The laud use planning, management, and control area is
concerned with planning for the use of lands, regardless of
ownership, and fostering better management of the Nation's land
and related resources. Planning for the use of lands includes
those activities which are directed to: the future use of
Federal lands; encouraging and assisting State, regional, and
local governmental and special-use jurisdictions in planning for
the use of lands within their jurisdictions; and planning for
functional actitities which have significant impacts on the
future uses of land or related resources and are accomplished
with Federal assistance. Issues meriting priority attention
include: (1) Are existing land planning programs adequate or is
there a need for a national land use policy and program? (2) Are
Federal lands and related resources being effectively managed on
a multiple-use basis with adequate consideration to competing
needs? (3) How effective are Federal programs designed to
promote the development, rehabilitation, conservation, and
preservation of nonpublic lands and related resources? (4) Are
Federal programs and activities effective in meeting shortages
of outdoor recreation? (5) Are federally owned and federally
supported recreation areas being properly developed, managed,
and maintained? and (6) What are the effects of tax policies on
land use? (SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaagyx0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
