The BLM Sage-Grouse Habitat Management Areas dataset — Priority HMA (PHMA tiers 1 and 2) and General HMA (GHMA tier 3). Returns the intersecting tier for any PLSS section or TXSS abstract. The classification drives federal-land surface-use timing windows, buffer requirements, and seasonal restrictions — a make-or-break siting input for federal-land developers.
