Appendix A
Statement of Tasks Agreed on by the Bureau of Land
Management, the Forest Service, and the National
Academy of Sciences
The Committee is established to conduct a study on the manner
by which oil and gas resources are considered in land use planning by the
Forest Service (FS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), including
impacts of oil and gas exploration and development and the extent to which
the consequences of oil and gas development can be analyzed, or reasonably
foreseen, during the land use planning stage prior to actual lease issuance.
The Committee will conduct a study of:
current BLM and FS land use planning direction as it relates to oil
and gas leasing;
· the interrelation between oil and gas leasing decisions and other
resource planning decisions;
· impacts of oil and gas exploration and development on wildlife and
other resource values;
· whether lease stipulations presently in use are largely successful
in resolving potential resource value conflicts (as amended by a letter of
Frank Press, October 3, 1988~.
