Modifying the Bears Ears National Monument
Key claim: The President issued an executive document modifying the Bears Ears National Monument.
Abstract
(Presidential Document · Executive Office of the President)
Why this matters
Presidential modification of national monuments directly affects the acreage and use restrictions on federal public lands, with downstream implications for mineral leasing, grazing, recreation access, and tribal co-management. Bears Ears has been a focal point of the recurring executive-branch tug-of-war over Antiquities Act authority, and each modification changes on-the-ground permitting and conservation status.
