Modifying the Bears Ears National Monument
This proclamation drastically reduces the Bears Ears National Monument from approximately 1.36 million acres to about 121,096 acres (two units: Shash Jáa and Indian Creek), excluding roughly 1.24 million acres. The excluded lands open to mineral leasing, mining, and other disposition 60 days after signing.
