§402f — Title 16 Conservation | U.S. Code

Summary

The President can add specific parcels of land in Utah to Bryce Canyon National Park after both the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture jointly recommend it. The purpose is to protect the park’s scenic areas and to finish out its boundary. The lands named are described by section, township, range, and lot in the Salt Lake meridian (including parcels in township 36 south, range 3 west; township 37 south, range 3 west; an unsurveyed township 36 south, range 4 west; and township 39 south, range 4 west). Any land added this way becomes part of the park and follows park laws and rules. Valid existing claims on those lands remain unchanged. Stockmen may continue to drive their animals over areas that are already covered by an existing stock driveway withdrawal.
