The request includes an increase of $19 million dedicated to plans, updating the BLMs land-us- e and to conduct environmental reviews of uses that require the Bureaus authorization. BLM officials say these steps will ensure the agency can meet the challenge of conserving open space in an era of growth, and will help BLM meet its legal obligations to make land-us- e decisions based on sound and current information.
