MAY 3, 2017.-Ordered to be printed
Ms. MURKOWSKI, from the Committee on Energy and Natural

REPORT
[To accompany S. 432]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (S. 432) to designate the Cerro del Yuta and Rio
San Antonio Wilderness Areas in the State of New Mexico, and for
other purposes, having considered the same, reports favorably
thereon without amendment and recommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 432 is to designate the Cerro del Yuta and Rio
San Antonio Wilderness Areas in the State of New Mexico.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
On March 25, 2013, President Obama established the Rio Grande
del Norte National Monument by Presidential Proclamation under
the authority of the Antiquities Act. The Rio Grande del Norte Na-
tional Monument lies north of Taos, on the border with Colorado.
The area includes the Cerro de la Olla, Cerro San Antonio, and the
Cerro del Yuta volcanic cones.
S. 432 would designate two wilderness areas within the Rio
Grande del Norte National Monument-the 13,420-acre Cerro del
Yuta Wilderness and the 8,120-acre Rio San Antonio Wilderness.
These areas are currently managed by the Bureau of Land Man-
agement as wilderness study areas. S. 432 would also release ap-
proximately 65 acres of land currently in wilderness study status
to multiple use.
