 96-8083 -- Public Lands Council v. Babbitt -- 02/09/1999
Bureau of Land Management, 133 IBLA 225, 233 (Aug. 3, 1995).

Equally reasonable is BLM's assertion that the change would unify procedures for authorizing improvements between BLM and the Forest Service given that many permittees use land administered by both agencies and both agencies have the same goals with respect to ecosystem management so far as consistent with the specific terms of their respective governing statutes.
