Federal Funds
Revenues from Federal Oil and Gas Management Reforms
The 2016 Budget includes a package of legislative reforms to bolster and backstop administrative actions being taken to reform
management of Interior's onshore and offshore oil and gas programs, with a key focus on improving the return to taxpayers
from the sale of these Federal resources and on improving transparency and oversight. Proposed statutory and administrative
changes fall into three general categories: advancing royalty reforms, encouraging diligent development of oil and gas leases,
and improving revenue collection processes. Royalty reforms include evaluating minimum royalty rates for oil, gas, and similar
products, adjusting the onshore royalty rate, analyzing a price-based tiered royalty rate, and repealing legislatively mandated
royalty relief. Diligent development requirements include shorter primary lease terms, stricter enforcement of lease terms,
and monetary incentives to get leases into production through a new per-acre fee on nonproducing leases. Revenue collection
improvements include simplification of the royalty valuation process, elimination of interest accruals on company overpayments
of royalties, and a permanent repeal of Interior's authority to accept in-kind royalty payments. Collectively, these reforms
will generate roughly $2.5 billion in revenue to the Treasury over ten years, of which nearly $1.7 billion will result from
statutory changes. Many States also will benefit from higher Federal revenue sharing payments as a result of these reforms.
Bureau of Land Management
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is charged with the multiple use management of natural resources on more than 247 million
acres of surface estate of public land, about one-eighth of the land in the United States. The BLM also administers approximately
700 million acres of onshore Federal mineral estate underlying BLM and other surface ownerships. In addition, BLM has trust
responsibilities on 56 million acres of Indian trust lands for mineral operations and cadastral (land) surveys. The lands
managed by BLM provide important natural resources, recreational and scenic values to the American people, as well as resource
commodities and revenue to the Federal Government, States, and counties. It is the mission of BLM to sustain the health, diversity,
and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Budget proposes legislation
to establish a Congressionally-chartered National BLM Foundation. This Foundation will provide the BLM with an opportunity
to broaden its partnership capabilities, leverage private funding, and focus public support for the BLM mission of protecting
and restoring the natural, cultural, historical, and recreation resources on the Nation's public lands.
Federal Funds
Management of lands and resources
For necessary expenses for protection, use, improvement, development, disposal, cadastral surveying, classification, acquisition
of easements and other interests in lands, and performance of other functions, including maintenance of facilities, as authorized
by law, in the management of lands and their resources under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, including
the general administration of the Bureau, and assessment of mineral potential of public lands pursuant to section 1010(a)
of Public Law 96–487 (16 U.S.C. 3150(a)), [$970,016,000] $1,067,466,000, to remain available until expended, including all such amounts as are collected from permit processing fees, as authorized but made subject to future appropriation
by section 35(d)(3)(A)(i) of the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 191), as amended, except that amounts from permit processing
fees may be used for any bureau-related expenses associated with the processing of oil and gas applications for permits to
drill and related use authorizations; of which $3,000,000 shall be available in fiscal year [2015] 2016 subject to a match by at least an equal amount by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for cost-shared projects supporting
conservation of Bureau lands; and such funds shall be advanced to the Foundation as a lump-sum grant without regard to when
expenses are incurred.
[In addition, $32,500,000 is for the processing of applications for permit to drill and related use authorizations, to remain
available until expended, to be reduced by amounts collected by the Bureau and credited to this appropriation that shall be
derived from a fee of $6,500 per new application for permit to drill that the Bureau shall collect upon submission of each
new application, and, in addition,] In addition: (1) $48,000,000, to remain available until expended, is for conducting oil and gas inspection activities, to
be reduced by amounts collected by the Bureau and credited to this appropriation that shall be derived from onshore oil and
gas inspection fees that the Bureau shall collect, as provided for in this Act, except that, for fiscal year 2016, inspection
fees collected by the Bureau of Land Management may be used to fund personnel and mission-related costs to expand capacity
and expedite orderly energy development subject to environmental safeguards, on Federal land, pursuant to the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), including the review of applications for permits to drill; (2)
$16,500,000, to remain available until expended, is for the processing of grazing permits and leases, to be reduced by the
amounts collected by the Bureau and credited to this appropriation, which shall be derived from a $2.50 per animal unit month
administrative fee, as provided for in this Act; and (3) $39,696,000 is for Mining Law Administration program operations, including the cost of administering the mining claim fee
program, to remain available until expended, to be reduced by amounts collected by the Bureau and credited to this appropriation
from mining claim maintenance fees and location fees that are hereby authorized for fiscal year [2015] 2016, so as to result in a final appropriation estimated at not more than [$970,016,000] $1,067,466,000, and $2,000,000, to remain available until expended, from communication site rental fees established by the Bureau for the
cost of administering communication site activities. (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015.)

Land resources._Provides for management of rangeland and forest resources; riparian areas; soil, water, and air activities; wild horses and
burros; and cultural resources. The Budget funds rangeland management activities through a combination of direct appropriations
and offsetting collections generated from a proposed three-year pilot program to assess an administrative processing fee on
grazing permits. The fee recovers some costs associated with issuing grazing permits/leases on BLM lands. The funds from the
fee will be used to address pending applications for grazing permit renewals. The BLM proposes a $2.50 per Animal Unit Month
fee, collected along with current grazing fees. The BLM will promulgate regulations for the continuation of the grazing administrative
fee for cost recovery after the pilot expires.
Wildlife and fisheries management._Provides for maintenance, improvement, or enhancement of fish and wildlife habitats as part of the management of public lands
and ecosystems.
Threatened and endangered species management._Provides for protection, conservation, consultation, recovery, and evaluation of populations and habitats of threatened, endangered
and special status animal and plant species.
Recreation management._Provides for management and protection of recreational resource values, designated and potential wilderness areas, and collection
and expenditure of recreation user fees. The Administration proposes to permanently reauthorize the Departments of the Interior
and Agriculture recreation fee program under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, which is set to expire on September
30, 2016.
Energy and minerals management._Provides for management of onshore oil and gas; coal; geothermal and renewable energy resources such as wind and solar; other
leasable minerals and mineral materials activities; and the administration of encumbrances on the mineral estate on Federal
and Indian lands. The 2016 Budget funds oil and gas management activities through a combination of direct appropriations and
offsetting collections generated from assessing fees for permitting and inspection activities. Permitting fees are authorized
under current law; proposed new inspection fees are expected to generate $48 million in 2016 that will be used to offset the
costs of administering the BLM's oil and gas program and increase program capability.
Realty and ownership management._Provides for management and non-reimbursable processing of authorizations and compliance for realty actions and rights-of-way
(including Alaska), administration of land title records and completion of cadastral surveys on public lands. Provides for
the processing of communication site use authorization requests.
Resource protection._Provides for management of the land use planning and National Environmental Policy Act processes, including assessment and
monitoring activities. Also ensures the health and safety of users of the public lands through remediation of abandoned mine
lands and protection from criminal and other unlawful activities; the effects of hazardous material and/or waste; and physical
safety hazards.
Transportation and facilities management._Provides for construction and maintenance of administrative and recreation sites, roads, trails, bridges and dams, including
compliance with building codes and standards and environmental protection requirements. These funds allow for the systematic
management of facilities with critical health and safety concerns, and ensure the protection of natural and cultural resources
and the environment. BLM funds all construction and deferred maintenance projects from this activity, including those on
the Oregon and California grant lands.
Challenge Cost Share (CCS)._This program leverages non-Federal funding, in-kind services, and materials with Federal funding to conduct on-the-ground
projects that improve the condition of the public lands. These conservation, restoration, and enhancement projects benefit
forestry, range, riparian, fish, wildlife, threatened and endangered species, recreation, and cultural resources.
National Conservation Lands._Provides for the management of National Monuments, National Conservation Areas, and other Congressional conservation designations
in the National Conservation Lands. The program provides for the recurring operational (base) budgets of these units.
Workforce and organizational support._Provides for the management of specified bureau business practices, such as human resources, Equal Employment Opportunity,
financial resources, procurement, property, information technology, and fixed costs.
Mining law administration._Provides for exploration and development of minerals on public lands pursuant to the General Mining Law of 1872, including
validity examinations, patent application reviews, enforcement of environmental and bonding requirements, and recordation
of mining claims. Program costs are expected to be fully offset by claim maintenance and other fees in 2016.

This appropriation provides for the acquisition of lands or interests in lands, by purchase or exchange, when necessary for
public access and recreation use, preservation of open space, resource protection, and/or other purposes related to the management
of public lands. The 2016 Federal Land Acquisition program builds on efforts started in 2011 to strategically invest in interagency
landscape-scale conservation projects while continuing to meet agency-specific programmatic needs. The Department of the Interior
and the U.S. Forest Service collaborated extensively to develop a process to more effectively coordinate land acquisitions
with government and local community partners to achieve the highest priority shared conservation goals. The Administration
proposes $900 million in discretionary and mandatory funding in FY 2016, and proposes to permanently authorize $900 million
in annual mandatory funding for the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior Land and Water Conservation Fund programs
beginning in fiscal year 2017.

This appropriation is derived from: 1) revenues received to offset administrative and other costs incurred to process applications
for rights-of-way, and the monitoring of construction, operation, and termination of rights-of-ways; 2) recovery of costs
associated with the adopt-a-horse program; 3) revenues received for rehabilitation of damages to lands, resources, and facilities;
4) fees for processing specified categories of realty actions under the Federal Land Policy Management Act; 5) deposits received
from contractors in lieu of completing contract requirements such as slash burning and timber extension expenses; 6) fees
for costs of reproduction and administrative services involved in providing requested copies of materials; 7) fixed fees for
energy and minerals lease applications, assignments, and transfers; 8) costs of processing applications and administering
permits, including environmental analysis and monitoring of special recreation permits; and 9) rents received for permits
to do commercial filming and photography on public lands. The Budget assumes BLM will continue to identify new opportunities
to recover costs of services provided to benefiting public land users and reduce the need for direct appropriations from the
Treasury.

