The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the
National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers
700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to manage and conserve the
public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations under our mandate of multiple-use and
sustained yield. In Fiscal Year 2014, the BLM generated $5.2 billion in receipts from public lands.
