What US Federal Land Policy and Management Act (43 USC 1701 et seq.): Retention Policy, Multiple Use and Sustained Yield, Land Use Plans and Enforcement requires
The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), codified at 43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq., is the organic statute for the public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management within the Department of the Interior. Section 1701(a) declares the policy of the United States, including that the public lands be retained in Federal ownership unless, as a result of the land use planning procedure provided for in the Act, it is determined that disposal of a particular parcel will serve the national interest; that the public lands be periodically and systematically inventoried and their present and future use projected through a land use planning process; that goals and objectives be established by law as guidelines for public land use planning and that management be on the basis of multiple use and sustained yield unless otherwise specified by law; and that the United States receive fair market value of the use of the public lands and their resources unless otherwise provided for by statute. Section 1712 requires the Secretary to develop, maintain and, when appropriate, revise land use plans that govern the use of the public lands. Section 1732 governs the management of the use, occupancy and development of the public lands in accordance with the land use plans and on the multiple-use and sustained-yield basis, and requires the Secretary to take action to prevent unnecessary or undue degradation of the lands. Section 1733 confers enforcement authority, including the power to issue regulations the violation of which is punishable, and to enforce the Act against unauthorized use. The Act is the legal foundation on which roughly one-eighth of the land area of the United States is inventoried, planned, managed for multiple use and protected from undue degradation.
