BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

Report To The Chairman,


Committee On Energy And Commerce

House Of Representatives

OF THE UNITED STATES


Streamlining And Ensuring Mineral

Development Must Begin At

Local Land Management Levels


Success in streamlining and accelerating min-
eral development on Federal lands depends on
the Bureau of Land Management State Offices
ultimately responsible for the implementation
of Interior minerals policies.

GAO found that the Eastern States Office of
the Bureau of Land Management

   --has not yet effectively dealt with poten-
   tial Federal mineral trespass in the East,

   --is unable to timely issue mineral leases
   and permits, and

   --has been unable to effectively deal with
   new areas of mineral interest because of
   Department actions.


GAO makes recommendations to improve the
mineral trespass program, help relieve lease and
permit backlogs, maintain dedicated staff, and
improve headquarters communications with
State offices.
