S. 440 would designate roughly 98,000 acres of federal land in Oregon as the Rogue Canyon Recreation Area and roughly 30,000 acres as the Molalla Recreation Area. The bill also would add about 60,000 acres of federal land in Oregon to the Wild Rogue Wilderness and permanently withdraw it from commercial timber sales. Finally, the bill would permanently withdraw about 100,000 acres of federal land in Curry County and Josephine County, Oregon, from mineral and geothermal leasing. All withdrawals would be subject to valid existing rights.
