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.
