We have redesigned the cover ofthis year's publication to convey the Bureau's complex and varied mission using visual imagery. The 80-plus tables inside the document tell the story ofthe BLM's mission, programs, and accomplishments using numerical data and detailed footnotes. This year's edition includes one new table: Table 1-3, Mineral and Surface Acres Administered by the Bureau ofLand Management. This table replaces last year's Table 1-3, U.S. General Services Administration Table: Comparison ofFederally Owned Land with Total Acreage by State. Also, included are four new maps: Public Lands On-Shore Federal and Indian Minerals in Lands ofthe U.S., Responsibilities ofBLM - Lower 48 States; Public Lands On-Shore Federal and Indian Minerals in Lands ofthe U.S., Responsibilities ofBLM - Alaska; Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act Acquisitions - Round 1: Environmentally Sensitive Land Acquisitions; and the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act Acquisitions - Round 2: Environmentally Sensitive Land Acquisitions. Public LandStatistics is available on the Internet. Please visit our national homepage at: http://www.blm.gov/nhp/browse.htm Note that the data present in the 2001 Public Land Statistics tables may not exactly match the BLM data in other publications covering Fiscal Year 2001 operations and accomplishments. This occurs because the databases that provide table data are not static; they are constantly being updated to provide the latest information, sometimes many months after the end ofthe fiscal year. We have presented the most current data available in this edition ofPublic LandStatistics. Your feedback and suggestions are always appreciated. We have included a comment card that you can cut out ofthe document, fold, and mail to our Headquarter Office. Any comments you provide will be used to help make Public LandStatistics as responsive to your needs as possible. We remain committed to publishing a Public LandStatistics each year that is timely, complete, and as helpful as possible to our readers. Vll Vlll
