DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Bureau of Land Management
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is charged with the multiple use management of natural resources on 245 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 the BLM and other surface ownerships. In addition, the BLM
has trust responsibilities on 56 million acres of Indian trust lands for mineral operations and cadastral (land) surveys.
The lands managed by the 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 the BLM to
sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
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)), $963,163,000, 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), 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 of authorizations.
In addition, $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 2018, so as to result in a final appropriation estimated at not more than $963,163,000, 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.
Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114–254). The amounts
included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

Land resources.—Provides for management of rangeland and forest resources; riparian areas; soil, water, and air activities; wild horses
and burros; and cultural resources.
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, 2018.
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 2018 Budget funds oil and gas management activities through a combination of direct appropriations
and permanent appropriations authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2015.
Return on Mineral Development on Federal Lands.—Mineral development on Federal lands contributes to the national economy. However, a long-standing challenge is to provide
a fair return to taxpayers for the use of their natural resources, without discouraging development. To meet this challenge
and prepare for the President's FY 2019 Budget, DOI will conduct a study to evaluate the production and development of hardrock
minerals from Federal lands. In carrying out this study, DOI will include an analysis of revenue recovered by other entities,
including other countries, which permit mining on their land. DOI will also consult with other appropriate agencies, such
as the Department of Agriculture. The findings will later be consolidated with ongoing efforts to improve agency management
and streamline permitting, as part of a broader package on natural resources produced from Federal lands.
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. No funds
are requested for Challenge Cost Share activities in 2018.
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 2018.

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

Permanent operating funds accounts include:
Operations and maintenance of quarters.—Funds in this account are used to maintain and repair the 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 the 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 the 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 the BLM, and 25 percent is to be used to address recreation projects on
the 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. With stewardship contracting, the BLM may
apply the value of timber or other forest products removed as an offset against the cost of services received, and monies
from a contract may be retained by the BLM. These monies are available for expenditure without further appropriation at project
sites.
Expenses, road maintenance deposits.—Users of certain roads under the 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. All recreation fee receipts collected under this authority at BLM sites are deposited to the Recreation Fee
account. The BLM returns 100 percent of these receipts back to the site where the fees were generated. The Administration
proposes a one-year extension of FLREA in appropriations language and legislation to permanently reauthorize this authority
currently set to expire on September 30, 2018.
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
the 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 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 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. In
2008, it was certified that sufficient funds had been collected to cover the cost of the cleanup and other expenses and no
more deposits were to be made to the Fund. New revenue from site operations is distributed under the Mineral Leasing Act.
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 the 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.
Federal land disposal.—The Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act, P.L. 106–248 (114 Stat. 613), provided authority for the BLM to sell public
lands 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 Administration proposes legislation to reauthorize the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act.
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 the 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 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 the 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.

Cancel Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act Account Balances. The budget assumes cancellation of $230 million in unobligated balances in the SNPLMA special account, which was enacted
in 1998 to authorize BLM to sell specified public lands around Las Vegas and retain the proceeds for capital improvements
and various conservation, restoration, and recreational purposes.
Reauthorize the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act. The budget assumes permanent reauthorization of FLTFA's land sale authority, allowing Interior to dispose of lands with
low conservation value. Interior would have authority to use the sales proceeds to fund the acquisition of land with high
conservation values and cover the BLM administrative costs associated with conducting the sales, consistent with the original
FLTFA mandate.

