Division of Decision Support, Planning, and NEPA (HQ-210)
The Focal Point of Informed Decisions for Today and Tomorrow
Responsible for about one-tenth of the nation’s land, the BLM strives to make the best decisions for America’s public lands through the principles of multiple use and sustained yield. To help BLM leaders achieve effective decisions in accordance with statutory requirements, the Division of Decision Support, Planning, and NEPA (HQ-210) develops and maintains processes that integrate the best available science, technology, and management practices into BLM decision making. Seven programs within the division provide oversight and guidance directly related to the BLM’s cornerstone legislative act— the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA)— and other laws, such as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). HQ-210 accomplishes its role through the following programs.
