- What it does
- The Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) advances the Department of the Interior’s role as stewards of the public lands by cultivating community-based conservation and partnerships. This program provides support and guidance for carrying out the expenditure of appropriated funds generated from the sale of public lands in the valley of Las Vegas, Nevada. In part, the SNPLMA funds are used for the development of Parks, Trails, and Natural Areas in Clark, Lincoln, and White Pine counties, and Carson City, all of Nevada; development and implementation of a multi-species habitat conservation plan in Clark County; and development and implementation of comprehensive, multijurisdictional, cost-effective hazardous fuels reduction and wildfire prevention plans in the Lake Tahoe Basin, the Carson Range in Douglas and Washoe counties and Carson City, and the Spring Mountains of Nevada. The program will focus funded partnerships on key activities in support of the Department of the Interior's priorities to manage public lands and waters, strengthening the government -to-government relationship with sovereign Tribal Nations, and invest in a unleashing American energy, where there is clear alignment of bureau priorities.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
