SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 13792 of April 26, 2017 (82 
FR 20429, May 1, 2017), directs the Secretary of the Interior to review 
certain National Monuments designated or expanded under the Antiquities 
Act of 1906, 54 U.S.C. 320301-320303 (Act). Specifically, Section 2 of 
the Executive Order directs the Secretary to conduct a review of all 
Presidential designations or expansions of designations under the 
Antiquities Act made since January 1, 1996, where the designation 
covers more than 100,000 acres, where the designation after expansion 
covers more than 100,000 acres, or where the Secretary determines that 
the designation or expansion was made without adequate public outreach 
and coordination with relevant stakeholders, to determine whether each 
designation or expansion conforms to the policy set forth in section 1 
of the order. Among other provisions, Section 1 states that 
designations should reflect the Act's ``requirements and original 
objectives'' and ``appropriately balance the protection of landmarks, 
structures, and objects against the appropriate use of Federal lands 
and the effects on surrounding lands and communities.'' 82 FR 20429 
(May 1, 2017).
    In making the requisite determinations, the Secretary is directed 
to consider:
    (i) The requirements and original objectives of the Act, including 
the Act's requirement that reservations of land not exceed ``the 
smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the 
objects to be protected'';
    (ii) whether designated lands are appropriately classified under 
the Act as ``historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, 
[or] other objects of historic or scientific interest'';
    (iii) the effects of a designation on the available uses of 
designated Federal lands, including consideration of the multiple-use 
policy of section 102(a)(7) of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
Act (43 U.S.C. 1701(a)(7)), as well as the effects on the available 
uses of Federal lands beyond the monument boundaries;
    (iv) the effects of a designation on the use and enjoyment of non-
Federal lands within or beyond monument boundaries;
    (v) concerns of State, tribal, and local governments affected by a 
designation, including the economic development and fiscal condition of 
affected States, tribes, and localities;
    (vi) the availability of Federal resources to properly manage 
designated areas; and
    (vii) such other factors as the Secretary deems appropriate. 82 FR 
20429-20430 (May 1, 2017).
    The National Monuments being initially reviewed are listed in the 
following tables.
