Sec.  1610.4-4  Analysis of the management situation.



    The Field Manager, in collaboration with any cooperating agencies, 

will analyze the inventory data and other information available to 

determine the ability of the resource area to respond to identified 

issues and opportunities. The analysis of the management situation shall 

provide, consistent with multiple use principles, the basis for 

formulating reasonable alternatives, including the types of resources 

for development or protection. Factors to be considered may include, but 

are not limited to:

    (a) The types of resource use and protection authorized by the 

Federal Land Policy and Management Act and other relevant legislation;

    (b) Opportunities to meet goals and objectives defined in national 

and State Director guidance;

    (c) Resource demand forecasts and analyses relevant to the resource 

area;

    (d) The estimated sustained levels of the various goods, services 

and uses that may be attained under existing biological and physical 

conditions and under differing management practices and degrees of 

management intensity which are economically viable under benefit cost or 

cost effectiveness standards prescribed in national or State Director 

guidance;

    (e) Specific requirements and constraints to achieve consistency 

with policies, plans and programs of other Federal agencies, State and 

local government agencies and Indian tribes;

    (f) Opportunities to resolve public issues and management concerns;

    (g) Degree of local dependence on resources from public lands;

    (h) The extent of coal lands which may be further considered under 

provisions of Sec.  3420.2-3(a) of this title; and

    (i) Critical threshold levels which should be considered in the 

formulation of planned alternatives.
