Information Bulletin:

This information bulletin announces the availability of the Leases and Claims Data Standard Version 3.0.

This dataset is a spatial representation of Leases and Claims (LSE_CLM). It is a portion of the total encumbrance data category that includes information about entities, rights, and restrictions relating to the use of Federal minerals. All Bureau of Land Management (BLM) planning and management actions must identify any encumbrances on the land. The dataset includes both existing and proposed Leases and Claims. Leases and Claims are intersected with other resources to determine impact and/or feasibility of the proposed action.

The following changes were applied:

  • Merged LSE_CLM_POLY and LSE_CLM_P_POLY into a single feature class LSE_CLM_POLY.
  • The following field names were changed to match Mineral & Land Records System (MLRS) names: LSE_CLM_NM changed to CSE_NM, LSE_CLM_TP changed to BLM_PROD, COMMODITY changed to: CMMDTY, RGT_HOLDER_NM changed to CUST_NM, CASEFILE changed to: LEG_CSE_NR, CASETP changed to: CSE_TYPE_NR, MLRS_CASE_DISP changed to: CSE_DISP, CSE_NR changed to required. Replaced the STATUS_P field with the field: MLRS_CASE_DISP and new domain.
  • Changed MLRS Case Number (CSE_NR) field to required.
  • Modified publication dataset requirements for data published to the web.
  • Increased the size of the CSE_NM field to 100.