Permanent operating funds accounts include:
Operations and maintenance of quarters._Funds in this account are used to maintain and repair Bureau of Land Management (BLM) employee-occupied quarters from which
rental charges are collected. Agencies are required to collect rental charges from employees who occupy Government-owned housing
and quarters. This housing is provided only in isolated areas or where an employee is required to live on-site at a Federally
owned facility or reservation.
Forest ecosystems health and recovery._Funds in this account are derived from revenue generated from the Federal share of receipts from the sale of salvage timber
from the Oregon and California grant lands, public domain lands, and Coos Bay Wagon Road lands. Pursuant to P.L. 102–381,
as amended, this account was established to allow BLM to more efficiently and effectively address forest health issues. Funds
can be used for other forest health purposes, including release from competing vegetation and density control treatments.
This account will expire on September 30, 2020 under current law.
Timber sale pipeline restoration fund._This fund provides for the deposit and use of fees collected by BLM for sales of timber authorized by section 2001(k) of P.L.
104–19. Of the total deposited into this account, 75 percent is to be used for the preparation of timber sales to fill the
timber pipeline on lands administered by BLM, and 25 percent is to be used to address recreation projects on BLM lands.
Stewardship contract product sales.—Stewardship contracting improves, maintains, or restores forest and rangeland health; restores or maintains water quality;
improves fish and wildlife habitat; reestablishes native plant species and increases their resilience to insects and disease;
and reduces hazardous fuels that pose risks to communities and ecosystem values. Stewardship contracting authority includes
agreements with non-profits, best-value contracts, designation by description, end results, and goods for services.Expenses, road maintenance deposits._Users of certain roads under BLM's jurisdiction make deposits for maintenance purposes. Moneys collected are appropriated
for necessary road maintenance. Moneys collected on Oregon and California grant lands are available only for those lands (43
U.S.C. 1762(c), 43 U.S.C. 1735(b)).
Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, BLM._The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA) was enacted on December 8, 2004, as part of the Consolidated Appropriations
Act for 2005. The FLREA replaced the Recreation Fee Demonstration Program, and most current BLM sites have transitioned to
the new program. All receipts collected under this authority are deposited to this account. The BLM returns 100 percent of
these receipts back to the site where the fees were generated. The Administration proposes legislation to permanently authorize
the recreation fee programs of the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture under FLREA. The FLREA is currently set to
expire on September 30, 2016.
Acquisitions in Deschutes, Oregon from land sale receipts._Pursuant to P.L. 105–221, the Oregon Public Lands Transfer Act, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to use the proceeds
from land sales in Deschutes County to purchase environmentally sensitive lands.
Operations and acquisitions in Nevada from land sale receipts._Pursuant to P.L. 105–263, 85 percent of receipts from sales of public domain lands in southern Nevada are used to acquire
environmentally sensitive lands in Nevada; make capital improvements to areas administered by the National Park Service, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and BLM in Clark County, Nevada; develop a multi-species habitat plan in Clark County, Nevada;
develop parks, trails and natural areas and implement other conservation initiatives in Clark County, Nevada; and reimburse
BLM for costs incurred arranging sales and exchanges under the Act.
Lincoln County Land Sales Act._P.L. 106–298 authorizes the Secretary to dispose of certain lands in Lincoln County, Nevada, and distribute the proceeds as
follows: five percent to the State of Nevada; 10 percent to the County; and 85 percent to an interest bearing account that
is available for expenditure without further appropriation to be used by the Secretary of the Interior to acquire environmentally
sensitive lands in the State of Nevada, for identification and management of unique archaeological resources, for development
of a multi-species habitat conservation plan in the County, and for other specified administrative purposes.
White Pine County Land Sales Act._P.L. 109–432 authorizes the Secretary to dispose of certain lands in White Pine County, Nevada, and to distribute the proceeds
as follows: five percent to the State of Nevada; 10 percent to the County; and 85 percent to an account that is available
for expenditure without further appropriation for the management of archaeological resources, wilderness protection, recreation
activities, preparation of a management plan, reimbursement for sale costs, and other purposes.
Leases from Naval Petroleum Reserve No 2._The 2005 Energy Policy Act established this fund for environmental investigation and restoration on that site located in Kern
County, California. A portion of revenue from new leases on the site is authorized to be deposited to this account.
BLM Permit Processing Improvement Fund._The 2005 Energy Policy Act, as amended by the National Defense Authorization Act, 2015, established pilot offices to improve
interagency coordination in processing onshore Federal oil and gas permits. Fifty-percent of the rents from non-geothermal
onshore mineral leases are authorized to be deposited in this fund and used to facilitate BLM oil and gas permit processing
in these pilot offices. In addition, in 2016 through 2026, fees collected for processing applications for permits to drill
will be deposited to this fund.
Geothermal Lease Revenue Fund._The 2005 Energy Policy Act established this fund. Twenty-five percent of geothermal bonuses, rents, and royalties were authorized
to be deposited to this account through 2010 and used to expedite geothermal leasing activities. Deposits to this fund were
subsequently terminated beginning in fiscal year 2010.
Federal land disposal._The Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act, P.L. 106–248 (114 Stat. 613), provided authority for BLM to sell public lands
that were classified as suitable for disposal under resource management plans in effect at the time of enactment. This law
provided that receipts from such sales could be used to acquire non-Federal lands with significant resource values that fall
within the boundaries of areas now managed by the Department of the Interior. This authority expired on July 25, 2010, and
was later reauthorized through July 25, 2011. All funds not obligated by both expiration dates were transferred to the Land
and Water Conservation Fund. The Budget includes a proposal to reauthorize the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act.
A separate legislative proposal to extend the LWCF authorization will also be submitted with the Budget.
Owyhee Land Acquisition Account._The 2009 Omnibus Public Land Management Act, P.L. 111–11 (123 STAT. 1039), provides that the Secretary may sell public land
located within the Boise District of BLM that, as of July 25, 2000, was identified for disposal in appropriate resource management
plans. Amounts in the account shall be available to the Secretary, without further appropriation, to purchase land or interests
in land in, or adjacent to, certain wilderness areas.
Washington County, Utah Land Acquisition Account._The 2009 Omnibus Public Land Management Act, P.L. 111–11 (123 STAT. 1091), authorizes the sale of public land located within
Washington County, Utah, that, as of July 25, 2000, was identified for disposal in appropriate resource management plans.
Amounts in the account shall be available to the Secretary, without further appropriation, to purchase land or interests in
land in, or adjacent to, certain wilderness areas.
Silver Saddle Endowment Account._The 2009 Omnibus Public Land Management Act, P.L. 111–11 (123 STAT. 1114), requires Carson City to deposit twenty-five percent
of the difference between what the Secretary of the Interior and the City paid for the 62-acre Bernhard parcel before the
Secretary conveys the land to the City. Amounts deposited in the account established by paragraph (1) shall be available to
the Secretary, without further appropriation, for the oversight and enforcement of a certain conservation easement.
Carson City Special Account._The 2009 Omnibus Public Land Management Act, P.L. 111–11 (123 STAT. 1113), authorizes the sale of 158 acres of public land
described in the statute. Five percent of the proceeds are paid to the State of Nevada for use for public education. The remainder
is deposited to this account and used to acquire environmentally sensitive land or an interest in environmentally sensitive
land in Carson City; to cover the cost of surveys and appraisals; and to reimburse BLM for administrative expenses.
Ojito Land Acquisition.—The Ojito Wilderness Act authorized the sale of land to the Pueblo Indian Tribe and the purchase of land from willing sellers
within the State of New Mexico.

Miscellaneous permanent payments include:
Payments for Oregon and California and Coos Bay Wagon Road grant lands, receipts._The Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (P.L. 106–393), as amended by P.L. 110–343 and by P.L.
112–141, provides annual transition payments to the 18 O&C counties. These payments were derived from revenues from Federal
activities on O&C lands in the previous fiscal year that were not deposited to permanent operating funds, supplemented by
amounts from the General Fund when necessary. The last payment authorized under P.L. 106–393 was in 2006. Section 601 of Division
C of P.L. 110–343 amended and reauthorized the Secure Rural Schools Act (P.L. 106–393). Payments authorized for 2012 by P.L.
112–141 were made in 2013. Amendments to P.L. 106–393 retained most provisions of the original Act, but reduced payments each
year. Section 10(a) of P.L. 113–40, 127 Stat. 545, provided authorization for 2013, for payments made in 2014. Authority for
Secure Rural Schools payments has not been enacted to make payments in 2015. Payments to western Oregon counties will be made
under authorities provided in the 1937 and 1939 statutes. The Budget reflects a five-year reauthorization of the Secure Rural
Schools Act with funding through mandatory appropriations beginning in 2015. Counties not opting to receive a portion of the
USDA Forest Service payments to communities will receive funds authorized under the 1937 and 1939 statutes. Payments to the
Oregon counties under the 1937 statute will be 50 percent of revenues from O&C grant lands. Payments under the 1939 statute
are for lost tax revenue in two Oregon counties and are estimated to be 75 percent of all revenues from Coos Bay Wagon Road
grant lands.
Payments to States (proceeds of sales)._States are paid five percent of the net proceeds from the sale of public land and public land products (31 U.S.C. 1305).
Payments to States from grazing receipts, etc, public lands outside grazing districts._States are paid 50 percent of the grazing receipts from public lands outside of grazing districts (43 U.S.C. 315i, 315m).
Payments to States from grazing receipts, etc, public lands within districts._States are paid 12.5 percent of grazing receipts from public lands inside grazing districts (43 U.S.C. 315b, 315i).
Payments to States from grazing receipts, etc, public lands within grazing districts, miscellaneous._States are paid specifically determined amounts from grazing receipts derived from miscellaneous lands within grazing districts
when payment is not feasible on a percentage basis (43 U.S.C. 315).
Payments to counties, National Grasslands._Of the revenues received from the use of Bankhead-Jones Act lands administered by BLM, 25 percent is paid to the counties
in which such lands are situated, for school and road purposes (7 U.S.C. 1012).
Payments to Nevada from receipts on land sales._(A) P.L. 96–586 authorizes and directs the Secretary to sell not more than 700 acres of public lands per calendar year in
and around Las Vegas, Nevada, the proceeds of which are to be used to acquire environmentally sensitive lands in the Lake
Tahoe Basin of California and Nevada. Annual revenues are distributed to the State of Nevada (five percent) and the county
in which the land is located (10 percent). (B) P.L. 105–263, as amended by P.L. 107–282, authorizes the disposal through sale
of approximately 49,000 acres in Clark County Nevada, the proceeds of which are to be distributed as follows: a) five percent
for use in the general education program of the State of Nevada; b) 10 percent for use by the Southern Nevada Water Authority
for water treatment and transmission facility infrastructure in Clark County, Nevada; and c) the remaining 85 percent to a
special fund administered by the Secretary of the Interior to be used to acquire environmentally sensitive lands in Nevada;
make capital improvements to areas administered by the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and BLM in Clark
County, Nevada; develop a multi-species habitat plan in Clark County, Nevada; develop parks, trails, and natural areas and
implement other conservation initiatives in Clark County, Nevada; and reimburse BLM for costs incurred arranging sales and
exchanges under the Act. (C) P.L. 106–298 authorizes the sale of certain lands in Lincoln County, Nevada. The proceeds of
these sales are to be distributed as follows: a) five percent to the State of Nevada for general education purposes; b) 10
percent to Lincoln County for general purposes with emphasis on supporting schools; and c) the remaining 85 percent to a special
fund administered by the Secretary of the Interior to acquire environmentally sensitive lands in the State of Nevada, for
identification and management of unique archaeological resources, for development of a multi-species habitat conservation
plan in the county, and for other specified administrative purposes.
Cook Inlet Region, Incorporated Account._This account received funding appropriated by section 9102 of the fiscal year 1990 Department of Defense Appropriations Act
for the acquisition of Federal real properties, improvements on such lands or rights to their use or exploitation, and any
personal property related to the land purchased by the Cook Inlet Region, Incorporated as authorized by the provisions of
section 12(b) of P.L. 94–204 (43 U.S.C. 1611). The BLM maintains an accounting of the funds used by the Cook Inlet Region,
Incorporated to purchase properties.
State 5 Percent Share, Carson City Land Sales._The 2009 Omnibus Public Land Management Act, Public Law 111–11 (123 STAT. 1113), requires that five percent of proceeds from
the sale of 158 acres described in the statute shall be paid to the State of Nevada for general public education purposes.