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). 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. The Secure Rural Schools Act (SRS Act) was reauthorized by section 524
of P.L. 114–10 for two years and signed into law by the President on April 16, 2015. In the absence of this authority or
for counties opting not to receive a portion of the USDA Forest Service payments to communities, eligible counties 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 the 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 the 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 the 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). These marine resources include 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. For offshore oil and gas, this includes conducting resource assessments; planning for the timing and location
of OCS areas that will be offered for leasing; conducting lease sales; permitting geological and geophysical activities; reviewing
and approving exploration and development plans; and conducting environmental reviews at multiple steps in the process. In
addition, BOEM supports planning, leasing, and permitting for OCS renewable energy development, as well as managing OCS sand
and gravel resources.
The Ocean Energy Management account includes the following budget activities: Renewable Energy, Conventional Energy, Environmental
Programs, 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, Federal agencies, and other stakeholders.
Conventional Energy.—Supports OCS oil and gas leasing, including development of the Five Year OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program; implementing the
lease sale process; administering leases; reviewing exploration and development plans and geological and geophysical permit
applications; conducting technical and economic resource evaluation; and engaging in planning activities involving minerals
other than oil and gas. The Risk Management Program is also funded through this activity.
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, the OCS Lands Act, and numerous
other environmental statutes, regulations, and executive orders. Also conducts specific studies that address information needs
associated with both conventional and renewable energy leasing activities on the Outer Continental Shelf.
Executive Direction.—Funds bureau-wide leadership, direction, management, coordination, communication strategies, and outreach. This includes
budget management, administrative services management, bureau-wide information technology management and governance, congressional
and public affairs, program policy and analysis, and international affairs.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) was established on October 1, 2011, to ensure the safe and responsible
development of our Nation's offshore energy resources. The Bureau is responsible for the oversight of exploration, development,
and production operations for oil and natural gas on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The Offshore Safety and Environmental
Enforcement (OSEE) account is BSEE's primary operating account and funds the following activities: Operations, Safety, and
Regulation; Environmental Enforcement; Administrative Operations; and Executive Direction.
Operations, Safety, and Regulation. Funds safety 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; 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.
Environmental Enforcement. Funds environmental compliance activities related to issuing permits; inspections of environmental measures and enforcement
of incidences of noncompliance, and monitoring industry compliance with mitigation and other environmental requirements through
office and field inspections.
Administrative Operations. Funds 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. Funds bureau-wide leadership, direction, management, coordination, communications strategies, and outreach. This includes
functions such as budget, congressional and public affairs, and policy and program analysis.

Environmental protection.—This activity funds functions that directly contribute to ensuring the environment is protected during surface coal mining
operations. It also addresses activities to ensure coal operators adequately reclaim the land after mining is completed.
Under this activity, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement provides grants and support to States to operate
enforcement programs on State and private lands under the terms of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977.
This activity also provides for the operation of enforcement programs on Federal and Indian lands, as well as Federal oversight
of these regulatory programs.
Technology development and transfer.—This activity provides funding to enhance the technical skills that States and Indian Tribes need to operate their regulatory
programs. It provides technical tools, such as the Applicant Violator System, to States and Indian Tribes to solve problems
related to the environmental effects of coal mining and technical assistance to address specific coal mining issues.
Financial management.—This activity provides resources for managing, accounting, and processing collections and for pursuing delinquent civil
penalties. This includes developing and maintaining information management systems that support these functions and enhance
the agency's ability to deny new mining permits to applicants with unabated State or Federal violations.
Executive direction and administration.—This activity provides funding for executive direction, general administrative support, and the acquisition of certain agency-wide
common services, such as rent, telephones, and postage.

Environmental restoration.—This activity funds those functions that contribute to reclaiming lands affected by past coal mining practices. This activity
provides discretionary funding for the Federal reclamation program for watershed restoration projects and for the evaluation
of State and tribal reclamation programs that now receive mandatory funding for reclamation activities. This activity also
provides for the operation of Federal reclamation programs for activities in those states without their own reclamation programs.
Technology development and transfer.—This activity provides funding to enhance the technical skills States and Indian Tribes need to operate their reclamation
programs. The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) provides technical assistance on mining and reclamation-related
problems.
Financial management.—This activity provides funds to identify, notify, collect, and audit fees from coal operators for the Abandoned Mine Reclamation
Fund. The OSMRE seeks to maximize voluntary compliance with the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act's reclamation fee
provisions.
Executive direction and administration.— This activity provides funding for executive direction, general administrative support, and the acquisition of certain
agency-wide common services such as rent, telephones, and postage.

