Specifically, you asked us to focus on seven management programs: oil and gas, coal, rangeland, cultural resources, wilderness, recreation resources, and resource planning. As agreed with your office, this letter summarizes the process BLM uses to allocate budget and staff resources among its state offices and provides information on fiscal years 1991 and 1992 budget and staff allocations for the nine states broken down by the seven programs. As agreed with your office, we did not attempt to analyze or determine the reasonableness of the allocations. RESOURCE ALLOCATION PROCESS BLM's resource allocation process, including its budget development phase, takes place over 3 fiscal years. For example, BLM began working on its fiscal year 1992 budget in fiscal year 1990. The starting point for the development of BLM's budget and, in turn, each BLM state office's budget, is the current budget, adjusted for such things as inflation, administration priorities and initiatives, and estimated overall BLM budget growth or decrease. Over a 3- year period, this budget is reviewed and revised by numerous organizations and individuals within BLM, the Department of the Interior, and the Office of Management and Budget, as 'The states are Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. As agreed with your office, Alaska and Oregon were excluded because of unique programs in those states. GAOIRCED-92-181R BLM Resource Allocation