The Helium Act Amendments of 1960, P.L. 86–777 (50 U.S.C. 167), authorized activities necessary to provide sufficient helium
to meet the current and foreseeable future needs of essential government activities. The Helium Privatization Act of 1996
(HPA), P.L. 104–273, provided for the eventual privatization of the program and its functions, specifying that once the helium
debt is retired, the Helium Production Fund would be dissolved. The debt was repaid at the beginning of fiscal year 2014.
The Helium Stewardship Act of 2013 (HSA), P.L. 113–40, provided for continued operation of the Helium program while facilitating
a gradual exit from the helium market. The Helium program consists of: (a) continued storage and transmission of crude helium;
(b) oversight of the production of helium on Federal lands; and (c) administration of in-kind and open market crude helium
gas sale programs. To minimize impacts to the helium market, the HSA provides a "glide path" from the sales mandated under
HPA, increasing the sales price of helium through an auction mechanism and reducing the total volume of helium sold each year,
until the amount in storage reaches 3.0 billion cubic feet. At that point, the remaining helium will be reserved for Federal
users. Additionally, HSA provides for a hard deadline to sunset the program and sell off the program assets by 2021.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) manages the exploration and development of the nation's offshore energy and marine
mineral resources on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The marine environment includes vast deposits of oil and natural
gas, non-energy minerals, as well as renewable resources such as offshore wind, wave and ocean currents. BOEM's goal is to
balance economic development, energy security, and environmental protection through responsible and transparent management
of offshore resources based on the best available science. In carrying out this mission, the Bureau manages a range of OCS
activities. This includes preparing a five-year oil and gas leasing program, which identifies OCS areas (parcels of the seafloor)
to be offered to industry for development, and subsequently conducting oil and gas lease sales under the program. In addition,
BOEM supports leasing and permitting for OCS renewable energy development, manages OCS sand and gravel resources, conducts
environmental reviews, and oversees national resource assessments of oil, gas and other mineral resource potential on the
OCS. As the Nation's designated steward of mineral resources on the OCS, BOEM works diligently to build a successful offshore
program with a legal and regulatory framework that will provide for safe and environmentally sound OCS mineral resource development.
The Ocean Energy Management account includes the following budget activities: Renewable Energy, Conventional Energy, Environmental
Programs, General Support Services, and Executive Direction.
Renewable Energy.—Oversees renewable energy program development and implementation, including: identification of wind energy areas; environmental
and compliance work; issuance of offshore renewable energy leases; review of site assessment, construction, and operation
plans; and consultation with state and local governments, other Federal agencies, and other stakeholders.
Conventional Energy.—Supports OCS oil and gas leasing, including planning the Five-Year OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program; surveying OCS boundaries;
conducting lease sales; administering leases; reviewing exploration and development plans; conducting technical and economic
resource evaluation; and engaging in coastal and marine planning activities involving minerals other than oil and gas.
Environmental Programs.—Develops the environmental impact statements and environmental assessments needed to consider the potential environmental
impacts of proposed actions in accordance with the National Environmental Protection Act and related regulations. Also conducts
specific studies that address information needs associated with both conventional and renewable energy leasing activities
on the Outer Continental Shelf.
General Support Services.—Funds shared support services for the Bureau, such as space, worker and unemployment compensation, voice and data communications,
and other central services. In FY 2016, BOEM proposes to eliminate this activity through internal transfers to the other activities.
The proposed change would have a net zero budgetary impact.
Executive Direction.—Funds bureau-wide leadership, management, coordination, communications strategies, and outreach. It includes budget management,
Congressional and public affairs, and program policy and analysis.

Coastal Impact Assistance
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109–58) amends section 31 of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1356
et seq.) to require that for each of the fiscal years 2007 through 2010, $250,000,000 in OCS revenues be distributed annually
to coastal States that have submitted approved coastal impact assistance plans. The program was transferred from the Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE), now the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), to the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Remaining balances from this program were transferred on October 1, 2011.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) was established on October 1, 2011, to aggressively enforce safety
and environmental protection requirements for energy operations on the 1.7 billion-acre U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).
The BSEE's mission is to promote safety, protect the environment, and conserve resources offshore through vigorous regulatory
oversight and enforcement. The Offshore Safety and Environmental Enforcement (OSEE) account is BSEE's primary operating account.
Activities include: Operations, Safety, and Regulation; Administrative Operations; and Executive Direction. The FY 2016 President's
Request consolidates the General Support Services Activity (GSS) into the remaining OSEE Activities. This realignment is calculated
based on activity FTE levels.
Operations, Safety, and Regulation.—Manages safety and environmental compliance activities associated with OCS oil and gas development plans and permits, including
drilling permit application reviews; conducts facility inspections, including overseeing critical high-risk activities and
identifying incidences of noncompliance with safety requirements; monitors industry compliance with mitigation and other environmental
requirements; ensures offshore operators comply with oil spill planning and preparedness requirements; conducts accident investigations;
oversees operator training and audit programs; conducts annual operator performance reviews; conducts research on emerging
energy development technologies; and performs inspection verification of oil and gas production levels to help ensure the
public receives a fair return from the sale of these public resources.
Administrative Operations.—Provides general administration and ethics programs, equal employment opportunity services, emergency management, finance,
human resources, procurement, and information management. This activity also provides a full range of administrative and information
management services to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), as well as select services to other Departmental entities.
Executive Direction.—Provides bureau-wide leadership, direction, management, coordination, communications strategies, and outreach. Conducts
functions such as budget, congressional and public affairs, and policy and program analysis.

In order to address the continuing legacy of abandoned mine lands (AML) on the health, safety, and environment of communities,
the Budget proposes to make available to States and Tribes $1 billion from the unappropriated balance of the AML Trust Fund.
The AML funding would be used to target reclamation of AML sites and associated polluted waters in a manner that promotes
sustainable revitalization in economically depressed coalfield communities. Additionally, the budget proposes to return coal
reclamation fee rates to their historic (pre-FY 2008) level.

P.L. 109–432, as amended, authorizes mandatory Treasury payments to all States and Tribes equivalent to their share of the
accumulated balance of the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund (i.e. prior balance funds). Prior balance fund payments were made
over the past seven years and were exhausted in FY 2015. The payments also return half of annual coal fee collections to States
and Tribes that have certified completion of their abandoned coal mine reclamation programs, with a limitation of funding
levels available to each certified State and Tribe of not more than $15 million in FY 2016 (P.L. 112–141, Sec 100125).
The Budget proposes to eliminate mandatory payments from the Treasury to States and Tribes that have been certified as completing
reclamation of their abandoned coal mines, so that abandoned mine lands funds are only used to clean up the most hazardous
abandoned coal mines. The Budget also proposes to return coal reclamation fee rates to their historic (pre-FY 2008) levels
so that additional funding will be available to reduce some of the remaining dangerous coal AML sites nationwide.

P.L. 109–432 authorizes mandatory Treasury payments to three United Mine Workers of America retiree health benefit plans (the
Combined Benefit Fund, the 1992 Plan, and the 1993 Plan), to the extent that other Federal funding sources do not meet the
plans' expenditure needs, subject to certain limitations. Interest earned on Abandoned Mine Land trust fund balances is available
for transfer to cover funding shortfalls in the plans; unobligated balances in the fund are used to generate interest for
this purpose.

Under current law, total obligations derived from the general fund for Surface Mining, Control, and Reclamation Act (SMCRA)
purposes cannot exceed $490 million a year. The Budget includes legislative proposals that would: (1) revise the formula for
general fund payments to the 1993 Health Benefit Plan by taking into account all beneficiaries enrolled in the Plan as of
enactment, as well as those retirees whose health benefits were denied or reduced as the result of a bituminous coal industry
bankruptcy proceeding commenced in 2012, and (2) transfer to the 1974 UMWA pension plan the difference between that cap and
other OSM obligations to the states and other health care plans. Payments would be made by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
within the Department of Labor. The 1974 plan, which covers more than 100,000 mineworkers, is underfunded and approaching
insolvency. Payments would continue until the plan is fully funded on a current liability basis.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
Administrative provision
[In fiscal year 2015 and each fiscal year thereafter, with funds available for the Technical Innovation and Professional Services
program in this or any other Act with respect to any fiscal year, the Secretary may transfer title for computer hardware,
software and other technical equipment to State and tribal regulatory and reclamation programs.] (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015.)
Bureau of Reclamation
Appropriations to the Bureau are made from the General Fund and special funds. The source of funds are a) the General Fund,
which funds other projects or programs. Among the projects funded from the General Fund are the Colorado River Basin Project
and the Colorado River Storage Project; b) the Reclamation Fund, derived from repayments and other revenues from water and
power users, receipts from the sale, lease, and rental of Federal lands, and certain oil and mineral revenues. Program activities
that can be financed from the Reclamation Fund are those that directly benefit the 17 Western States and are for the purposes
authorized under "Reclamation Law"; c) the Central Valley Project Restoration Fund, consisting of revenues from project beneficiaries;
and d) other sources such as the Colorado River Dam Fund, which generates revenue from the sale of Boulder Canyon power, and
the recreation, entrance, and user fee account, consisting of fees collected pursuant to the Land and Water Conservation Fund
Act of 1965, as amended. Non-Federal entities also advance funds for operation and maintenance and provide funds under the
Contributed Funds Act. The 2016 estimates are summarized by source as follows (in millions of dollars):

The Water and Related Resources account supports the development, management, and restoration of water and related natural
resources in the 17 Western States. The account includes funds for operating and maintaining existing facilities to obtain
the greatest overall level of benefits, to protect public safety, and to conduct studies on ways to improve the use of water
and related natural resources. Work will be done in partnership and cooperation with non-Federal entities and other Federal
agencies to reduce conflict, facilitate solutions to complex water issues, and stretch limited water supplies. The American
West faces serious water challenges. Adequate and safe water supplies are fundamental to the health, economy, security, and
ecology of the country. With increased demands for water, amplified recognition of environmental water requirements, and the
potential for decreased supplies due to drought and climate change, a water balance cannot be achieved without water conservation
and water reuse. In 2016, Reclamation will help address these issues through a water conservation program, which includes
cost-shared grants for conservation and water and energy management improvement projects; basin-wide planning studies that
will evaluate and address the impacts of climate change; cooperative watershed management; and funding of water reuse and
recycling projects. Reclamation will also partner with States, Tribes and local entities under the program to develop incentives
and best practices for implementing water and energy conservation and water recycling projects.

