The Bureau of Land Management is adjusting its approach to updating the Grazing Rule in order to best achieve program efficiencies and outcomes for rangeland health. In the near term, the Bureau will shift its focus from advancing a rulemaking to considering updates to policy and guidance with the goal to help deliver much needed administrative improvements and inform any future rulemaking efforts. So, although the rulemaking process to update the Grazing Regulations has been paused, there is still tremendous ability to continue and expand on the current beneficial efforts such as Outcome Based Grazing and Flexibility in Grazing Authorizations, and Targeted and Prescribed Grazing. All of these current efforts are allowed under the 1995 Grazing Regulations, which are our current operative regulations and will continue to be in place until revised. So, let’s continue our great work together, and be ready to make the best regulations possible when they are able to be unpaused!
The Public Lands rule (conservation / leasing) is still going forward… Editor
