"The Interior Department on Thursday reversed actions taken by former Interior Secretary David Bernhardt governing spending of Land and Water Conservation Fund revenues.
Under the action by the Biden administration, Interior said in a news release that it was “rescinding Trump administration policies that significantly undermined the landmark conservation program.”
Thursday’s action, in the form of a secretarial order signed by Acting Interior Secretary Scott de la Vega, revokes a Nov. 9 order by Bernhardt. Interior said in Thursday’s release that Bernhardt’s order “unilaterally imposed new restrictions to inhibit the availability of LWCF funding for federal land and water acquisitions.”"
