What is BLMs responsibility for Land and Mineral Records?
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is responsible for cadastral survey, land and mineral use authorization, conveyances, and resource management of the public lands. In support of the development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, the BLM was given the lead by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB Circular A-16) for Public Land Conveyance, Federal Land Ownership Status, and Cadastral Survey. To meet these goals, the BLM is providing the public with spatial access to our land and minerals use authorization and mining claim record data.