This account receives funding (user fees and repayment receipts) from the Friant Division long-term water contractors and
other Federal and non-Federal sources to implement the provisions described in the Settlement (Settlement) for the National
Resources Defense Council et. al. v. Rodgers lawsuit. The Settlement's two primary goals are: 1) To restore and maintain fish
populations in "good condition" in the main stem of the San Joaquin River below Friant Dam to the confluence of the Merced
River, including naturally reproducing and self-sustaining populations of salmon and other fish; and 2) To reduce or avoid
adverse water supply impacts to all of the Friant Division long-term contractors that may result from the Interim Flows and
Restoration Flows provided for in the Settlement.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides research and scientific information to support the mission of the Department of
the Interior and its science requirements. The USGS also works in collaboration with other Federal, State, and tribal cooperators
to conduct research and provide scientific data and information concerning natural hazards and environmental issues, including
the water, land, geologic, and biological resources of the Nation. The USGS budget continues science programs that generate
relevant, objective information for natural resource managers and for communities throughout the Nation and engages in partnerships
with universities, research institutions, and major public and private laboratories.
Ecosystems._The USGS Ecosystems mission area monitors and inventories biological resources and ecological systems; provides scientific
information for the management of biological resources and their habitats; studies and predicts the consequences of environmental
change and the effects of alternative management actions on plants, animals, and their habitats; conducts high priority ecological
and biological research needed by Interior for sound management decisions; and operates the Cooperative Research Unit program,
a university-based fish and wildlife research program focusing on graduate education and training of future natural resource
professionals.
Climate and Land Use Change._The USGS Climate and Land Use Change mission area conducts scientific research, monitoring, remote sensing, modeling, and
forecasting to address the effects of climate and land use change on the Nation's natural resources. The resulting research
and products are provided as the scientific foundation upon which policymakers, natural resource managers, and the public
make informed decisions about the management of natural resources. Landsat satellites and data systems are developed, operated,
and maintained to ensure a continuous global record of moderate-resolution land images.
Energy, Minerals, and Environmental Health._The USGS Energy, Minerals, and Environmental Health mission area includes scientific activities that support decision making
related to natural resource security; environmental, wildlife, and human health; land and resource management; and economic
development. The mission area provides scientific information for assessments and research on mineral and energy resource
potential, production and consumption, and environmental impacts of permitting, extraction, and use in the United States and
around the world. The mission area also provides information and tools to decision makers and the public regarding environmental
contaminants, including impacts on susceptible ecosystems and implications for human, wildlife and fish health.
Natural Hazards._The USGS plays a critical role in providing policymakers and the public with a clear understanding of potential threats from
natural hazards, societal vulnerability to these threats, and strategies for achieving resilience to earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, landslides, floods, hurricanes, solar storms, tsunamis, and wildfires. The USGS Natural Hazards mission area is
working with its partners and stakeholders to define and mitigate risks, build understanding of natural hazard processes,
and characterize the potential impact and consequences on human activity, health, the economy, and the environment. This mission
area includes USGS activities that characterize and assess coastal and marine processes, conditions, change and vulnerability.
Water Resources._The USGS is one of the primary Federal science agencies that provides information about water resources. To fulfill this responsibility,
the USGS Water Resources mission area produces data, analyses, and assessments, and develops methodologies to support Federal,
State, tribal, and local government decisions in managing water resources for domestic, agricultural, commercial industrial,
recreational, and ecological uses; protecting and enhancing water resources for human health, aquatic health, and environmental
quality; minimizing loss of life and property as a result of water-related natural hazards, such as floods, droughts, and
land movement; and contributing to sustainable stewardship and development of the Nation's resources for the benefit of present
and future generations.
Core Science Systems._The USGS Core Science Systems mission area conducts fundamental research and provides data about the Earth, its complex processes,
and its natural resources. These activities provide the Nation with natural science information to support response planning
for natural hazards and to manage natural resources. Core Science Systems produces geological, geographical, geophysical,
and geochemical maps and three-dimensional geologic frameworks that provide critical data for sustaining and improving the
quality of life and economic vitality of the Nation. As the Federal steward of elevation and hydrography information, Core
Sciences Systems makes this information and other geospatial information available to the public through The National Map.
This mission area creates the informatics framework and provides scientific content needed for understanding and stewardship
of our Nation's ecological, geologic, and geospatial resources.
Science Support._The USGS Science Support mission area provides Bureau-wide executive direction and coordination, business administration and
financial management, and management of information technology infrastructure, processes and systems.
Facilities._The USGS Facilities mission area provides safe, functional workspace, state of the art labs, and facilities for the USGS to
accomplish its scientific mission. The mission area provides rental payments and operation and maintenance for properties
and maintenance and capital improvement for existing assets.
Reimbursable program._Reimbursements from non-Federal sources are from States, Tribes, and municipalities for: cooperative efforts and proceeds
from sale to the public of copies of photographs and records; proceeds from sale of personal property; reimbursements from
permittees and licensees of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission; and reimbursements from foreign countries and international
organizations for technical assistance. Reimbursements from other Federal agencies are for mission-related work performed
at the request of the financing agency.

Ecological Services._The Service conserves, protects, and enhances fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitat by working with private landowners,
States, Tribes, non-governmental organizations, and other Federal agencies. These partnership activities help protect and
recover species that are listed under the Endangered Species Act and work toward making the listing of additional species
unnecessary. Financial assistance is provided to private landowners to restore or improve habitat for endangered species and
other at-risk species. Technical assistance helps prevent or minimize adverse environmental effects of development projects.
Contaminants are investigated, monitored, and assessed for effects on trust resources.
Habitat Conservation.—Through technical and financial assistance, the Service promotes the protection, conservation and restoration of the nation's
fish and wildlife resources. These conservation activities are accomplished through a voluntary citizen and community based
stewardship program with partners on private lands. Conserving the nation's coastal trust resources is accomplished through
collaboration with others on public and private lands.
National Wildlife Refuge System._The Service maintains the National Wildlife Refuge System consisting of 562 refuges, waterfowl production areas in 209 counties
managed by 38 wetland management districts, and 50 wildlife coordination areas. The National Wildlife Refuge System administers
this network of land and waters to conserve and restore fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats, for the benefit of present
and future generations of Americans.
Conservation and Enforcement._The Service directs and coordinates national migratory bird programs to protect and enhance populations and habitat of more
than 1,000 species of birds. Grants and partnerships are key to these programs, such as the Joint Ventures that implement
the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. The Service Law Enforcement program investigates wildlife crimes, regulates
wildlife trade, helps Americans understand and obey wildlife protection laws, and works in partnership with international,
State, and Tribal counterparts to conserve wildlife resources. The Service, through the International Affairs Program, works
with private citizens, local communities, State and Federal agencies, foreign governments, and non-governmental organizations
in the United States and internationally to promote a coordinated domestic and international strategy to protect, restore,
and enhance the world's diverse wildlife and their habitats, with a focus on species of international concern.
Fish and Aquatic Conservation.—The Fish and Aquatic Conservation Program consists of 72 interconnected National Fish Hatcheries, one historic National
Fish Hatchery, nine Fish Health Centers, seven Fish Technology Centers, 65 Fish and Wildlife Conservation Offices, and the
Aquatic Animal Drug Approval Partnership Program. Working with partners, the program recovers, restores and maintains fish
and other aquatic resources at self-sustaining levels; provides technical assistance to States, Tribes and others; and supports
Federal mitigation programs for the benefit of the American public.
Cooperative Landscape Conservation._Through a national network of Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs), and in cooperation with both Federal and non-Federal
partners, the Service enhances its core capacity in biological planning and conservation design to strategically address the
problems fish, wildlife, and plants will face in the future. The information gathered helps to define clear conservation objectives,
inform conservation management decisions, focus management actions where they will most affect the landscape, and supply scientific
knowledge and expertise needed most by the Service and its partners.
Science Support. —Science Support provides funding for applied science directed at high impact questions surrounding threats to fish and
wildlife resources. This science provides critically needed information to inform regulatory and policy decisions to best
manage species at healthy and sustainable levels across broader landscapes.
General Operations._Funding for the Service's general operations provides policy guidance, program coordination, and administrative services to
all of the Fish and Wildlife Service's programs. The funds also support the National Conservation Training Center and projects
through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to restore and enhance fish and wildlife populations.

The State and Tribal Wildlife Grants program provides funds to States, Commonwealths, the District of Columbia, and Territories
primarily through a formula-based apportionment. Additionally, a competitive program uses a merit-based process to fund the
best outcome-oriented, results-based projects. At the discretion of affected States, the competitive program may be used by
regional associations of State fish and wildlife agencies. Tribes also receive funds through a national competitive award
process. These funds are provided to stabilize, restore, enhance, and protect species and their habitat that are of conservation
concern, thereby avoiding the costly and time-consuming process that occurs when habitat is degraded or destroyed and species
populations plummet.

Federal Land Acquisition funds are used to protect areas that have native fish or wildlife values and provide natural resource
benefits over a broad geographical area. Funds in this account also cover acquisition management activities, such as title
fees and land surveys. The Service places emphasis on acquiring important fish, wildlife, and plant habitat for the conservation
of listed endangered and threatened species. The Federal Land Acquisition program uses alternative and innovative conservation
tools, including conservation easements, and implements projects that have the input and participation of the affected local
communities and stakeholders. In addition, the 2016 Federal Land Acquisition program builds on efforts started in 2011 to
strategically invest in interagency landscape-scale conservation projects while continuing to meet agency-specific programmatic
needs. The Department of the Interior and the U.S. Forest Service collaborated extensively to develop a process to more effectively
coordinate land acquisitions with government and local community partners to achieve the highest priority shared conservation
goals.
Mandatory Land and Water Conservation Fund._The Administration proposes $900 million in discretionary and mandatory funding in FY 2016, and proposes to permanently authorize
$900 million in annual mandatory funding for the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture Land and Water Conservation Fund
programs beginning in FY 2017.

