The Department of the Interior continues to seek public input on a proposal to update livestock grazing management on public lands.
The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) mid-May proposal to revise regulations would give ranchers more flexibility, improve rangeland health and support rural communities, the Interior said. The rule proposes streamlining grazing administration and expanding rangeland health standards.
Comments on the rule are due by July 13 and can be submitted at tinyurl.com/3pr7u3fe. Earlier in May, BLM also rescinded the Conservation and Landscape Health Rule, also known as the Public Lands Rule, which went into effect June 11.
BLM said the action restores balance to federal management under multiple use and sustained yield.
