The United States Department of the Interior's own Public Land Order withdrawing federal lands near Chaco Canyon from mineral leasing, 2023, is a primary government instrument, confirmed against the Bureau of Land Management's own record of the order and its roughly 336,000 acre, ten mile buffer. Its strength is that it is the executive order itself, not a secondary account of the policy. Its limit is the ordinary one for any single administrative order: it states the withdrawal as of 2023 and does not itself settle whether a later administration might revisit it, which government policy documents of this kind are always subject to.
