Modifying the Bears Ears National Monument

This proclamation proclaims a modification to the Bears Ears National Monument boundaries effective July 13, 2026, changing the extent of federally reserved lands in Utah. It directs the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management and the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service to manage the revised monument area and removes certain acreage previously included, citing the Antiquities Act standards for confining reservations to the smallest area compatible with protection.
