Federal Land Manager Law and Legal Definition
Pursuant to 16 USCS § 470bb (2), [Title 16. Conservation; Chapter 1B. Archaeological Resources Protection] the term Federal land manager means, “with respect to any public lands, the Secretary of the department, or the head of any other agency or instrumentality of the United States, having primary management authority over such lands. In the case of any public lands or Indian lands with respect to which no department, agency, or instrumentality has primary management authority, such term means the Secretary of the Interior. If the Secretary of the Interior consents, the responsibilities (in whole or in part) under this Act [16 USCS §§ 470aa et seq.] of the Secretary of any department (other than the Department of the Interior) or the head of any other agency or instrumentality may be delegated to the Secretary of the Interior with respect to any land managed by such other Secretary or agency head, and in any such case, the term "Federal land manager" means the Secretary of the Interior.”