The Landowner Incentive Program provided cost-shared, competitive grants to States, Commonwealths, the District of Columbia,
Territories, and Tribes to create, supplement or expand upon new or ongoing landowner incentive programs. These programs provided
technical and financial assistance to private landowners to help them protect and manage imperiled species and their habitat,
while continuing to engage in traditional land use or working conservation practices. The program was phased out in 2008 and
minimal balances remain in this account.

Funds deposited into this account include import duties on arms and ammunition and receipts in excess of Postal Service expenses
from the sale of Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamps, i.e. Duck Stamps. These funds are used to acquire land and
water for migratory bird refuges and waterfowl production areas. In addition, any funds reverted from the States within the
Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Fund are available for this purpose. The 2016 budget proposes legislation to enable future
stamp fee increases with the approval of the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission.

Funds deposited into this account include direct appropriations and fines, penalties, and forfeitures collected under the
authority of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 707). The North American Wetlands Conservation Fund supports wetlands
conservation projects approved by the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission. Interest on obligations held in the Federal
Aid in Wildlife Restoration Fund is also available for this purpose. In addition, a portion of receipts to the Sport Fish
Restoration Account is also available for coastal wetlands conservation projects.
These projects help fulfill the habitat protection, restoration, and enhancement goals of the North American Waterfowl Management
Plan and the Tripartite Agreement among Mexico, Canada, and the United States. These projects may involve partnerships with
public agencies and private entities, with non-Federal matching contributions, for the long-term conservation of habitat for
migratory birds and other fish and wildlife, including species that are listed, or are candidates to be listed, under the
Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531).
Wetlands conservation projects include the obtaining of a real property interest in lands or waters, including water rights;
the restoration, management or enhancement of habitat; and training and development for conservation management in Mexico.
Funding may be provided for assistance for wetlands conservation projects in Canada or Mexico.

The Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund provides grants to States and U.S. territories for species and habitat
conservation actions on non-federal lands, including habitat acquisition, conservation planning, habitat restoration, status
surveys, captive propagation and reintroduction, research, and education for species that are listed, or species that are
candidates for listing, as threatened or endangered. These activities support recovery efforts and Habitat Conservation Plans
in partnership with local governments and other interested parties to protect species. Appropriations to this account are
financed by the Land and Water Conservation Fund and the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund. The latter is an
unavailable receipt account that receives a transfer from the General Fund of the U.S. Treasury equal to five percent of receipts
deposited to the Federal Aid in Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration accounts plus Lacey Act receipts over $500,000. Funds
made available for grants from the two accounts are subject to annual appropriations authorized by Congress.
Mandatory Land and Water Conservation Fund._The Administration proposes $900 million in discretionary and mandatory funding in FY 2016, and proposes to permanently authorize
$900 million annual mandatory funding for the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture Land and Water Conservation Fund
programs, including the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund program, beginning in FY 2017.

The Refuge Revenue Sharing Act (16 U.S.C. 715s) authorizes the Service to make payments to counties in which Service fee lands
are located from the revenues resulting from the sale of products from Service lands, less expenses for producing the revenue
and activities related to revenue sharing. While direct appropriations have previously been used to supplement revenues, the
2016 Budget eliminates discretionary funding as formulas contained in the Act do not account for the economic benefits which
refuges provide.

The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA) was passed on December 8, 2004, as part of the Omnibus Appropriations
bill for 2005. Approximately 164 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sites collect entrance fees and other receipts. All receipts
are deposited into a recreation fee account of which at least 80 percent is returned to the collecting site.
The recreation fee program demonstrates the feasibility of user generated cost recovery for the operation and maintenance
of recreation areas, visitor services improvements, and habitat enhancement projects on Federal lands. Fees are used primarily
at the site to improve visitor access, enhance public safety and security, address maintenance needs, enhance resource protection,
and cover the costs of collection. Recreation fees are often used at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sites to fund student
interns and for various youth programs focusing on hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, wildlife photography, environmental
education, and environmental interpretation. The FLREA authorizes this program through 2014 and the program was extended until
2015 in the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2014 (P.L. 113–46).
The Administration proposes legislation to permanently authorize the recreational fee programs of the Departments of the Interior
and Agriculture under FLREA. The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriation Act of 2015 (P.L. 113–235) extended FLREA's
authorization of the fee programs through September 30, 2016.

The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669 et seq.), now known as the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration
Act, created a program to fund the selection, restoration, rehabilitation and improvement of wildlife habitat, hunter education
and safety, and wildlife management research. Under the program, States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa,
and the Northern Mariana Islands are allocated funds from an excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition, handguns, and a tax
on certain archery equipment. States are reimbursed up to 75 percent of the cost of approved wildlife and hunter education
projects.
The Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 (P.L. 106–408) amends the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife
Restoration Act and authorizes a Multistate Conservation Grant Program, as well as the Firearm and Bow Hunter Education and
Safety Program that provides grants to the States.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109–58) amends section 31 of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1356
et seq.) to require that for each of the fiscal years 2007 through 2010, $250,000,000 in OCS revenues be distributed annually
to coastal States that have submitted approved coastal impact assistance plans. The formula for distribution is based on the
amount of qualified OCS revenues generated off the coastline of each producing State. In addition, 35 percent of each State's
allocable share is to be distributed to coastal political subdivisions based on population, coastline, and distance to applicable
OCS leases. In FY 2011, this program was transferred from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement
to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act, now known as the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 777
et seq.), created a fishery resources, conservation, and restoration program funded by excise taxes on fishing equipment and
certain other sport fish related products and fuel.
The Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 (P.L. 106–408) amends the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish
Restoration Act and authorizes a Multistate Conservation Grant Program. It also provides funding for several fisheries commissions
and the Sport Fishing and Boating Partnership Council.
The Sport Fish Restoration Act specifies that the net deposits made into the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Safety Trust
Fund, minus the distributions for administrative expenses, special commissions, the Boating Council, and Multistate Grants,
be distributed to support the following:
The Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 3951 et seq.).—18.5 percent of net deposits, or amounts collected in small engine fuels excise taxes as provided by 26 U.S.C. 9504(b),
whichever is greater, are to be made available and distributed as follows: 70 percent to the Army Corps of Engineers for priority
project and conservation planning activities in Louisiana; 15 percent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for coastal wetlands
conservation grants; and 15 percent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for wetlands conservation projects per the North
American Wetlands Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 4407).
Boating Safety Programs.—18.5 percent of net deposits are to be made available to the Department of Homeland Security (United States Coast Guard)
for state recreational boating safety programs.
The Clean Vessel Act.—2 percent of net deposits are to be made available to the Secretary of the Interior for grants to States, Commonwealths,
the District of Columbia and Territories, as determined through a competitive award process, to carry out projects for the
construction, renovation, operation, and maintenance of pumpout stations and waste reception facilities, as well as for educational
programs on proper disposal of sewage.
National Outreach and Communications Programs.—2 percent of net deposits are to be made available to the Secretary of the Interior to develop national and State outreach
plans to promote safe fishing and boating opportunities and the conservation of aquatic resources.
Boating Infrastructure Programs.—2 percent of net deposits are to be made available to the Secretary of Interior to make grants to States, as determined
through a competitive award process, for the development and maintenance of facilities for transient non-trailerable recreational
vessels 26 feet or longer.
The remaining 57 percent is provided to the States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana
Islands, and the District of Columbia for up to 75 percent of the cost of approved projects including: research into fisheries
problems, surveys and inventories of fish populations, acquisition and improvement of fish habitat, and provision of access
for public use.

The National Park Service administers 405 areas and over 84.5 million acres of land in 50 States, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Samoa, and the Northern Marianas. In FY 2013, park visits totaled 277 million.
This annual appropriation funds the operation of areas and facilities administered by the National Park System through two
budget activities. Funds within this appropriation are available for one year, with the exception of repair and rehabilitation
funds and funds for the cooperative restoration of the Everglades, which are both available for two years.
The first activity, Park Management, covers the management and operation of park areas, and is divided into five subactivities
that represent functional areas:
Resource stewardship._Encompasses resource management operations that provide for the protection and preservation of unique natural, cultural, and
historical features of units of the National Park System.
Visitor services._Includes operations that provide orientation, educational, and interpretive programs to enhance the visitor's park experience.
It also provides for the efficient management of concession contracts, commercial use authorizations, and franchise fees for
the benefit of visitors and the protection of resources.
Park protection._Provides for the protection of park resources, visitors, and staff. Funding supports law enforcement operations, including
the United States Park Police, that reduce vandalism and other destruction of park resources, safety, and public health operations.
Facility operations and maintenance._Encompasses the maintenance and protection of buildings, other facilities, lands , and other government investments.
Park support.—Covers the management, supervision, and administrative operations for park areas and partnerships.
The second activity, External Administrative Costs, funds costs which are largely determined by organizations outside the
National Park Service and for which funding requirements are less flexible. The requirements for these costs are mandated
in accordance with applicable laws. To promote the efficient performance of the National Park Service, these costs are most
effectively managed on a centralized basis.

The Land Acquisition and State Assistance appropriation uses funding derived from the Land and Water Conservation Fund to
support National Park Service land acquisition activities and provide grants to States for the purchase and development of
land for outdoor recreation activities. The appropriation is composed of the following budget activities:
Federal land acquisition administration._Provides for the administration of land acquisitions throughout the National Park System, ensuring compliance with existing
guidelines and laws.
Federal land acquisition._Provides for the acquisition of land and interests in land to preserve and protect, for public use and enjoyment, the historic,
scenic, natural, and recreational values of congressionally authorized areas within the National Park System. Funds are also
used for matching grants for the purchase of Civil War Battlefield lands by non-Federal entities. The 2016 Federal Land Acquisition
program builds on efforts started in 2011 to strategically invest in interagency landscape-scale conservation projects while
continuing to meet agency-specific programmatic needs. The Department of the Interior and the U.S. Forest Service collaborated
extensively to develop a process to more effectively coordinate land acquisitions with government and local community partners
to achieve the highest priority shared conservation goals.
State conservation grants administration._Provides for the administration of matching grants to States and through States to local governments, for the acquisition
and development of public outdoor recreation areas and facilities.
State conservation grants._This activity provides matching grants to States and local units of government for the acquisition and development of land
and facilities that will provide the public access to new opportunities to engage in outdoor recreation. Beginning in 2014,
in addition to the traditional grants described above, the account includes a competitive grant program for States.
Outer Continental Shelf Oil Lease Revenues._The Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006 (P.L. 109–432) allows a portion of the revenue collected from oil and gas leasing
activities in qualified areas just becoming available for leasing in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) to be deposited to
the Land and Water Conservation Fund and distributed to States in accordance with the Land and Water Conservation Act of 1965.
The National Park Service portion of the revenue is 12.5 percent of total qualified OCS revenues. These new OCS receipts became
available for expenditure as mandatory funding beginning in 2009. The Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (P.L. 111–8) permits
the use of up to three percent of the amounts authorized to be disbursed for costs of administration.

