The BLM and Forest Service must create an agreement with the New Mexico Land Grant Council describing how communities with historical Spanish and Mexican land grants can use federal land for traditional purposes, and must consult with Indian tribes in developing this agreement. Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) introduced the bill. The agreement must establish procedures for coordination between federal agencies and land grant communities, allow for project-specific agreements, and require federal land use plans to evaluate how other uses might affect traditional land grant activities.
