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 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in
receipts from activities occurring on public lands.
