The Secretary of the Interior is authorized by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 to develop land-and resource-management plans to accommodate multiple uses. Environmental impacts must be accounted for in these plans as specified in Section 202 of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as well as in four new areas: (1) protection of environmental values, (2) designation and protection of areas of critical concern, (3) identification and allocation of wilderness areas, and (4) immediate attention to the California Desert. The changes that FLPMA makes in the environmental-planning process are outlined in the context of recommendations made by the Public Land Law Review Commission; these were generally incorporated into FLPMA.
