- Provides executive leadership and direction for all Bureau actions within the state(s) compatible with the Bureau, Departmental, and Administration objectives and policies such as multiple use of resources; appropriate balance between resource protection and development; dealing effectively with economic and other interest organizations and groups, including mining and livestock associations, environmental and conservation groups, renewable energy companies, and oil and utility companies; and working effectively with other stakeholders and Federal agencies.
