Shooting on Public Land
How Can I Protect My Ability to Shoot on
Public Lands?
Shooting and other activities on public
lands are determined through Land Use Plans.
All the federal agencies use a
land use planning process to assess public
interest in a particular activity, and
analyze whether a particular activity is
suitable for a particular area, and does
not violate the National Environmental
Policy Act.
The BLM and Forest Service are currently
developing land use plans. The BLM uses a
multi-step process when developing a LUP.
Some of the steps may occur concurrently.
Some situations may require the manager to
supplement previous work as additional information
becomes available. These steps have been
fully integrated with the NEPA process and
the Council on Environmental Quality CEQ
guidelines.
The public is strongly urged to participate
in public land planning efforts, your comments
and input is important. Check the BLM and Forest Service websites
for ongoing planning efforts and how you
can get involved.
