SUNSET CRATER VOLCANO NATIONAL MONUMENT
BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT
JANUARY 31, 2022.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. MANCHIN, from the Committee on Energy and National
Resources, submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany S. 1317]
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (S. 1317), to modify the boundary of the Sunset
Crater Volcano National Monument in the State of Arizona, 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. 1317 is to modify the boundary of the Sunset
Crater Volcano National Monument in the State of Arizona.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
President Hoover issued a proclamation on May 26, 1930 estab-
lishing Sunset Crater National Monument in order to protect the
area's unique geologic formations. The monument, created from
and surrounded by the Coconino National Forest in Arizona, was
administered by the United States Forest Service for three years
until it was transferred to the National Park Service in 1933. In
1990, with the passage of Public Law 101-612, the monument was
redesignated as Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument.
Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument protects approxi-
mately 3,040 acres and contains the youngest, least-eroded cinder
cone in the San Francisco Volcanic Field at the site of the Colorado
Plateau's most recent volcanic eruption which occurred 900 years
ago. This dormant volcano, and its relatively undeveloped land-
scape, provide a unique opportunity to study plant succession and
ecological change in an arid volcanic landscape.
