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.