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.
Bureau of Reclamation
Appropriations to the Bureau are made from the General Fund and special Funds. Among the projects funded from the General
Fund are the Colorado River Basin Project and the Colorado River Storage Project. 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; can finance program activities that directly benefit the 17 Western States and are for the purposes
authorized under "Reclamation Law". Amounts from the Central Valley Project Restoration Fund, consisting of revenues from
project beneficiaries; 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; are also available to support Bureau of Reclamation projects and programs. Non-Federal entities also
advance funds for operation and maintenance and provide funds under the Contributed Funds Act. The 2018 estimates are summarized

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, a water balance cannot be achieved without water conservation and water reuse.
In 2018 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 water supply and demand factors; 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
to implement 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.

Bureau of Reclamation Loan Program Account
Under the Small Reclamation Projects Act, loans and grants can be made to non-Federal organizations for construction of small
water resource projects.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, the loan program account records the subsidy costs associated with the
direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond, as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated
on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.
No funds are requested for the Reclamation Loan Program for direct loans or Loan Program Administration for 2018.

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.
Land Resources.—The USGS Land Resources mission area delivers objective research, data, and analyses of changes in land and the forces that
act upon it. The mission area operates through partnerships with governmental and non-governmental entities to provide for
the research, monitoring, and remote sensing capabilities, including Landsat, necessary to understand, monitor and detect
changes that affect the Nation's resources, economy, national security, and associated heritage. The resulting research and
products are provided as an objective foundation upon which the public, natural resource managers, and policymakers can make
informed decisions about the nation's natural resources, built and natural landscapes, and how they might be adapted to secure
the Nation's interests.
Energy and Mineral Resources.—The USGS Energy and Mineral Resources mission area conducts research on the location, quantity, and quality of the Nation's
and the world's energy and mineral resources. The mission area provides valuable science to better understand the Nation's
mineral and energy resource potential, supply, production, consumption and impacts of development. Accurate scientific information
about America's energy and mineral resources is critical, as our Nation depends on energy to power our homes and businesses
and minerals to manufacture products we rely on every day, from our cell phones and laptops to the cars we drive. The science
provided by the mission area is also used to make large-scale geopolitical decisions about U.S. trade policy, and on a more
local scale, to understand the mineral and energy resources available in various parts of our Nation.
Environmental Health.—The USGS Environmental Health mission area conducts scientific activities that enhance the Nation's health and resource
security, helping minimize threats to natural resources critical to the Nation's economy and prosperity. The USGS Environmental
Health mission area is the primary Federal source of unbiased, non-regulatory science that stakeholders—including all levels
of government and private industry— use to address complex challenges. The mission area provides science to support decision
making related to: natural resource security; environmental, wildlife, and human health; land and resource management; and
economic development.
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, 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 provides a broad range of nationally-focused science and data about the Earth
and its natural resources. This includes topographic mapping, including the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP); three-dimensional
geologic mapping and geologic frameworks; biological occurrence and taxonomic analyses; high-performance computational analytics
and synthesis; and the preservation and archiving of geological, geophysical, and paleontological samples. Core Science Systems
provides topographic, biological, and hydrographic information to meet the growing demand for precise representations of natural
and man-made features for infrastructure development, natural hazards and flood risk mitigation, energy and minerals development,
agriculture, and national security. As the Federal steward of this high-quality geospatial data, Core Sciences Systems provides
this information to the public through The National Map.
Science Support.—The USGS Science Support program funds essential science leadership as well as critical functions such as: scientific integrity
processes; sharing and communicating science findings; purchasing science equipment and field supplies; executing science
agreements with partners; contracting for support scientists and researchers; safety training; hazardous waste management;
succession planning and execution; and information technology, which supports the scientific process and information management
of scientific data. Science Support also provides Bureau-wide executive direction and coordination, business administration
and financial management.
Facilities.—The USGS Facilities program 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 deferred
maintenance and capital improvement for owned 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 566 refuges, waterfowl production areas in 209 counties
managed by 38 wetland management districts, 50 wildlife coordination areas, and seven national monuments. 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 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 domestic
and international partners to promote a coordinated 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 a network of 72 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 address adaptive management
problems affecting fish, wildlife, and plants. The budget does not include funding for this activity in FY 2018.
Science Support. —Science Support provides funding for applied science directed at high impact questions surrounding threats to fish and
wildlife resources. This science provides needed information to inform regulatory and policy decisions to best manage species
at healthy and sustainable levels across broader landscapes. The budget does not include funding for this activity in FY 2018.
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 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. Funding for
State competitive grants is not included in the 2018 request.