Recreation Fee Program._The National Park Service and other land management agencies operate a fee program that allows parks and other units to collect
admission and user fees in accordance with the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA). FLREA was passed on December
8, 2004, as part of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2005, and authorized this program through 2014. The Consolidated and Further
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, extended FLREA through fiscal year 2016. The Administration proposes to permanently reauthorize
the Department of the Interior's and the Department of Agriculture's recreation fee programs in fiscal year 2016. Net proceeds
are used for high-priority visitor service and facility maintenance projects throughout the National Park System. Up to 80
percent may be retained for use by the collecting park and the remainder retained for discretionary, Servicewide use by the
National Park Service Director. Proceeds from the sale of the America the Beautiful passes, which allow access to all public
lands that charge fees for a year, are distributed among the Federal land management agencies which offer them for sale, including
the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Reclamation and
the U.S. Forest Service, as determined by the Secretaries of the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture
in accordance with P.L. 108–447.
Deed-restricted parks fee program._Park units where admission fees may not be collected by reason of deed restrictions retain any other recreation fees collected
and use them for certain park operation purposes in accordance with P.L. 105–327. This law applies to Great Smoky Mountains
National Park, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, and Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site.
Transportation systems fund._Fees charged for public use of transportation services at parks are retained and used by each collecting park for costs associated
with the transportation systems in accordance with section 501 of P.L. 105–391.
Educational expenses, children of employees, Yellowstone National Park._
Payment for tax losses on land acquired for Grand Teton National Park._Revenues received from fees collected from visitors are used to compensate the State of Wyoming for tax losses on Grand Teton
National Park lands (16 U.S.C. 406d-3).

The Historic Preservation Fund appropriation includes grant programs to facilitate the preservation of the Nation's historic
and cultural resources. This appropriation provides grants-in-aid to States, Territories, and Indian Tribes. Grants-in-aid
to States and local governments require a 40 percent funding match; grants to Tribes do not require matching funds. Beginning
in 2014, in addition to the traditional grants-in-aid described above, the account includes a competitive grant program for
the survey and nomination of properties associated with communities currently underrepresented in the National Register and
as National Historic Landmarks. Beginning in 2016, the budget proposes competitive grant programs, including grants-in-aid
to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, to commemorate the sites and stories of the Civil Rights Movement.

Park concessions franchise fees._Franchise fees for concessioner activities in the National Park System are deposited in this account and used for certain
park operations activities in accordance with section 407 of P.L. 105–391. By law, 20 percent of franchise fees collected
are used to support activities throughout the National Park System and 80 percent are retained and used by each collecting
park unit for visitor services and for purposes of funding high-priority and urgently necessary resource management programs
and operations.
Concessions improvement accounts._National Park Service agreements with private concessioners providing visitor services within national parks can require concessioners
to deposit a portion of gross receipts or a fixed sum of money in a separate bank account. A concessioner may expend funds
from such an account with the approval of the park superintendent for improvements to facilities that directly support concession
visitor services, but would not otherwise be funded through the appropriations process. Concessioners do not accrue possessory
interests from improvements funded through these accounts.
Park buildings lease and maintenance fund._Rental payments for leases to use buildings and associated property in the National Park System are deposited in this account
and used for infrastructure needs at park units in accordance with section 802 of P.L. 105–391.
Operation and maintenance of quarters._Revenues from the rental of Government-owned quarters to park employees are deposited in this account and used to operate
and maintain the quarters.
Delaware Water Gap, Route 209 operations._Fees collected for use of Route 209 within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area by commercial vehicles are used
for management, operation, and maintenance of the route within the park as authorized by P.L. 98–63 (97 Stat. 329), section
117 of P.L. 98–151 (97 Stat. 977) as amended by P.L. 99–88 (99 Stat. 343), and section 702 of Division I of P.L. 104–333 (110
Stat. 4185). The appropriation was reauthorized in fiscal year 1997 by P.L. 104–333 and in fiscal year 2006 by P.L. 109–156.
Glacier Bay National Park resource protection._Of the revenues received from fees paid by tour boat operators or other permittees for entering Glacier Bay National Park,
60 percent are used for certain activities to protect resources of the Park from harm by permittees in accordance with section
703 of Division I of P.L. 104–333 (110 Stat. 4185).
Filming and photography special use fees._The National Park Service is authorized to retain fee receipts that are collected from issuing permits to use park lands and
facilities for commercial filming, still photography, and similar activities. Activities authorized for funding include acquisition
of emergency response equipment to prevent harm to aquatic park resources from permittees and studies to quantify the impact
of permittees' activities on wildlife and other natural resources of the park.
Contributions to US Park Police annuity benefits._Necessary costs of benefit payments to annuitants under the pension program for United States Park Police officers hired prior
to January 1, 1984, established under P.L. 85–157, are paid from the General Fund of the Treasury to the extent the payments
exceed deductions from salaries of active duty employees in the program. Permanent funding for such payments was provided
in the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2002. Before 2002, such payments were funded from
appropriations made annually to the National Park Service.

responsibilities and support tribal self-determination and nation building.
This account covers expenses associated with the following activities:

and maintenance of strong and stable governments capable of administering quality programs and developing economies. This
activity also provides for the maintenance of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) roads and bridges.
Human services._This activity provides funding for social services, housing improvement, welfare assistance, and Indian child welfare. The
objective of this activity is to improve the quality of life for individual Indians who live on or near Indian reservations
and to protect children, the elderly, and disabled from abuse and neglect.
Trust: Natural resources management._This activity provides for the management, development, protection, and resilience of Indian trust land and natural resource
assets. Natural resource programs in Indian Country include agriculture, forestry, water, fish, wildlife, and parks.
Trust: Real estate._This activity promotes cooperative efforts with landowners for the optimal utilization, development, and enhancement of trust
and restricted Federal Indian-owned lands. The activity includes general real estate services, probate, land title and records,
environmental compliance, and other trust services and rights protection.
Education._This activity supports Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) tribal elementary and secondary school operations, other education
programs for elementary-aged Indian children, tribal post-secondary schools, education program management, and facilities
maintenance. The BIE-funded schools include 169 elementary and secondary BIE- and tribally-run schools, 14 dormitories, two
post-secondary schools, and operating grants to eligible tribal colleges and universities.
Public safety and justice._This activity funds law enforcement activities in Indian Country in over 25 States. Programs under this activity include investigative,
police, and detention services; tribal courts; fire protection; and facilities maintenance.
Community and economic development._This activity promotes the economic vitality of American Indians and Alaska Natives through Job Placement and Training, Economic

information technology resources, personnel services, facilities management, payment of GSA and direct rentals, and intra-governmental
payments. Significant portions of Indian Affairs activities are executed under contracts or compacts with Federally-recognized

This appropriation funds a program to consolidate fractional interests in Indian lands and assist land owners with estate
planning. Funds are used to purchase small interests in parcels of lands from willing individual Indian landowners and convey
those interests to the tribe on whose reservation the land is located. Consolidation of these interests is expected to reduce
the Government's costs for managing Indian lands and promote economic opportunity on these lands. This program is authorized
under the Indian Land Consolidation Act Amendments of 2000 (P.L. 106–462), the American Indian Probate Reform Act of 2004
(P.L. 108–374), and other authorities. No funding is requested in 2016 in this account. Implementation of the Individual Indian
Money Account Litigation Settlement (P.L. 111–291, Title I) to address fractionation is in a separate account in the Office
of the Secretary.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records the subsidy costs associated with guaranteed and
insured loans committed in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments
in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program including improvements to information technology systems.
The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis. Guaranteed
and insured loans are targeted to projects with an emphasis on manufacturing, business services, and tourism (hotels, motels,
restaurants) providing increased economic development on Indian reservations.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
Administrative provisions
The Bureau of Indian Affairs may carry out the operation of Indian programs by direct expenditure, contracts, cooperative
agreements, compacts, and grants, either directly or in cooperation with States and other organizations.
Notwithstanding 25 U.S.C. 15, the Bureau of Indian Affairs may contract for services in support of the management, operation,
and maintenance of the Power Division of the San Carlos Irrigation Project.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds available to the Bureau of Indian Affairs for central office oversight
and Executive Direction and Administrative Services (except executive direction and administrative services funding for Tribal
Priority Allocations, regional offices, and facilities operations and maintenance) shall be available for contracts, grants,
compacts, or cooperative agreements with the Bureau of Indian Affairs under the provisions of the Indian Self-Determination
Act or the Tribal Self-Governance Act of 1994 (Public Law 103–413).
In the event any tribe returns appropriations made available by this Act to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, this action shall
not diminish the Federal Government's trust responsibility to that tribe, or the government-to-government relationship between
the United States and that tribe, or that tribe's ability to access future appropriations.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds available to the Bureau of Indian Education, other than the amounts provided
herein for assistance to public schools under 25 U.S.C. 452 et seq., shall be available to support the operation of any elementary
or secondary school in the State of Alaska.
No funds available to the Bureau of Indian Education shall be used to support expanded grades for any school or dormitory
beyond the grade structure in place or approved by the Secretary of the Interior at each school in the Bureau of Indian Education
school system as of October 1, 1995, except that the Secretary of the Interior may waive this prohibition to support expansion
of up to one additional grade when the Secretary determines such waiver is needed to support accomplishment of the mission
of the Bureau of Indian Education. Appropriations made available in this or any prior Act for schools funded by the Bureau
shall be available, in accordance with the Bureau's funding formula, only to the schools in the Bureau school system as of
September 1, 1996, and to any school or school program that was reinstated in fiscal year 2012. Funds made available under
this Act may not be used to establish a charter school at a Bureau-funded school (as that term is defined in section 1141
of the Education Amendments of 1978 (25 U.S.C. 2021)), except that a charter school that is in existence on the date of the
enactment of this Act and that has operated at a Bureau-funded school before September 1, 1999, may continue to operate during
that period, but only if the charter school pays to the Bureau a pro rata share of funds to reimburse the Bureau for the use
of the real and personal property (including buses and vans), the funds of the charter school are kept separate and apart
from Bureau funds, and the Bureau does not assume any obligation for charter school programs of the State in which the school
is located if the charter school loses such funding. Employees of Bureau-funded schools sharing a campus with a charter school
and performing functions related to the charter school's operation and employees of a charter school shall not be treated
as Federal employees for purposes of chapter 171 of title 28, United States Code.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including section 113 of title I of appendix C of Public Law 106–113, if in fiscal
year 2003 or 2004 a grantee received indirect and administrative costs pursuant to a distribution formula based on section
5(f) of Public Law 101–301, the Secretary shall continue to distribute indirect and administrative cost funds to such grantee
using the section 5(f) distribution formula.
Funds available under this Act may not be used to establish satellite locations of schools in the Bureau school system as
of September 1, 1996, except that the Secretary may waive this prohibition in order for an Indian tribe to provide language
and cultural immersion educational programs for non-public schools located within the jurisdictional area of the tribal government
which exclusively serve tribal members, do not include grades beyond those currently served at the existing Bureau-funded
school, provide an educational environment with educator presence and academic facilities comparable to the Bureau-funded
school, comply with all applicable Tribal, Federal, or State health and safety standards, and the Americans with Disabilities
Act, and demonstrate the benefits of establishing operations at a satellite location in lieu of incurring extraordinary costs,

