Technical Assistance Program
Introduction
This TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM is available to all nations of the world with an interest in the management of national energy and mineral resources. Through a variety of
arrangements the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will share its laws, regulations, manuals and handbooks, in
combination with its technical skills and experience. Direct availability of materials via this WWW
site will increase continually through time. In addition, all visitors to this site are encouraged to
inquire further to supplement this material as their needs may dictate.
Tutorials
For those interested, links are provided to two tutorials. These are
(1) Definition and
Role of U.S. Public Lands Tutorial, which discusses land (and mineral)
ownership patterns and the basic legal structure associated with
those patterns in the United States, and
(2) Energy and Minerals
Management in the U.S., which is an overview of energy and
minerals management practices in the United States. Familiarity
with these concepts is necessary to understand the context in
which energy and mineral resources are managed.
The next page provides a listing of categories of
resource management activities, ranging from cadastral survey
and land use planning to ultimate reclamation and rehabilitation
of mineral sites. You may choose one or more of these for specific
information.
You are encouraged to provide comments on the design and
utility of these site materials. In the future a questionnaire will be included to solicit your
comments, including need for specific types of additional information.
