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 multiple-use mission is to sustain the health,
diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year
2012, activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the States where the activities
occurred. In addition, public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than
500,000 jobs.
