I believe this is all over GAS, OIL, and other energy sources like solar, geothermal, etc. since I read the BLM's own admission that Nevada is one of the "most favorable" states for all of the above. Then they also admitted how some land they will sell to oil and gas producers and other land they will lease to the same.
So, will they use strong arm tactics like they did in the Bundy Bungle with semi-automatic weapons, dogs and tasers to seize the land from the land owners? This is absolutely outrageous. If they can take land from legal owners, who's next? Anyone who lives in western states are at risk of having this government agency stealing their land. Are the land owners in Texas "domestic terrorists" as Harry Reid states if the ranchers fight for their land? This agency is totally out of control and they need to be stopped.
RED RIVER RUMBLE? BLM Wants to Seize 90,000 Acres of Texas Ranchers' Land!
Byers, Texas along the Red River — The BLM stole 140 acres of the Tommy Henderson ranch thirty years ago. They took his land and paid him absolutely nothing. He sued and lost. Now the BLM is using that court case as precedent to do it again. The problem is, the land they want to seize is property that ranchers have a deed for and have paid taxes on for over a hundred years.
The BLM claims that about 90,000 acres (116 miles along the Red River) have never belonged to Texas in the first place. They will seize the land and it will seriously change the boundaries between the two states.

Greta Van Sustern had Gene Hall from the Texas Farm Bureau and Tom Henderson, legal owner of the land the BLM wants to seize on her program last night. See the transcript here:

I then went to the BLM site. It seems that they had these plans for the Red River either since then or even prior to then. My research isn't complete yet but their decision and plan from 1996 are listed here: (beware - it loads very slowly):