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 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service places emphasis on acquiring important fish, wildlife, and plant
habitat for the conservation of listed endangered and threatened species, implementing the North American Waterfowl Management
Plan, and conserving migratory birds of conservation concern. 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.

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 U.S. Postal Service
expenses from the sale of Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamps, also known as 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 Federal Duck Stamp Act
(P.L. 113–264) increased the price of Duck Stamps from $15 to $25, with the $10 increase to be dedicated to the acquisition
of conservation easements for conservation of migratory birds.

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 obtaining 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 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. Funding from the Land and Water
Conservation Fund for land acquisition grants is not proposed in the 2018 request.

The Refuge Revenue Sharing Act (16 U.S.C. 715s) authorizes the Service to make payments to counties in which Fish and Wildlife
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 2018 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 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 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 2018 Budget includes appropriations language to reauthorize the program for one year, and proposes legislation
to permanently authorize the recreational fee programs of the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture under FLREA.

The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669 et seq.), also 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 (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 (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 Fish and Wildlife Service.

The Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act, also 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 (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 for the Fish and Wildlife Service and the United States Coast Guard,
special commissions, and the Boating Council, be distributed to support the following:
The Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 3951 et seq.).—18.673 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
for priority project and conservation planning activities in Louisiana; 15 percent to the Fish and Wildlife Service for coastal
wetlands conservation grants; and 15 percent to the Fish and Wildlife Service for wetlands conservation projects per the North
American Wetlands Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 4407).
Boating Safety Programs.—17.315 percent of net deposits are to be made available to the United States Coast Guard for State recreational boating
safety programs.
Boating Infrastructure Improvement.—4 percent of net deposits are to be made available to the Secretary of the Interior to make grants to 1) 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 or 2) 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

The National Park Service administers 417 units and over 84.7 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 2016, park visits totaled 324 million.
This annual appropriation funds the operation of areas and facilities administered under 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. In addition, this
account contains reimbursable activity such as recovery of costs associated with special use permits.
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 commercial services 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.

Centennial Challenge funds are used to complete projects with partner donations. All Federal funds must be matched on a 50/50
basis, derived from non-Federal sources in the form of cash, assets, or a pledge of donation guaranteed by an irrevocable
letter of credit. Projects are administered under existing NPS partnership authorities. The National Park Service Centennial
Act (P.L. 114–289) established a National Park Centennial Challenge Fund for signature projects and programs related to visitor
services facilities and trail maintenance, funded through offsetting collections exceeding $10 million from America the Beautiful
Senior Pass.

The National Recreation and Preservation appropriation covers a broad range of activities relating to outdoor recreation planning,
preservation of natural, cultural and historic resources, and environmental compliance. These programs provide a central point
at the Federal level for recreation and preservation planning; the coordination of Federal and State policies, procedures
and guidelines; and the administration of technical and financial assistance to international, Federal, State, and local governments
and private organizations. This appropriation is comprised of the following seven budget activities:
Recreation Programs.—Provides technical assistance to State and local governments and transfers surplus Federal real property to local governments
for recreation uses. The Fiscal Year 2018 Budget proposes to transfer Recreation Programs from its own activity to the Natural
Programs activity as a separate program component.
Natural Programs.—Increases river and trail opportunities through Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance, State and local technical assistance
and Chesapeake Bay Gateway and Water Trails grants; creates river conservation and recreational opportunities that are compatible
with continuing and future operations of hydropower facilities, fulfills National Park Service responsibilities under the
Federal Power Act, and protects park resources through the Hydropower Recreation Assistance Program; and manages the National
Natural Landmark program. The Federal Lands to Parks program is proposed for transfer to this activity from Recreation Programs
in the Fiscal Year 2018 Budget.
Cultural Programs.—Manages the National Register of Historic Places; reviews and certifies applications for Federal Tax Credits for Historic
Preservation as a reimbursable activity; conducts cultural resources management planning through the National Historic Landmarks
program, the Historic American Buildings Survey, the Historic American Engineering Record and the Historic American Landscapes
Survey programs; and advances the application of science and technology in historic preservation and provides information
distribution and skills training in the preservation and conservation of the Nation's significant historic and cultural resources
through the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training. Grant administration is proposed for transfer to this
activity in the Fiscal Year 2018 Budget. This program element will support the American Battlefield Protection Program Assistance
Grants program, the Japanese American Confinement Site Grants program, and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation
Grants program.
Environmental Compliance and Review.—Provides review and commentary on environmental impact statements, Federal licensing, permit applications, and other actions
that may impact areas of National Park Service jurisdiction.
Grants Administration.—Provides administrative expenses associated with the Historic Preservation Fund grant programs, the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Grants program, the Japanese American Confinement Sites Grants, and the American Battlefield Protection
Program Assistance Grants. The Fiscal Year 2018 Budget proposes to transfer Grants Administration from its own activity to
the Cultural Programs activity as a separate program component.
International Park Affairs.—Coordinates international assistance programs and the exchange and support functions that complement the Service's domestic
role.
Heritage Partnership Programs.—Provides financial and technical assistance to Congressionally designated national heritage areas, managed by private or
State organizations to promote the conservation of natural, historic, scenic, and cultural resources. The Fiscal Year 2018
Budget does not request funding for financial assistance for this program.

