These polygons include inholdings that are not actually part of the Wilderness Study Areas. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 directed the Bureau to inventory and study its roadless areas for wilderness characteristics. To be designated as a Wilderness Study Area, an area had to have the following characteristics: Size - roadless areas of at least 5,000 acres of public lands or of a manageable size; Naturalness - generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature; Opportunities - provides outstanding opportunities for solitude or primitive and unconfined types of recreation. In addition, Wilderness Study Areas often have special qualities such as ecological, geological, educational, historical, scientific and scenic values. Notes: On March 30, 2009 President Obama signed the 2009 Omnibus Public Land Management Bill, which created six new BLM wilderness in Owyhee County and also released many WSAs from WSA status. One August 7, 2015 President Obama signed HR 1138, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Additions Act, creating the Hemingway Boulders, Whiteclouds, and Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness areas. This released several areas from WSA Status. <div style='text-align:Left;font-size:12pt'><div><div><p><span>The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) mandated by the Secretary of Interior to report to the President on the wilderness suitability of lands managed by the Bureau of land Management (BLM) by October 21, 1991.
