To authorize appropriations for programs, functions, and activities of the Bureau of Land Management for fiscal years 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995; to improve the management of the public lands; and for other purposes.

Summary

Authorizes appropriations for the programs, functions, and activities of the Bureau of Land Management for FY 1992 through 1995. Amends the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 to add riparian areas as a priority for the Secretary of the Interior's inventory of all public lands and their resource and other values. Provides for congressional disapproval of certain decisions by the Secretary to implement land use plans by the enactment of a joint (currently, concurrent) resolution. Requires that land use plans be developed for all public lands outside Alaska no later than January 1, 1997, and for all public lands no later than January 1, 1999. Requires that such plans be revised at least every 15 years. Requires the Secretary, in the development and revision of land use plans, to: (1) evaluate the feasibility of measures, consistent with the principles of multiple use and sustained yield, that would enhance the extent to which the public lands can support increases in the numbers and types of plant communities and fish and wildlife populations located on or supported by such lands; (2) give priority to identification, protection, and enhancement of the ecological, environmental, fish and wildlife, and other resources and values of riparian areas; and (3) include recreational and other nonconsumptive uses when considering present and potential uses of the public lands. Changes the title of the Associate Director of the Bureau of Land Management to Deputy Director. Adds the positions of State Directors of the Bureau which the Secretary may appoint as necessary. Prohibits, after May 1, 1989, the appointment of any person as Deputy Director of the Bureau or as an Assistant Director or State Director who is not at the time of appointment either a career appointee or in the competitive service. Increases the fine for violation of any regulation issued by the Secretary to implement the provisions of the Act with respect to the management, use, and protection of public lands from a maximum of $1,000 to a maximum of $10,000. Requires the Secretary in managing the public lands: (1) to minimize adverse environmental impacts on such lands and their resources resulting from use, occupancy, or development; and (2) to prevent impairment or derogation of the resources and values of conservation system units. Adds protection of environmental quality, the management and enhancement of fish and wildlife populations and habitat, and outdoor recreation as citizens' concerns to be represented through appointments to the Secretary's advisory councils. Requires the provision of an opportunity for interested members of the public to suggest persons for appointment to such councils. Requires the Secretary, in promulgating rules and regulations with respect to the public lands, to: (1) provide for appropriate management of areas of critical environmental concern; and (2) provide an opportunity for the public to propose specific areas for designation as areas of critical environmental concern. Changes the dates on which the Secretary must submit a request for the authorization of appropriations for all programs, functions, and activities of the Bureau to January 1, 1993, and January 1 of each second odd-numbered year thereafter. (Current law requires such requests beginning May 15, 1977, and not later than May 15 of each second even numbered year thereafter.) Prohibits funds that are appropriated for purposes of land acquisition from being expended for any other purpose. Prohibits subleasing with regard to the grazing on public lands or National Forest lands covered by a grazing permit of domestic livestock which are not both owned and controlled by the holder of the grazing permit. Provides penalties for a violation of such prohibition. Provides that no regulation shall impose liability without fault with respect to a right-of-way granted, issued, or renewed under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 to a nonprofit entity or an entity qualified for financing under the Rural Electrication Act of 1936 if such entity uses such right-of-way for the delivery of electricity to parties having an equity interest in such entity. Authorizes the sale of public lands in excess of 2,500 acres unless the Congress enacts a joint (currently, concurrent) resolution disapproving such sale.
