| [2] | Figures in the Number (N) rows for FLPMA will not add to the totals shown because wilderness study areas cross state lines and are reported in the count for each state. The figures of 135 and 665 shown are the total numbers of FLPMA wilderness study areas. Acreage figures do add to the totals shown at the bottom. |
| [3] | Instant study areas (ISAs) are special study areas mandated by Congress in FLPMA. |
