This includes some 289 million acres of federally owned lands located in Alaska. In addition, the Bureau administers mining and mineral leasing on other federally owned lands, on former Federal lands where minerals have been reserved in public ownership, and on the submerged lands of the Outer Continental Shelf. The work of the Bureau produces revenue from various sources which is distributed as follows (in millions of dollars): 1962 Total receipts.. Payments to States and counties.. 1965 estimate 348 -69 For expenses necessary for protection, use, improvement, development, disposal, cadastral surveying, classification, and performance of other functions, as authorized by law, in the management of lands and their resources under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, [$44,152,500 $45,447,000. (5 U.S.C. 133a, 133y, 485; 16 U.S.C. 583, 594; 43 U.S.C. 1, 2, 54, 72, 129, 315; 50 Stat. 874; Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 1964.) 1. Lease and disposal of land and mineral resources.— Applications are acted upon for all types of land use and for lease of mineral resources, principally oil and gas. The Bureau conducts comprehensive inventory of land resources and field investigations to determine the best use of the resources and classify the lands accordingly. General information is disseminated to the public, including information contained in the land records now being modernized. 2. Management of grazing lands.-The 178 million acres of public lands available for grazing which are used by approximately 29,000 stockmen are managed and proprotection from fire, erosion, overuse, unseasonal use and tected. Proper management of these lands provides trespass, thereby perpetuating forage resources. The increase in 1965 provides for continuing resource inventories and the adjudication of grazing privileges and will give increased attention to multiple-use management of the public lands, including the management of wildlife habitat. 3. Forestry.-A total of 46 million acres of commercial forest lands and 111 million acres of woodland-type lands are managed. The 1965 program includes the sale of 1.355 billion board feet of timber for anticipated receipts of $36.4 million. The increase in 1965 will provide for increased sales, improved management, and additional reforestation. 4. Cadastral surveys. Surveys are performed to: Locate and identify legal boundaries of lands under application for lease or disposal, including submerged lands on the Outer Continental Shelf; assist in the management of forest and range lands; provide legal descriptions needed by other Federal agencies; and to permit States to obtain title to lands granted them by law. 5. Soil and moisture conservation.-Public lands in critical condition from erosion are conserved and rehabilitated and restored to productivity. Areas infested by halogeton, medusahead and other noxious weeds are treated. Cooperative programs will continue with other agencies in river basin areas. The increase in 1965 provides additional funds to rehabilitate burned-over areas. 6. Fire suppression.-Fires are fought which are on or threatening lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management. During the first 3 months of the current fiscal year, over 124,000 acres were burned and BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT-Continued General and special funds—Continued MANAGEMENT OF LANDS AND RESOURCES-continued costs of suppression approximated $2.1 million.

Maintenance of access roads.-Maintenance is provided for access roads on Coos Bay Wagon Road grant lands and on the public lands. The increase in 1965 will provide for the acceleration of repair work to restore roads to usable condition. Preventive as well as corrective maintenance will be performed. 9.