Urban Park and Recreation Fund
The Urban Park Recreation Recovery Act of 1978 authorizes matching grants and technical assistance to eligible economically
distressed urban communities to revitalize and improve recreation opportunities. The program provides direct Federal grants
to local governments to rehabilitate existing indoor and outdoor recreation facilities; to demonstrate innovative ways to
enhance park and recreation opportunities; and to develop local Recovery Action Plans to identify needs, priorities and strategies
for revitalization of the total recreation system. Last funded in FY 2004, minimal balances remain.
Construction
For construction, improvements, repair, or replacement of physical facilities, and compliance and planning for programs and areas administered by the National Park Service, $226,529,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That, notwithstanding any other provision of law, for any project initially funded in fiscal year 2018 with a future phase indicated in the National Park Service 5-Year Line Item Construction Plan, a single procurement may be
issued which includes the full scope of the project: Provided further, That the solicitation and contract shall contain the clause availability of funds found at 48 CFR 52.232–18: Provided further, That National Park Service Donations, Park Concessions Franchise Fees, and Recreation Fees may be made available for the
cost of adjustments and changes within the original scope of effort for projects funded by the National Park Service Construction
appropriation: Provided further, That the Secretary of the Interior shall consult with the Committees on Appropriations, in accordance with current reprogramming
thresholds, prior to making any charges authorized by this section.
Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114–254). The amounts
included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

The Construction appropriation provides support to several National Park Service mission goals, including preserving park
resources, providing for visitor enjoyment, and improving organizational effectiveness. In addition, this account contains
activity related to reimbursable agreements.
The Construction appropriation is composed of five budget activities:
Line item construction.—This activity provides for the construction, rehabilitation, and replacement of facilities needed to accomplish the management
objectives approved for each park.
Special programs.—This activity includes Emergency and Unscheduled Projects, Employee Housing, Dam Safety, and Equipment Replacement.
Construction planning.—This activity includes the project planning function to prepare working drawings, specification documents, and contracts
needed to construct or rehabilitate National Park Service facilities.
Construction program management and operations.—This activity provides centralized design and engineering management services, as well as contracting services for park
construction projects.
Management planning.—Under this activity, funding is used to prepare and update Unit Management Plans. The plans guide National Park Service
actions for the protection, use, development, and management of each park unit. Funding also is used to conduct studies of
alternatives for the protection of areas that may have potential for addition to the National Park System and for environmental
impact planning and compliance.

