The Order required agencies to report to the President within 1 year addressing changes
needed to accommodate access and use of Indian sacred sites on Federal lands, or changes
needed to avoid adversely affecting the physical integrity of sacred sites. The Order also
required agencies to address in their report the procedures implemented or proposed, "to
facilitate consultation with appropriate Indian tribes and religious leaders and the
expeditious resolution of disputes relating to agency action on Federal lands that may
adversely affect access to, ceremonial use of, or the physical integrity of sacred sites."
The BLM reported that no statutory or administrative changes are needed, and provided
copies of Manual Section 8160 (1990) and Manual Handbook H-8160-1 (1994) as its