This appropriation supports the functions of the Office of the Secretary of the Interior, including executive-level leadership,
policy, guidance, and coordination of the responsibilities carried out by its bureaus and offices. In addition, the appropriation
supports programmatic functions carried out by the Office of the Secretary including mineral revenue collections, the Take
Pride in America program, the Department's quasi-judicial and appellate responsibilities, and the Office of Valuation Services.
The appropriation also provides for workers and unemployment compensation payments for former Bureau of Mines employees.
Coastal Resilience Fund.—The Budget proposes to establish a new Coastal Resilience Fund for projects that increase community and ecosystem resilience
through the restoration of natural systems that have a physical or ecological nexus to Federal lands. This new program will
expand the footprint of healthy ecosystems to deliver valuable ecosystem services, including flood attenuation and storm risk
reduction, to nearby communities.
Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR).—The Office of Natural Resources Revenue's mission is to collect, disburse, and verify Federal and Indian energy and other
natural resources revenues on behalf of all Americans. Revenues collected by ONRR represent a significant source of non-tax
revenue to the Federal Government. The ONRR disburses mineral revenues to States, the Office of the Special Trustee for American
Indians, other Federal agencies, and the General Fund of the United States Treasury. Through ONRR, the Administration will
continue to implement mineral revenue collection and reporting reforms, including the implementation of the Extractive Industries
Transparency Initiative, and the implementation of recommendations from the Government Accountability Office, the Department's
Inspector General, and others.

Under the Mineral Leasing Act, States receive fifty-percent of Federal revenues generated from mineral production occurring
on Federal lands within that State's boundaries. Alaska is the exception, receiving a 90 percent share of receipts from Federal
mineral leasing in that State (exclusive of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska). To partially cover the costs of administering
the Federal mineral leasing program, the Bipartisan Budget Act permanently amended the Mineral Leasing Act (MLA) to deduct
two percent from the required payments to States under the Act.

Flood control payments to States are shared according to the Flood Control Act of 1936 (33 U.S.C. 701 et seq.) which provides
that 75 percent of revenue collected be shared with the State in which it was collected. These funds are to be expended as
the State legislature may prescribe for the benefit of the public schools and roads in the county from which the revenue was
collected, or for defraying other expenses of county government. These expenses include public obligations of levee and drainage
districts for flood control and drainage improvements. Payments are administered by the Office of Natural Resources Revenue.

As of May 23, 1908 (16 U.S.C. 499), 25 percent of the revenues collected from onshore mineral leasing and production on national
forest lands have been paid to the State in which the national forest resides. A State's payment is based on national forest
acreage. Where a national forest is situated in several States, an individual State payment is proportionate to its area within
that particular national forest. These payments are now administered by the Office of Natural Resources Revenue within the
Department of the Interior's Office of the Secretary.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109–58) amended section 20 of the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 1019 et seq.).
The amendment provides that for the revenues collected from geothermal leasing, 50 percent of the revenues are to be paid
to the State and 25 percent are to be paid to the county in which the leased lands or geothermal resources are located. These
payments are administered by the Office of Natural Resources Revenue.

Terminate geothermal payments to counties.—The Budget proposes to repeal the 25 percent geothermal lease revenue sharing payments to counties established by the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109–58) and return to the traditional 50/50 Federal-State revenue sharing arrangement. States have
the flexibility to allocate their share of revenue from Federal leases to counties, if appropriate.

The Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006 (GOMESA, P.L. 109–432) opened some additional areas in the Gulf of Mexico for
offshore oil and gas leasing, while maintaining moratoria on activities east of the Military Mission Line and within certain
distances from the coastline of Florida. The Act provides that 37.5 percent of Outer Continental Shelf revenues from certain
leases be distributed to four coastal States (Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas) and their local governments based
on a complex allocation formula.
States Share from Certain Gulf of Mexico Leases
(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)
Under the Administration's all-of-the-above energy strategy, domestic oil and gas production has grown each year. Offshore,
the Department has made 60 million acres available for development in the past three lease sales alone. The Administration
is committed to ensuring that American taxpayers receive a fair return from the sale of public resources and taxpayers throughout
the country benefit from the development of offshore energy resources owned by all Americans. The Administration proposes
to work with the Congress on legislation to redirect funds currently allocated to GOMESA revenue sharing payments to select
states from Gulf of Mexico oil and gas leases. The Administration proposes to redirect these payments, which are set to expand
substantially starting in FY 2018, to programs that provide broad natural resource, watershed and conservation benefits to
the Nation, help the Federal Government fulfill its role of being a good neighbor to local communities, and support other
national priorities. Such programs could include the Land and Water Conservation Fund, Payments In Lieu of Taxes, State and
Tribal Wildlife Grants, Federal coastal restoration and resilience programs, or other national priorities.

Title IV of the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 1998 (P.L. 105–83) established the Environmental
Improvement and Restoration Fund account. As required by law, 50 percent of the principal and 50 percent of the interest from
the Alaska Escrow account are deposited into the Environmental Improvement and Restoration Fund. The law requires that the
corpus of the Fund be invested. Twenty percent of the interest earned by the Fund is permanently appropriated to the Department
of Commerce, and the unappropriated balance of interest remains in the fund. At this time, no budget authority is requested.

The Individual Indian Money Account Litigation Settlement (P.L. 111–291) established this fund to provide Indian land owners
with an additional incentive to sell their fractionated interests, given that the market value associated with highly fractionated
interests will be quite low in many cases. Not more than $60 million may be transferred from the Trust Land Consolidation
Fund to this fund for higher education scholarships for American Indians and Alaska Natives to be administered as described
in the settlement agreement.

The Individual Indian Money Account Litigation Settlement (P.L. 111–291) established a new trust land consolidation fund for
the buy-back and consolidation of fractionated interests in parcels of land from individual Indian landowners. The fund also
covers administrative costs to undertake the process of acquiring fractionated interests and associated trust reform activities
not to exceed 15 percent of the fund. The acquisition of fractionated interests is authorized under the Indian Land Consolidation
Act Amendments of 2000 (P.L. 106–462), and the American Indian Probate Reform Act of 2004 (P.L. 108–374). The Settlement provides
additional authority for the acquisition of interests held by persons who cannot be located after engaging in extensive efforts
to notify them and locate them for a five-year period. The Settlement was finalized on November 24, 2012 and in accordance
with the terms of the legislation, these funds remain available for ten years from the date of the Settlement.

The Administration proposes $900 million in discretionary and mandatory funding in FY 2016, and proposes to permanently authorize
$900 million in annual mandatory funding for the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture Land and Water Conservation Fund
programs beginning in fiscal year 2017. This account reflects the mandatory funds to be appropriated to the Department of
the Interior and allocated to the Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, Office of the
Secretary, and the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service for authorized land acquisition and grant programs.
Departmental Management—Allocations Received from Other Accounts
Note._Obligations incurred under allocations from other accounts are included in the schedule of the parent appropriation as follows:
Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians: "Federal Trust Programs".
Interior: Natural Resources Damage Assessment: "Natural Resources Damage Assessment Fund".
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
Administrative provisions
For fiscal year [2015] 2016, up to $400,000 of the payments authorized by the Act of October 20, 1976 (31 U.S.C. 6901–6907) may be retained for administrative
expenses of the Payments in Lieu of Taxes Program: Provided, That no payment shall be made pursuant to that Act to otherwise eligible units of local government if the computed amount
of the payment is less than $100: Provided further, That the Secretary may reduce the payment authorized by 31 U.S.C. 6901–6907 for an individual county by the amount necessary
to correct prior year overpayments to that county: Provided further, That the amount needed to correct a prior year underpayment to an individual county shall be paid from any reductions for
overpayments to other counties and the amount necessary to cover any remaining underpayment is hereby appropriated and shall
be paid to individual counties. (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015.)
The Office of the Secretary provides for the administration of the Payments in Lieu of Taxes program, which makes payments
to counties and other units of local government for lands within their boundaries that are administered by the Bureau of Land
Management, U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and certain other agencies.
Insular Affairs
The Secretary of the Interior is charged with the responsibility of promoting the economic and political development of those
insular areas which are under U.S. jurisdiction and within the responsibility of the Department of the Interior. The Secretary
originates and implements Federal policy for the U.S. territories; guides and coordinates certain operating programs and construction
projects; provides information services and technical assistance; coordinates certain Federal programs and services provided
to the freely associated states, and participates in foreign policy and defense matters concerning the U.S. territories and
the freely associated states.

Until October 1, 1994, the United States exercised jurisdiction over the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands according
to the terms of the 1947 Trusteeship Agreement between the United States and the Security Council of the United Nations. These
responsibilities were carried out by the Department of the Interior.
The Department of the Interior is seeking no additional appropriations for the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Compacts
of Free Association have been implemented with the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and
the Republic of Palau.
Remaining funds in the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands account are being used to improve basic economic information
and financial management capabilities in the insular areas; address compact impact related issues; and also for brown tree
snake control.
Compact of free association
For grants and necessary expenses, $3,318,000, to remain available until expended, as provided for in sections 221(a)(2) and
233 of the Compact of Free Association for the Republic of Palau; and section 221(a)(2) of the Compacts of Free Association
for the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia, as authorized by Public
Law 99–658 and Public Law 108–188. (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015.)

