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.
