Phillips, 83 will receive lieu in of taxes from $270,663 the federal government, says Manuel Lujan, secretary of the interior. The annual payment, made by the Bureau of Land Management, is designed to help offset the loss of revenues caused by federal land located within the countys jurisdiction. "These payments help local governments provide such vital services as fire and police protection, search and rescue operations, and road construction, said a spokesman for the BLM. The BLM administers the program because it is the largest single federal agency. Payments are made for federal lands owned or managed by the BLM, the forest service, the national park service, the fish and wildlife service, federal water projects, and some military installations. The money is in addition to revenues from oil and gas leases and the sales of minerals, timber, and other materials and products derived from public lands, which the federal government also shares with state and local governments. With the exception of Rhode Island, all states in the union plus Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands will receive such funds this year. Utah ranks third in the country in the amount of money it receives, behind New Mexico and California.