1985 (P.L. 99–239) constituted the necessary authorizing legislation to make annual payments to the Republic of the Marshall
Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia. Payments began in 1987 and continued through 2003 when the original economic
assistance package expired. The Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003, P.L. 108–188, continues financial assistance
to the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands through 2023. The Compact of Free Association
for the Republic of Palau was enacted on November 14, 1986 as P.L. 99–658, and was implemented on October 1, 1994. While the
financial assistance provisions under the Compact of Free Association with the Republic of Palau were set to expire on September
30, 2009, subsequent appropriations in 2010 through 2015 have continued financial assistance to Palau at 2009 levels.

significant past due debts to vendors. Repayment of the loan is secured and accomplished with funds, as they become due and
payable to ASG from the Escrow Account established under the terms and conditions of the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement.

The mission of the Office of Inspector General is to promote excellence, accountability and integrity in the programs, operations
and management of the Department of the Interior. The Office focuses on providing the Secretary and Congress timely and relevant
information regarding the Department's most serious management and program challenges, with a special concentration on high-risk
areas vulnerable to fraud, waste, and mismanagement. The Office is responsible for independently and objectively identifying
risks and vulnerabilities that directly impact, or could impact, the Department's ability to accomplish its mission. The Office
is required to keep the Secretary and Congress fully and currently informed about problems and deficiencies relating to the
administration of departmental programs and operations. Effective implementation of this mandate addresses the public's demand
for greater accountability and integrity in the administration of government programs and operations and the demand for programs
that work better, cost less, and get the results about which Americans care most.

P.L. 94–565 (31 U.S.C. 6901–07), as amended, authorizes payments in lieu of taxes ("PILT payments") to counties and other
units of local government for lands within their boundaries that are administered by the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S.
Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and certain other agencies. The PILT payment formula
is based on a number of factors, including the amount of Federal land within an eligible unit of local government, its population,
and certain other Federal payments the local government may receive.
Since the inception of the PILT program in 1977 through FY 2007, PILT funding was subject to annual appropriations. The Emergency
Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 provided a five-year (FYs 2008–2012) mandatory funding stream for PILT at the full authorization
levels calculated using the existing PILT formula. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act extended the mandatory
authorization through 2013, and the Agricultural Act of 2014 (P.L. 113–79) extended the mandatory authorization through 2014.
The Carl Levin and Howard P. "Buck" McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 and the Consolidated and
Further Continuing Appropriations Act (P.L. 113–235) extended PILT payment authority through 2015.

The Central Hazardous Materials Fund is used to fund remedial investigations/feasibility studies and cleanups of hazardous
waste sites for which the Department of the Interior is liable. Authority is provided for amounts recovered from responsible
parties to be credited to this account. Thus, the account may be composed of both annual appropriations of no-year funds and
of offsetting collections. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended (42 U.S.C.
Section 9601 et seq.) requires responsible parties, including Federal landowners, to investigate and clean up releases of hazardous substances.

Under the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration Fund (Restoration Fund), natural resource damage assessments
are performed in order to provide the basis for claims against responsible parties for the restoration of injured natural
resources. Funds are appropriated to conduct damage assessments, provide restoration support, prepare for response to potential
inland oil spills, and for program management. In addition, funds will be received for the restoration of damaged resources
and other activities and for natural resource damage assessments from responsible parties through cooperative assessment agreements,
negotiated settlements, or other legal actions by the Department of the Interior. Responsible parties may also provide in-kind
services to restore injured natural resources.
Restoration activities include: 1) the replacement and enhancement of affected resources; 2) acquisition of equivalent resources
and services; and, 3) long-term environmental monitoring and research programs directed to the prevention, containment, and
amelioration of hazardous substances and oil spill sites.
The Restoration Fund operates as a Department-wide program, incorporating the interdisciplinary expertise of its various bureaus
and offices. Natural resource damage assessments and the restoration of injured natural resources are authorized by the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.), and the Act of July 27, 1990 (16 U.S.C. 19jj et seq.). Since 1992, amounts received by the United States from responsible parties for restoration or reimbursement in settlement
of natural resource damages may be deposited in the Fund and shall accrue interest.

Exxon Valdez Restoration Program
The Budget reflects the receipts, transfers, and mandatory spending by the Department of the Interior associated with the
civil and criminal settlements resulting from the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in the Prince William Sound and surrounding areas. Funding from the settlements, including interest, is provided
to Federal and State of Alaska natural resource trustee agencies to restore the natural resources and services damaged by
the spill. The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council consists of three State and three Federal trustees who oversee restoration of the injured ecosystem
through the use of civil settlement funds. The criminal settlement funds are managed separately by the Federal and Alaska
State governments, but are coordinated with the Council.
The original civil settlement with the Exxon Corporation included a re-opener provision valid from September 2002 to September
2006, which provided an opportunity for the Trustee governments to claim up to an additional $100 million for natural resource
injury that could not have been known or anticipated at the time of settlement. In late 2006, the United States and the State
of Alaska issued a demand letter for $92 million to the ExxonMobil Corporation, as well a comprehensive restoration project
plan for the clean up of lingering oil. Negotiations with ExxonMobil await completion of additional scientific studies.
The civil settlement and interest earned to date total roughly $1 billion, of which $200 million remains, outside the Treasury.
The balance is managed on behalf of the Trustee Council by the State of Alaska (Exxon Valdez Investment Fund), with funds used for general restoration, habitat acquisition and protection, monitoring and research, public
information, and science management and administration.

The 2016 Budget proposes to amend the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended, to establish
a new budget framework for the Wildland Fire Management program that is designed to provide stable funding for fire suppression,
while minimizing the adverse impacts of fire transfers on the budgets of other fire and non-fire programs, as well as reduce
fire risk, manage landscapes more comprehensively, and increase the resiliency of public lands and the communities that border
them. In this proposed new budget framework, a portion of the funding needed for suppression response is funded within the
discretionary spending limits and a portion is funded in an adjustment to those limits. In addition, it does not increase
overall discretionary spending, as it would reduce the ceiling for the existing disaster relief cap adjustment by an equivalent
amount as is provided for wildfire suppression operations. More details are provided in the Budget Process chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume.Preparedness._Funds the non-emergency and predictable aspects of the Department's wildland fire program, including the initial attack suppression
action on wildfires. Preparedness includes readiness, operational planning, oversight, procurement, training, supervision,
and deployment of wildland fire suppression personnel and equipment prior to wildland fire occurrence. It also includes activities
related to program monitoring and evaluation, and integration of fire into land-use planning.
Suppression Operations._Funds the emergency and unpredictable aspects of the Department's wildland fire management program. Suppression operations
include the total spectrum of management actions taken on wildland fires in a safe, cost-effective manner, considering public
benefits and values to be protected consistent with resource objectives and land management plans. Emergency actions taken
during and immediately following a wildfire to stabilize the soil and structures to prevent erosion, floods, landslides, and
further resource damage are included in this activity. Emergency stabilization actions may be performed within one year of
containment of a fire. In FY 2010 through 2015, funding for the ten-year average of inflation-adjusted suppression obligations
is split between the FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund and this appropriation. The Budget request proposes an adjustment
to the discretionary spending limits as a new approach for responsibly budgeting for wildland fire suppression to minimize
the risk of fire transfers and provide more stability and certainty of funding to other programs to invest in critical forest
and rangeland management needs. The Budget proposes base level funding of 70 percent of the 10-year average of suppression
costs to be funded within the discretionary cap. The proposed cap adjustment would fund the remaining identified need for
Suppression. The base level of funds ensures that the cap adjustment is only used for the most severe fire activity since
it is one percent of the fires that results in 30 percent of the costs. In FY 2016, 70 percent of the 10-year average is $269
million. The amount requested in the cap adjustment equals the difference between the total amount of suppression expenditures
projected for the fiscal year, based on the Outyear Forecast developed by the U.S. Forest Service's Southern Research Station,
and the 70 percent of the 10-year suppression average that is requested within the discretionary budget caps. For 2016, the
request for the budget cap adjustment is $200 million. The DOI and Forest Service wildland fire management programs will continue
to strengthen oversight and accountability of suppression spending and use risk management principles to guide decision-making
at the strategic, program, and operational levels.

Fire Risk Management.—Is a new program activity proposed in FY 2016. It funds two programs, Fuels Management and Resilient Landscapes, previously
included within Other Operations. The Fuels Management program conducts treatments aimed at mitigating risk to communities
and their values, including areas in the wildland urban interface. The Resilient Landscapes program will conduct treatments
that improve the integrity and resilience of our forests and rangelands. These treatments will be coordinated with and receive
support, including bureau matching funds, from resource management programs of the Interior fire bureaus. The Fire Risk management
activity will contribute community adaption to fire and improve the ability to safely and appropriately respond to wildfire.
The budgets for the Fire Risk Management activity cover the planning, operational aspects, and monitoring of treatments. Both
programs will utilize such treatment methods as prescribed fire, mechanical, chemical, and biological treatments or a combination
of methods.Other Operations._Funds all other aspects of the wildland fire management program, which includes Fire Facilities Construction and Maintenance,
Burned Area Rehabilitation, and Joint Fire Science. The Fire Facilities Construction and Maintenance program funds construction
and maintenance of facilities to house firefighters and equipment used in wildland firefighting, fuels management, and resilient
landscapes activities. Facilities funded in this activity include crew quarters, warehouses, fire caches, dispatch centers,
fire stations, engine storage, and aviation bases. The Burned Area Rehabilitation program begins the restoration process for
lands and resources damaged by wildland fires that would not return to fire adapted conditions without intervention. Soil
stabilization and the introduction of native and other desirable plant species are employed for up to three years following
containment of a fire to return severely-burned areas to appropriate fire regimes and resource conditions. The Joint Fire
Science subactivity funds the Department's share of the Joint Fire Science program, an interagency partnership that sponsors
and delivers applied research to assist field managers with fuels treatment, post-fire rehabilitation, smoke management and
many other related topics.

Amounts in the FLAME fund include the portion of the ten-year average of suppression obligations, adjusted for inflation,
intended to support the most severe, complex, and threatening fires. The Secretary may permit transfers from this account
to cover these extreme fire events. The Secretary may also transfer funds in the event that DOI has exhausted its suppression
resources due to an active fire season. In 2016, the Budget proposes to eliminate this account and will fund all suppression
activities in the Wildland Fire Management account, with a portion of the suppression funds requested within the discretionary
budget cap and a portion of the funds requested in a budget cap adjustment.
