H-8120-1 - GUIDELINES FOR CONDUCTING TRIBAL CONSULTATION – (Public)
Federal Land Policy and Management Act, Title II–
• Directs the preparation and continuing maintenance of an
inventory of the public lands, their resources, and other
values, open to participation of the public and other
governments.
• Directs that land use plans be developed, maintained, and
revised (as needed), open to participation of the public and
other governments and in coordination with the policies of
approved tribal land resource management programs.
• Provides through planning a means to anticipate conflicts
between proposed land uses and tribal issues and concerns,
to reduce the number and severity of use conflicts at the
implementation stage.
• Provides for continuing coordination with Indian tribes
regarding the consistency of land use plans, guidelines, and
rules and regulations on public land and tribal land.

. 7. Provisions of Title II of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act.
IG
In developing Resource Management Plans (RMP) and plan amendments, BLM managers
are required to involve others, including Indian tribes, at five specific points: (1)
identification of issues; (2) review of proposed planning criteria; (3) review of the draft
Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (RMP/EIS); (4) review
of the final RMP/EIS; and (5) notice of any changes as a result of protests.
Broad information, regarding the general nature of traditional values and the general
location of culturally significant traditional places, should be elicited in early planning
stages. Going into consultation with knowledge about a group's historic relationship with
the land and resources should enable managers to direct their questions in a sensitive and
effective way.
Although consultation at the land use planning level should seek as much information as
tribes are willing to share with BLM, tribes often withhold specific information unless or
until there is a direct threat to traditional values and culturally significant places. Before
making project-specific decisions, managers may need to provide additional opportunities
for Native Americans to identify their specific concerns at the land use action level.
