16 U.S.C. § 271e — Report to President
submitted 55 years ago by Pub. L. 88-590 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 71 words · no verdicts yet
This law requires a wilderness study of Canyonlands National Park. Within three years of November 12, 1971, the Secretary of the Interior must tell the President which park areas are suitable for wilderness protection. Any wilderness designation must follow the same review process used for other federal wilderness studies.
Within three years of November 12, 1971, the Secretary of the Interior must send the President a report about Canyonlands National Park.
The report must recommend which areas within the park, if any, are suitable — or not suitable — to be protected as wilderness.
This report must be prepared following the process set out in section 1132(c) and (d) of this title — the general law covering how federal agencies study land and recommend wilderness areas.
If any part of the park is later designated as wilderness, that designation must also be carried out following that same section 1132(c) and (d) process.
Within three years from November 12, 1971, the Secretary of the Interior shall report to the President, in accordance with section 1132(c) and (d) of this title, his recommendations as to the suitability or nonsuitability of any area within the national park for preservation as wilderness, and any designation of any such area as a wilderness shall be accomplished in accordance with said section 1132(c) and (d) of this title.
