Sec. 1962b-3. Duties of commissions

    Each river basin commission shall--
        (1) engage in such activities and make such studies and 
    investigations as are necessary and desirable in carrying out the

    the purposes set forth in section 1962b(b) of this title;
        (2) submit to the Council and the Governor of each participating 
    State a report on its work at least once each year. Such report 
    shall be transmitted through the President to the Congress. After 
    such transmission, copies of any such report shall be sent to the 
    heads of such Federal, State, interstate, and international agencies 
    as the President or the Governors of the participating States may 
    direct;
        (3) submit to the Council for transmission to the President and 
    by him to the Congress, and the Governors and the legislatures of 
    the participating States a comprehensive, coordinated, joint plan, 
    or any major portion thereof or necessary revisions thereof, for 
    water and related land resources development in the area, river 
    basin, or group of river basins for which such commission was 
    established. Before the commission submits such a plan or major 
    portion thereof or revision thereof to the Council, it shall 
    transmit the proposed plan or revision to the head of each Federal 
    department or agency, the Governor of each State, and each 
    interstate agency, from which a member of the commission has been 
    appointed, and to the head of the United States section of any 
    international commission if the plan, portion or revision deals with 
    a boundary water or a river crossing a boundary, or any tributary 
    flowing into such boundary water or river, over which the 
    international commission has jurisdiction or for which it has 
    responsibility. Each such department and agency head, Governor, 
    interstate agency, and United States section of an international 
    commission shall have ninety days from the date of the receipt of 
    the proposed plan, portion, or revision to report its views, 
    comments, and recommendations to the commission. The commission may 
    modify the plan, portion, or revision after considering the reports 
    so submitted. The views, comments, and recommendations submitted by 
    each Federal department or agency head, Governor, interstate agency, 
    and United States section of an international commission shall be 
    transmitted to the Council with the plan, portion, or revision; and
        (4) submit to the Council at the time of submitting such plan, 
    any recommendations it may have for continuing the functions of the 
    commission and for implementing the plan, including means of keeping 
    the plan up to date.