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:
Acquisition Management.—Provides for the administration of land acquisitions throughout the National Park System, ensuring compliance with existing
guidelines and laws and provides for the administration of American Battlefield Protection Program Acquisition Grants.
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 Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and Civil War Battlefield lands by non-Federal
entities. Funding for major land acquisition projects is not requested for Fiscal Year 2018.
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.—Provides matching grants to States and local units of government for the acquisition and development of land and facilities
that provide the public access to new opportunities to engage in outdoor recreation. The program includes both traditional
formula and competitive grant programs for States. Appropriated funding for this program is not requested for Fiscal Year
2018 in anticipation of estimated increases in GOMESA lease revenue.
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 certain oil
and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico 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 Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (P.L. 114–113) permits the use of up to three
percent of the amounts authorized to be disbursed for costs of administration. FY 2017 is the first year of revenue sharing
for Phase II leases authorized by GOMESA.

Land Acquisition and State Assistance
(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)
Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (GOMESA) funding — The Budget proposes to repeal the allocation formulation for Land and Water Conservation Fund State Grants and payments
to Gulf Coast states (TX, LA, MS, and AL) established by the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006 (P.L. 109–432). The
allocated formula for LWCF State Grants will be replaced by a comparable fixed annual mandatory appropriation of $90 million
in FY 2018, increasing to $125 million in FY 2022 and each year thereafter, to be derived from the Land and Water Conservation
Fund.

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, which authorized this program through 2014. Section
133 of the Continuing Appropriations and Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act,
2017, and Zika Response and Preparedness Act (P.L. 114–223) extended FLREA through fiscal year 2018. The Administration proposes
appropriations language to extend the authorization for one year and a legislative proposal to permanently reauthorize the
Department of the Interior's and the Department of Agriculture's recreation fee programs in fiscal year 2018. 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. The National Park Service Centennial Act (P.L. 114–289) established in the National Park
Foundation a Second Century Endowment for NPS projects and activities, funded through offsetting collections from the first
$10 million collected in each fiscal year, generated from the America the Beautiful Senior Pass.
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.
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. In addition
to the traditional grants-in-aid described above, the account includes competitive grant programs. This includes grants for
the survey and nomination of properties associated with communities currently underrepresented in the National Register and
as National Historic Landmarks, and grants to preserve the sites and stories of the Civil Rights Movement. Funding for Competitive
Grants is not requested in the Fiscal Year 2018 Budget.

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. The National Park Service Centennial Act, P.L. 114–289, establishes a new concessions contracting authority
within NPS for providing visitor services and establishes a revolving fund from funds received from these contracts to be
used for the management, operation, constructions and maintenance of commercial visitor services and facilities.
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.
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 fees 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.

The Operation of Indian Programs appropriation consists of a wide range of services and benefits provided primarily to Federally-recognized
Indian Tribes, Alaskan Native groups, and individual American Indians and Alaska Natives, to fulfill Federal trust and treaty
responsibilities and support tribal self-determination and nation building.
This account covers expenses associated with the following activities:
Tribal Government.—This activity promotes the sovereignty of Federally-recognized Tribes by supporting and assisting them in the development
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, 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 and related treaty rights. 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) funded elementary and secondary school operations, other education
programs for elementary-aged Indian children, tribal post-secondary schools, scholarships and adult education programs, education
program management, and operations 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 Development, and Community Development. This activity also provides assistance for renewable and conventional energy
and hard mineral development for the economic benefit of the Tribes and individual Indian allottees.
Executive direction and administrative services.—This activity supports the management of BIA's and BIE's finance, budget, acquisition, and property functions, as well as
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
Tribes to run tribal and Federal programs. Funding also supports BIA or BIE oversight and technical assistance for these activities
in central and regional offices.

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 2018 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,
such as for transportation or other impacts to students such as those caused by busing students extended distances: Provided, That no funds available under this Act may be used to fund operations, maintenance, rehabilitation, construction or other
facilities-related costs for such assets that are not owned by the Bureau: Provided further, That the term "satellite school" means a school location physically separated from the existing Bureau school by more than
50 miles but that forms part of the existing school in all other respects.

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 modeling, 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. The
FY 2018 budget proposes a separate account for the Office of Natural Resources Revenue programs to increase the transparency
of this important function.

