## Provisions PRIA read

- Tribal rights and duties unchanged: benefit, low. The bill would not change any rights of federally recognized tribes or any U.S. obligations to them. It would preserve existing tribal legal rights tied to these lands.
- New Utah wilderness areas and limits: mixed, medium. This bill would name and map many new wilderness areas across Utah, managed by BLM under the Wilderness Act. Examples include Paria‑Hackberry (about 196,000 acres), Fiftymile Mountain (about 207,000 acres), Dirty Devil (about 245,000 acres), and a Desolation Canyon expansion (about 293,500 acres).…

The Secretary could not transfer federal mineral rights in the swap unless Utah gives the United States its mineral rights in the wilderness parcel. Exchanges wo…

- Grazing, roads, and wildlife rules: mixed, low. If your grazing permit was valid on the enactment date, you could keep grazing in the new wilderness areas, under reasonable rules. Wilderness boundaries would be set back from roads: if on one side, 300 ft from paved highways, 100 ft from other paved or high-standard dirt/gravel roads, and 30 ft f…
