Modifying the Bears Ears National Monument
This proclamation reverses the 2021 expansion of Bears Ears National Monument, reducing its protected area from approximately 1.36 million acres to about 121,096 acres. It invokes the Antiquities Act to exclude lands deemed not meeting legal criteria for monument status, returning them to prior federal multi-use management (BLM/USFS) and freeing them for non-monument uses like energy development, mining, and grazing.
Modifying the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
This proclamation revokes the 2021 expansion of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, reducing its size from approximately 1.87 million acres to about 181,541 acres. It cites the Antiquities Act to argue that the prior expansion was not confined to the smallest area needed to protect objects of historic or scientific interest, and it emphasizes the presence of critical minerals (e.g., uranium, cobalt, copper) that are vital to economic and national security. The action directs the Bureau of Land Management to manage the reduced monument and opens the removed lands to potential mining and energy development.
