted to them, together with the Secretary’s or Secretaries’ comments thereon, shall be in- cluded with the transmittal to the President and the Congress. (c) Publication in Federal Register Before approving or disapproving for inclusion in the national wild and scenic rivers system any river designated as a wild, scenic or rec- reational river by or pursuant to an act of a State legislature, the Secretary of the Interior shall submit the proposal to the Secretary of
