土地管理局与越野商业协会签五年协议：共推公共土地负责任游憩
美国内政部土地管理局（BLM）11月2日在华盛顿与越野商业协会（ORBA）签署一份为期五年的谅解备忘录，就公共土地上的负责任游憩、管理与合作建立全国框架，并支持在州与地方外勤办公室层面的实际协调。
土地管理局局长 Steve Pearce 表示，公共土地管理在把各方尽早请到桌前、专注于解决问题时效果最好，这份协议加强了与 ORBA 的伙伴关系，让双方更早、更持续地协作，改善通道条件，并为外勤办公室与地方社区提供支持公共土地上负责任游憩的工具。ORBA 立法主任 Laura Butcher 表示，ORBA 很高兴与内政部和土地管理局正式合作，共同理解并推广公共土地上的负责任游憩与管理，公共土地是国家财富，各方同向努力、维护所有人的进入通道，人人受益。
备忘录涵盖四方面合作：劳动力认知与职业推广；管理与公共土地项目；游憩机会协调；经济影响与研究合作。其设计目标还包括支持游憩基础设施改善，并以数据评估机动游憩在公共土地上的经济贡献。首批举措包括开发一门实用的「我需要许可证吗？」（Do I Need a Permit?）课程，并争取在 Overland Expo 系列爱好者活动中推出；ORBA 还将为第三类与特殊游憩许可证、古生物资源使用许可证与科学研究许可证及授权提供实务支持与基础教育。
这份备忘录不附带任何联邦资金，也不改变土地管理局的许可权限或 ORBA 独立倡议的立场。土地管理局负责管理约 2.45 亿英亩公共土地，主要分布在西部12个州。ORBA 是汽车用品市场协会（SEMA）的全资子机构，是全国性倡议组织，致力于维护与扩大机动游憩通道。双方此前已在国家层面合作多年，ORBA 与土地管理局内华达州与加州办公室在特殊游憩许可、教育与经济影响工作上有多年往来，今年6月还曾在华盛顿与白宫、内政部、国会办公室等就旅行管理与机动通行议题开会。

BLM Signs Five-Year Agreement With Off-Road Business Association on Responsible Recreation on Public Lands
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) entered into a five-year Memorandum of Understanding with the Off-Road Business Association (ORBA) in Washington on November 2, setting a national framework for responsible recreation and stewardship on public lands and supporting practical coordination at the state and field-office level.
'Public land stewardship works best when we bring people to the table early and focus on solutions,' said BLM Director Steve Pearce, adding that the agreement strengthens the partnership with ORBA, improves access, and gives field offices and local communities tools to support responsible recreation on America's public lands. Laura Butcher, ORBA's legislative director, said ORBA is thrilled to engage formally with the Department of the Interior and BLM on a shared mission to better understand and promote responsible recreation and stewardship of public lands, calling public lands a national treasure and saying everyone benefits when stakeholders pull in the same direction in service of preserving access for all.
The memorandum covers workforce awareness and career outreach; stewardship and public lands projects; recreation opportunity coordination; and economic impact and research collaboration. It is also designed to support recreation infrastructure improvements and data-driven evaluation of the economic contributions of motorized recreation on public lands. Immediate initiatives include developing a practical 'Do I Need a Permit?' session and pursuing opportunities to offer it across the Overland Expo series of enthusiast events, and practical support and basic education from ORBA for Title III and Special Recreation Permits, Paleontological Resource Use Permits and Scientific Research Permits and Authorization.
No federal funding is tied to the memorandum, and it does not change BLM's permitting authority or ORBA's ability to advocate independently. The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land, located primarily in 12 western states including Alaska. ORBA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), is a national advocacy organization dedicated to protecting and expanding motorized recreational access. The two organizations have worked together at the national level for years, including ORBA's involvement with BLM's Nevada and California offices on special recreation permitting and education and economic impact work, and meetings in Washington in June with the White House, the Department of the Interior, congressional offices and House Natural Resources Committee staff on travel management and motorized access.
