DECLARATION OF POLICY 



Sec. 102. (a) The Congress declares that it is the 

 policy of the United States that — 



(1) the public lands be retained in Federal 

 ownership, unless as a result of the land use 

 planning procedure provided for in this Act, it 

 is determined that disposal of a particular parcel 

 will serve the national interest; 



(2) the national interest will be best realized 

 if the public lands and their resources are peri- 

 odically and systematically inventoried and their 

 present and future use is projected through a 

 land use planning process coordinated with other 

 Federal and State planning efforts: 



(3) public lands not previously designated for 

 any specific use and all existing classifications 

 of public lands that were effected by executive 

 action or statute before the date of enactment 

 of this Act be reviewed in accordance with the 

 provisions of this Act; 



(4) the Congress exercise its constitutional au- 

 thority to withdraw or otherwise designate or 

 dedicate Federal lands for specified purposes and 

 that Congress delineate the extent to which the 

 Executive may withdraw lands without legisla- 

 tive action; 



(5) in administering public land statutes and 

 exercising discretionary authority granted by 

 them, the Secretary be required to establish com- 

 prehensive rules and regulations after consid- 

 ering the views of the general public; and to 

 structure adjudication procedures to assure ade- 

 quate third party participation, objective admin- 

 istrative review of initial decisions, and expedi- 

 tious decisionmaking; 



(6) judicial review of public land adjudication 

 decisions be provided by law; 



'7) goals and objectives be established by law 

 as guidelines for public land use planning, and 

 that management be on the basis of multiple use 

 and sustained yield unless otherwise specified 

 bylaw; 



(8) the public lands be managed in a manner 

 that will protect the quality of scientific, scenic, 

 historical, ecological, environmental, air and 

 atmospheric, water resource, and archeological 

 values; that, where aopropriate, will preserve 

 and protect certain public lands in their natural 

 condition; that will provide food and habitat 

 for fish and wildlife and domestic animals; and 

 that will provide for outdoor recreation and hu- 

 man occupancy and use; 



(9) the United States receive fair market 

 value of the use of the public lands and their 

 resources unless otherwise provided for by 

 statute; 



(10) uniform procedures for any disposal of 

 public land, acquisition of non-F'ederal land for 

 public purposes, and the exchange of such lands 

 be established by statute, requiring each dis- 

 posal, acquisition, and exchange to be consis- 

 tent with the prescribed mission of the depart- 

 ment or agency involved, and reserving to the 

 Congress review of disposals in excess of a spec- 

 ified acreage; 



(11) regulations and plans for the protection 

 of public land areas of critical environmental 

 concern be promptly developed; 



(12) the public lands be managed in a man- 

 ner which recognizes the Nation's need for 

 domestic sources of minerals, food, timber, and 

 fiber from the public lands including implemen- 

 tation of the Mining and Minerals PoUcy Act 

 of 1970 (84 Stat. 1876, 30 U.S.C. 21a) as it per- 

 tains to the public lands; and 



(13) the Federal Government should, on a 

 basis equitable to both the Federal and local 

 taxpayer, provide for payments to compensate
