Proposed Grazing Rule Announced

The Department of the Interior and its Bureau of Land Management today released details of a proposed grazing rule that would improve grazing management and help continue public lands ranching in the rural West. The proposed rule, announced by Interior Secretary Gale Norton in a speech in New Mexico, recognizes the economic and social benefits of public lands ranching, as well as its preservation of open space in the rapidly growing West. The BLM will publish the proposed rule in the Federal Register on December 8.
