SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ALMRS is a unique automated system of 
records which incorporates data from the currently used automated 
record systems: On-Line Recordation and Case Access (ORCA)/Case 
Recordation (CR) and Mining Claim Recordation (MCR). Combining these 
systems creates a new and efficient automated system of recording, 
maintaining, and retrieving land use and land availability to meet 
BLM's mission as a land management agency. ALMRS will allow user access 
to automated public land records through the use of computers by 
viewing the application throughout Arizona BLM's Information Access 
Centers (IACs). The majority of ALMRS user requests for information 
refers to data from land and mineral cases, and will be available from 
standard reports. ALMRS data will be accessible to BLM personnel; other 
federal, state, and local agencies; private industry; and public 
customers. However, access to proprietary or confidential information 
will be available according to security, Privacy Act, and FOIA 
regulations.
