handle is hein.gao/gaobabdsg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Public Rangeland Improvement-- A Slow, Costly Process In Need Of Alternate Funding Assessments by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management indicate that most of the public rangelands it manages are in an unsatisfactory con- dition and are producing less than their potential, Although the Bureau has made some progress in improving range condi- tions, it lacks consistent data showing the overall effects of its management actions. Since 1975 the Bureau has been preparing site-specific environmental impact state- ments and land use plans which have identified needed range improvements, There is a backlog of $34.7 million in range improvement projects, and the cost of addi- tional needed projects is estimated to be over $148 million. Reduced grazing fees and budget cuts, together with rising costs due to inflation, will make it difficult for the Bureau to meet the Congress' goal of making the rangelands as productive as feasible before the beginning of the next century. GAO recommends alternative ways the Bureau could make range improvements. The Congress should assess three alterna- tive funding sources for range improvements.
