CED-81-135 1 (1981-09-11)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabcmw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE U,S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To Senator Ted Stevens Federal Land Acquisition And Management Practices The National Park Service, Department of the Interior, followed a general practice of acquiring outright owner- ship of all lands in the National Park System. However, in April 1979, the Service revised its land acquisition pol- icy to give greater consideration to protecting areas through the use of easements, zoning, and cooperative agreements with State and local governments. Although some progress has been made in using alternatives, the Park Service continues to purchase almost all land outright. GAO makes several recommendations the National Park Service should take to improve its land management and acquisition practices. In February 1981 the President proposed a moratorium on Federal land acquisition and proposed the use of land acquisition funds for repairing and improving facilities in the National Park System. The President also stated that postponing Federal land acquisition will allow for a thoughtful policy review of existing park legislation. Interior has established a Lands Policy Work Group to develop a clear and positive national policy outlining the Federal role in open space conservation. , &D Stlt d M U 0 CED-81-135 e U14 5'M SEPTEMBER 11, 1981
