Originally through their own initiative, and now in response to statutory mandates, the BLM and the Forest Service prepare land use plans for the lands they manage. Under the multiple-use management requirements of the FLPMA and the NF~fA, these plans address the full panoply of federal land uses, including both economic uses (e.g., mineral development, timber production, livestock grazing, and ski resorts and other recreational facilities)

From page 12... ...
Unlike most surface uses and even some mineral development such as coal mining, the volume and quality of the oil or gas resource are seldom known at the time land use planning is conducted, making projections of exploration and development activity levels and environmental impacts more difficult and less reliable. Even if all the land that might be identified for leasing in the planning process is leased during the plan s life, to attempt to identify during planning.

From page 13... ...
The planning and ana~s'is are conducted at the resource disposal (leasing, sale,.or rental) stage (e.g., :regional coal lease sales, environmental impact statements, timber sale plans,.

Stated more simply, the questions concern when and how the two land management agencies should be required to say yes or lose the right to say no to oil and gas exploration and development based on environmental concerns. This report provides recommendations for how oil and gas exploration and development should be further integrated with the federal land use planning process and where in the subsequent leasing and management process further environmentally related analysis and decisions should be made.

Particular areas where conflicts between oil and gas exploration and development are most intense, and the reasons those areas are the source of such conflict, are the subject of Chapter 7. The final chapter, Chapter 8, presents the committee's conclusions and recommendations for "changes in agency procedures and regulations, and statutory requirements, for both the planning process and the oil and gas leasing and management process.