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. These payments are administered by Interior's Office of Natural
Resources Revenue.
Mineral Leasing and Associated Payments
(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge development. —The Administration proposes legislation to open the coastal plain (the "1002 area") of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
(ANWR) for oil and gas leasing, expected to generate $1.8 billion over ten years for the U.S. Treasury. The Budget assumes
lease sales would begin around 2022/2023, allowing adequate time for the completion of appropriate environmental reviews and
an updated assessment of the state of the oil and gas markets and lease bidding potential prior to scheduling specific lease
sales. Additional lease sale(s) would be held in the 2026/2027 timeframe. Revenues would be shared equally with the State
of Alaska, with most of the savings over the next ten years derived from bonus bids paid during the lease sales. Additional
revenues would be generated in the future from royalties.

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 Interior's 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 administered by Interior's Office of Natural Resources Revenue.

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.)
to provide 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 Interior's Office of Natural Resources Revenue. The Administration proposes legislation which would change
the allocation to eliminate the 25 percent payments to counties.

Repeal geothermal payments to counties.—The Budget proposes legislation to repeal Section 224(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and permanently discontinue the
25 percent geothermal lease revenue sharing payments to counties. The legislation proposes to restore the traditional 50/50
Federal-State revenue sharing arrangement. This proposal is estimated to generate savings of $37 million over ten years to
the U.S. Treasury.

Texas) and their local governments under the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006 (GOMESA, P.L. 109–432) beginning in
FY 2019. This proposal is expected to generate $3.5 billion over ten years for the U.S. Treasury. Federal waters belong to
all Americans, so the returns from development should come back to all taxpayers. As part of this proposal, the current allocation
formula directing revenue to Land and Water Conservation Fund State Grants would be changed to provide a comparable annual
mandatory appropriation of $90 million in FY 2018, increasing to $125 million in FY 2022 and each year thereafter, to be derived
from the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

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.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
Administrative provisions
For fiscal year 2018, up to $400,000 of the payments authorized by chapter 69 of title 31, United States Code, may be retained for administrative expenses of the Payments in Lieu of Taxes Program: Provided, That the amounts provided under this Act specifically for the Payments in Lieu of Taxes program are the only amounts available
for payments authorized under chapter 69 of title 31, United States Code: Provided further, That in the event the sums appropriated
for any fiscal year for payments pursuant to this chapter are insufficient to make the full payments authorized by that chapter
to all units of local government, then the payment to each local government shall be made proportionally: Provided further,
That the Secretary may make adjustments to payment to individual units of local government to correct for prior overpayments
or underpayments: Provided further, That no payment shall be made pursuant to that chapter to otherwise eligible units of local government if the computed amount of the payment is less than $100.
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. Funding
for the program is proposed in a separate account within Department-Wide programs.
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.
Federal Funds
Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands
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, $3,286,000, 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.
Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114–254). The amounts
included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

The peoples of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of Palau approved
Compacts of Free Association negotiated by the United States and their governments. The Compact of Free Association Act of
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 2017 have continued financial assistance to Palau at 2009 levels.
Under the 1994 U.S.-Palau Compact of Free Association and the related 2010 Compact Review Agreement (CRA), the United States
agreed to provide economic assistance to the Government of Palau. The Compact provides significant strategic value to the
United States in achieving national security objectives through the exclusive U.S. access to Palau's land, water and air space.
The Budget request for the Department of Defense includes $123.9 million to bring the CRA into force and satisfy the outstanding
commitment to Palau. This funding will be transferred to the Department of the Interior.

