Book excerpt: The 110th Congress, the Administration, and the courts are considering many issues related to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands and the Forest Service (FS) national forests. [...] Background and Analysis The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Department of the Interior (DOI) and the Forest Service (FS) in the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) manage 449 million acres of land, more than two-thirds of the land owned by the federal government and one-fifth of the total U. S. land area. [...] Management direction for the national forests, first enacted in 1897 and expanded in 1960, identifies the purposes for which the lands are to be managed - including timber, grazing, recreation, wildlife and fish, and water - and directs "harmonious and coordinated management" to provide for multiple uses and sustained yields of the many resources found in the national forests. [...] A claim gives the holder the right to develop the minerals and apply for a patent to obtain full title of the land and minerals. [...] For instance, at a hearing on S. 1139, the Acting Director of the BLM testified that DOI supported the bill as a way to provide legislative support and direction to the BLM and to formalize and strengthen its conservation system within the context of the agency's multiple-use mission.18 Other witnesses expressed opposition to the legislation, for instance, on the assertion 16 DOI/BLM, Budget Justi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing ecological challenges ranging from wildland fires to climate change have revived interest in moving the Dept. of Agriculture's (USDA) Forest Service into the Dept. of the Interior. The Forest Service manages almost a quarter of the nation's lands but is the only major land mgmt. agency outside Interior. This is a report on the potential effects of moving the Forest Service into Interior and creating a new bureau equal to Interior's other bureaus, such as the Bureau of Land Mgmt. (BLM). This report identifies factors that should be considered if such a move were legislated and mgmt. practices that could facilitate a move. Nazzaro analyzed five historical proposals to reorganize fed. land mgmt. agencies. Illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the possibility of consolidating the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) and the Forest Service's forestry functions, focusing on: (1) BLM and the Forest Service's prior and ongoing reorganization efforts; and (2) the potential legal constraints affecting consolidation. GAO found that: (1) declining timber sales and tightening budgetary constraints have led land management agencies such as BLM and the Forest Service to rethink their organizational structures and relationships with one another; (2) BLM and the Forest Service are attempting to refocus their existing programs and activities to meet the current challenges they face as well as to prepare for initiatives they may undertake in the future; (3) many unresolved issues in the Pacific Northwest affect the future structure and organization of BLM and the Forest Service in western Oregon; (4) uncertainties about the future levels of timber harvests and the effects of reinventing government make it extremely difficult to determine how best to reorganize forestry functions; and (5) an agency-by-agency approach to downsizing and restructuring may not have the potential to achieve the efficiencies that could be derived through a collaborative federal approach to land management.

[...] In January 2009, the U. S.

Book excerpt: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Department of the Interior (Interior) and the Forest Service in the Department of Agriculture (USDA) manage millions of acres of public land. To enhance land management and fulfill other public objectives, they acquire and dispose of land using exchanges-trading federal lands for lands owned by willing private entities, individuals, or state or local governments. GAO and others have raised concerns about whether the public interest has always been served in these land exchanges. GAO was asked to (1) analyze the number, trends, and characteristics of BLM and Forest Service land exchanges and (2) determine the effectiveness of agency actions to address previously identified key problems. GAO interviewed and surveyed agency officials, analyzed agency data on recent exchanges, and reviewed documents on a nongeneralizable sample of 31 land exchanges representing at least 85 percent of the acres that agencies acquired, or plan to acquire, during the time of GAO's review. GAO is making recommendations to, among other things, strengthen
