ROCKHOUND SOAPBOX - NATIONAL MONUMENTS REVIEW
By
John Martin - CFMS PLAC September 2017
On April 26, 2017 President Trump issued
Executive Order 13792 requiring the review of National Monuments created by
Executive Actions from several preceding Presidents.
The task of the review was assigned to the
Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke. The review process included inputs from
government agencies, state governments, local stakeholders and the public. Over
2.7 million comments were received.
On June 30, 2017, 17 members of Congress united
and signed a final letter to Secretary Zinke addressing 27 of the National
Monuments under review. The letter is 28 pages in length and is available in
PDF Format. The letter addresses 27 National Monuments and suggests
recommendations
to Secretary Zinke. The letter may be read on the ALAA Website on the Active
Access Issues page, http://www.amlands.org/
