SEC. 2101. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--

footprint megatrackways was discovered in the Robledo Mountains
in southern New Mexico;
(2) the trackways contain footprints of numerous
amphibians, reptiles, and insects (including previously unknown
species), plants, and petrified wood dating back approximately
280,000,000 years, which collectively provide new opportunities
to understand animal behaviors and environments from a time
predating the dinosaurs;
(3) title III of Public Law 101-578 (104 Stat. 2860)--
(A) provided interim protection for the site at
which the trackways were discovered; and
(B) directed the Secretary of the Interior to--
(i) prepare a study assessing the
significance of the site; and
(ii) based on the study, provide
recommendations for protection of the
paleontological resources at the site;
(4) the Bureau of Land Management completed the Paleozoic
Trackways Scientific Study Report in 1994, which characterized
the site as containing ``the most scientifically significant
Early Permian tracksites'' in the world;
(5) despite the conclusion of the study and the
recommendations for protection, the site remains unprotected
and many irreplaceable trackways specimens have been lost to
vandalism or theft; and
(6) designation of the trackways site as a National
Monument would protect the unique fossil resources for present
and future generations while allowing for public education and
continued scientific research opportunities.
