Sec. 201. (a) The Secretary shall prepare and 

 maintain on a continuing basis an inventory of aU

 viously have been classified, withdrawn, set Eiside, 

 or otherwise designated for one or more uses. 



(b) In the development and revision of land use 

 plans, the Secretary of Agriculture shall coordi- 

 nate land use plans for lands in the National Forest

 plans, the Secretary shall —

 tection of areas of critical environmental con- 

 cern; 



(4) rely, to the extent it is available, on the 

 inventory of the public lands, their resources, 

 and other values ; 



(5) consider present and potential uses of the 

 public lands; 



(6) consider the relative scarcity of the values 

 involved and the availability of alternative 

 means (including recycling) and sites for reali- 

 zation of those values; 



(7) weigh long-term benefits to the public 

 against short-term benefits; 



(8) provide for compliance with applicable 

 pollution control laws, including State and Fed- 

 eral air, water, noise, or other pollution standards

 policies of approved State and tribal land re- 

 source management programs. In implementing 

 this directive, the Secretary shall, to the extent 

 he finds practical, keeps appraised of State, 

 local, and tribal land use plans; assure that con- 

 sideration is given to those State, local, and tribal 

 plans that are germane in the development 

 of land use plans for public lands ; assist In re- 

 solving, to the extent practical, inconsistencies 

 between Federal and non-Federal Government 

 plans, and shall provide for meaningful public 

 involvement of State and local government offi- 

 cials, both elected and appointed, in the develop- 

 ment of land use programs, land use regulations, 

 and land use decisions for public lands, includ- 

 ing early public notice of proposed decisions 

 which may have a significant impact on non- 

 Federal lands. Such officials in each State are 

 authorized to furnish advice to the Secretary 

 with respect to the development and revision of 

 land use plans, land use guidelines, land use rules, 

 and land use regulations for the public lands 

 within such State and with respect to such other 

 land use matters as may be referred to them by 

 him. Land use plans of the Secretary under this 

 section shall be consistent with State and local 

 plans to the maximum extent he finds consistent 

 with Federal law and the purposes of this Act.
