This bill would require the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw two government documents related to grizzly bear management. The first document is a proposed rule from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that would establish a grizzly bear population in the North Cascades Ecosystem in Washington State, which was published in September 2023. The second is a draft environmental impact statement for a grizzly bear restoration plan, also published in September 2023, being prepared jointly by the National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service. By withdrawing these documents, the bill would effectively stop the federal government from moving forward with these grizzly bear restoration efforts in Washington State. The bill does not authorize any funding or establish a timeline beyond requiring immediate withdrawal of the documents.
