What Does FLPMA Stand For?

FLPMA stands for Federal Land Policy And Management Act

The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) is a United States federal law enacted in 1976 that provides the framework for the administration, management, and conservation of public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It aims to ensure that these lands are used sustainably and for multiple purposes, including recreation, resource extraction, and conservation. FLPMA establishes guidelines for land use planning, public involvement, and environmental protection, promoting a balanced approach to land use that considers the needs of both current and future generations.
