American Heritage Rivers, Amending Executive Order 13061 and 13080
Headline: Expands American Heritage River Designations Up to 20
What it does: The order amends prior executive orders to allow the President to designate up to 20 American Heritage Rivers.
- Allows up to 20 rivers to be designated as American Heritage Rivers.
- Changes wording in two earlier executive orders, replacing "ten" with "up to 20".
Summary
This order increases how many rivers the President may name as American Heritage Rivers by changing language in two earlier orders. It replaces the word "ten" with "up to 20" in specified sections of Executive Orders 13061 and 13080. The change affects the President's authority to designate rivers under the American Heritage Rivers program. It matters because more rivers may now be eligible for that federal designation.
