BLM RESPONDS: BLM is pushing back on claims that its proposed public lands rule aimed at prioritizing land conservation and restoration is a violation of federal law that would substantially harm resource development in large swaths of the country—seeking to put to rest new complaints from a cohort of Western states and Alaska who have already said they are prepared to challenge the agency’s proposal in court.
“The proposed Public Lands Rule would not change that or create new laws; it is consistent with the current laws that apply to BLM’s management of public lands,” the spokesman said.In the view of Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, who spoke to Breanne in an interview last week, it is Congress—not a federal agency—that must amend and approve any changes or updates.
Next steps: BLM must first review and conduct a public comment analysis on the more than 215,000 comments submitted during the 75-day window. It will then either modify or finalize the proposed rule—clearing the way for states to file an official lawsuit.
