Summary:

Examines the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA), which provides for sale or exchange of BLM lands that have been identified for disposal under BLM land use plans. Describes FLTFA provisions on selling and acquiring land, and summarizes initial termination and subsequent extension of the program. Presents overview of how land sale and acquisition authorities have been used over the past decade, including acreage of land sold and acquired and amount of money collected and spent, both nationally and in particular States. Outlines Obama Administration proposal to amend FLTFA and make it permanent, and 112th and 111th Congress measures to extend and amend FLTFA. Discusses issues related to whether to extend or make FLTFA permanent, including need for FLTFA, length of any extension, currency of land use plans, and retention and use of proceeds
