Congress Blocks New Federal Land Management Plan for Buffalo Area.

Congress is moving to cancel a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regarding the Resource Management Plan for the Buffalo Field Office. If successful, the BLM's new plan, which dictates how federal lands are used (e.g., for energy development, grazing, or recreation), will be voided. This action ensures that the previous rules governing the use of these public lands remain in effect, directly impacting local industries and land users.
