The BLM Manual

What is the BLM Manual? The Manual contains BLM policy and program direction. It provides policy, procedures, and instructions to manage programs. Each Handbook is controlled by a Manual Section which sets out the basic authority for performing tasks and states who bears the ultimate responsibility for seeing that these tasks are accomplished.
