Directs the Council to: (1) report to the International Joint Commission on water levels in the Rainy Lake Watershed; (2) submit the plan to the Secretary and Governor for review (and requires the Secretary to approve or disapprove the plan within 90 days); (3) review and monitor the implementation of the plan (and authorizes the Council, after public comment and approval by the Secretary, to modify the plan if the Council and the Secretary determine that the modification is necessary); and (4) advise and cooperate with appropriate Federal, State, local, and tribal governmental entities, before the approval of the plan, to minimize adverse impacts on the park.

Bars the Secretary, from the date of enactment through the date a management plan is approved, from issuing regulations relating to the park, except for regulations required for routine business and emergency regulations.
