What happened
The Department of the Interior released a five-year strategic plan outlining intentions to sell public lands. The plan aims to decrease the size of the federal estate by offering federal lands to states, localities, and Tribes for purchase. Proceeds from these sales, for lands not deemed "nationally significant," will fund conservation efforts elsewhere.

Why it matters
The land disposal strategy is part of a plan to advance operational efficiencies and decrease the federal taxpayer's financial responsibility for managing federal lands. The sales are intended to allow the Department to concentrate resources on primary and nationally significant federal lands.
The Ute Indian Tribe has begun seeking land ownership in eastern Utah.
