(b) Charter and operation; reports and recommendations

    The task force shall be chartered and operate under the provisions 
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Public Law 92-463; 5 U.S.C. App.) 
and shall prepare recommendations concerning the Colorado River 
Floodway, which recommendations shall deal with:
        (1) the means to restore and maintain the Floodway specified in 
    section 1600c of this title, including, but not limited to, specific 
    instances where land transfers or relocations, or other changes in 
    land management, might best effect the purposes of this chapter;
        (2) the necessity for additional Floodway management legislation 
    at local, tribal, State, and Federal levels;
        (3) the development of specific design criteria for the creation 
    of the Floodway boundaries;
        (4) the review of mapping procedures for Floodway boundaries;
        (5) whether compensation should be recommended in specific cases 
    of economic hardship resulting from impacts of the 1983 flood on 
    property outside the Floodway which could not reasonably have been 
    foreseen; and
        (6) the potential application of the Floodway on Indian lands 
    and recommended legislation or regulations that might be needed to 
    achieve the purposes of the Floodway taking into consideration the 
    special Federal status of Indian lands.

        Committees

    The task force shall exist for at least one year after October 8,
