<br />Planning Action 1:
<br />Identify Issues
<br />
<br />t:62t;
<br />
<br />The fir~t acti?n se!~ the tone and scope for the entire planning proc-
<br />ess. It IS the IdentifIcation of issues or land use problems that need
<br />to be solved. There is a common saying, "If it isn't broken don't
<br />fix it. T' Although issue identification is a bit more complexT it f~llows
<br />that basic philosophy. This issue-oriented approach eliminates
<br />needless data gathering and analysis of resourCes by focusing on
<br />expected conflicts or controversies.

<br />To be more specific, planning issues are concerns or controver-
<br />sies about existing and potential land and resource allocations.
<br />levels of resource use, production, and protection; and related
<br />management practices. These issues are derived from what BlM
<br />managers, the public, industry, other Federal agencies, State and
<br />local governments, and Indian tribes see as concerns, problems,
<br />or needs.

<br />The BLM manager gathers, screens and evaluates ideas from all
<br />t~e~e sources and from BlM staffs. The manager then combines
<br />similar or related concerns into a list of major issues and sum-
<br />marizes them to guide the rest of the planning process. Many
<br />managers find It helpful to the public and useful to themselves to
<br />translate these issues into specific resource planning questions.
