In The Spotlight 

Correction to Media "Disinformation"

Media reports on January 1, 2009, have incorrectly characterized what actions BLM Utah has considered following its December 19 oil and gas lease sale, at which an individual admitted to bidding on parcels with no intent to fulfill his obligations to compensate the Federal government for the parcels.

BLM Utah has not considered it an option to hold another lease sale prior to the regular quarterly sale in March 2009. No plans were ever made to hold an "out of cycle" lease sale in January, as reported by the media. There is an ongoing investigation regarding the December lease sale and the fraudulent bids.

BLM Utah Editorials

The BLM manages nearly 22.9 million acres of public lands in Utah, representing about 42 percent of the state. Located mostly in western and southeastern Utah, these lands are varied, ranging from rolling uplands to sprawling desert lowlands. Utah’s public lands feature some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, from the snow-capped peaks of remote mountain ranges to colorful red-rock canyons.

The BLM’s first national monument is also located on public lands in Utah. Situated in beautiful red-rock country, the Grand Staircase- Escalante National Monument encompasses nearly 1.9 million acres in the south-central part of the state. The area offers a unique combination of archaeological, historical, paleontological, geological, and biological resources.

BLM Utah manages public lands for a variety of uses. These lands not only provide minerals, energy, and livestock forage, but also natural, historical and cultural resources that the agency is charged with protecting. In addition, Utah’s public lands offer incomparable opportunities to experience solitude and enjoy outdoor recreation.
