View Committee

Amends a phrase in the Federal Land Policy and Management Act to change how lands described as "lands within National Forests" are referenced in the statute, replacing that phrase with new language (text not shown) to address eligibility of national grasslands for grazing leases and permits. The amendment also clarifies that, except for the amended provision, other parts of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act and certain related statutes continue to apply to national grasslands the same way they currently do.
