The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), in the  Department of the Interior (DOI), manages 245 million  acres of federal land, nearly all in the West. Under its  multiple-use mission, BLM manages lands for diverse  purposes, including livestock grazing, energy development,  recreation, and conservation. The agency also administers  onshore federal energy and mineral resources generally.

Currently, BLM is receiving appropriations for FY2024  under continuing resolutions (CRs) providing  appropriations at FY2023 levels. This is because full-year  appropriations for FY2024 have not been enacted. The most  recent CR (P.L. 118-22) provides BLM funding through  February 2, 2024, unless full-year appropriations are  enacted earlier.
