Federal Lands and Local Communities

Abstract

The federal government owns nearly one third of all land in the United States. Inevitably, the activities conducted on federal land affect local communities and their members. Professor Freyfogle examines whether the federal government, as landowner and sponsor of economic activities, is legally obligated to abide by state and local land use rules. After surveying the developing conflict, the author discusses the principal statutory schemes and their preemptive effect. Professor Freyfogle proposes an alternative, limited preemption test that would encourage federal agencies to become responsible members of local communities.