P.L. 95–348 requires that certain revenues collected by the U.S. Treasury involving Guam and the Virgin Islands (income taxes
withheld and excise taxes) be paid prior to the start of the fiscal year of collection. The Budget includes funds for these
advance payments.
Assistance to territories
For expenses necessary for assistance to territories under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior and other jurisdictions
identified in section 104(e) of Public Law 108–188, $80,967,000, of which: (1) $71,537,000 shall remain available until expended for territorial assistance, including general technical assistance, maintenance assistance,
disaster assistance, coral reef initiative activities, and brown tree snake control and research; grants to the judiciary
in American Samoa for compensation and expenses, as authorized by law (48 U.S.C. 1661(c)); grants to the Government of American
Samoa, in addition to current local revenues, for construction and support of governmental functions; grants to the Government
of the Virgin Islands, as authorized by law; grants to the Government of Guam, as authorized by law; and grants to the Government of the Northern
Mariana Islands, as authorized by law (Public Law 94–241; 90 Stat. 272); and (2) $9,430,000 shall be available until September 30, 2019, for salaries and expenses of the Office of Insular Affairs: Provided, That all financial transactions of the territorial and local governments herein provided for, including such transactions
of all agencies or instrumentalities established or used by such governments, may be audited by the Government Accountability
Office, at its discretion, in accordance with chapter 35 of title 31, United States Code: Provided further, That Northern Mariana Islands Covenant grant funding shall be provided according to those terms of the Agreement of the
Special Representatives on Future United States Financial Assistance for the Northern Mariana Islands approved by Public Law
104–134: Provided further, That the funds for the program of operations and maintenance improvement are appropriated to institutionalize routine operations
and maintenance improvement of capital infrastructure with territorial participation and cost sharing to be determined by
the Secretary based on the grantee's commitment to timely maintenance of its capital assets: Provided further, That any appropriation for disaster assistance under this heading in this Act or previous appropriations Acts may be used
as non-Federal matching funds for the purpose of hazard mitigation grants provided pursuant to section 404 of the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5170c).
Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the

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 Americans care about most.

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act established the National Indian Gaming Commission as an independent federal regulatory agency
within the Department of the Interior. The purpose of the IGRA and the NIGC is to support and promote tribal economic development,
self-sufficiency and strong tribal governments through the operation of gaming on Indian lands. The Commission collaborates
with tribes to monitor and regulate gaming activities conducted on Indian Lands to ensure that gaming operations are conducted
with integrity and that tribes are the primary beneficiaries of gaming revenues. IGRA authorizes the Commission to assess
and collect fees on tribal gaming revenues to cover agency operating costs.

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 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 (P.L. 112–141) 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 with a combination of
discretionary and mandatory funds. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 (P.L. 114–113) provides discretionary PILT
funding under the Office of the Secretary, Departmental Operations account to extend payment authority through 2016. The FY
2018 Budget proposes discretionary funding for PILT payments.

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.
The Central Hazardous Materials Fund is used to fund remedial investigations and cleanups of hazardous waste sites for which
the Department of the Interior is liable. The program also has authority to collect and retain amounts recovered from responsible
parties within this account.
The FY 2018 Budget proposes the orderly drawdown of the Central Hazardous Materials program's annual appropriations. The Department
proposes to develop an implementation plan in 2018 to fund program management staff and remedial investigations and cleanups
using amounts recovered from responsible parties rather than annual discretionary appropriations.

Under the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration Fund (Restoration Fund), natural resource damage assessments
are performed 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.

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, and rural
fire readiness, in which assistance is provided to local cooperators to enhance their capacity to protect remote communities
and natural resources. 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. Generally, emergency stabilization actions may be performed within
one year of containment of a fire, however, exceptions to this time limit are allowed under certain circumstances. In FY 2010
through 2016, funding for the ten-year average of inflation-adjusted suppression obligations was split between the FLAME Wildfire
Suppression Reserve Fund and this appropriation. The 2018 Budget request proposes to fund 100 percent of the ten-year average
within the Wildland Fire Management account and discontinue funding requests in the FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund.
The FLAME account will be closed out as current balances in the account are drawn down. 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.
Fuels Management.—The 2018 Budget proposes to establish the Fuels Management program as a budget activity, elevating it from its current position
as a subactivity under Other Operations. The Fuels Management program conducts treatments aimed at mitigating risk to communities
and their values, including areas in the wildland urban interface. This activity may also conduct treatments that improve
the integrity and resilience of our forests and rangelands. The Fuels Management activity will contribute community adaption
to fire and improve the ability to safely and appropriately respond to wildfire. Funding for the Fuels Management activity
covers the planning, operational aspects, and monitoring of fuels treatments. The program 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 and fuels management activities.
The 2018 Budget proposes to discontinue funding for the Fire Facilities Construction and Maintenance program. In the future,
funding for these facilities will appear in the Department's fire-related bureaus' construction and deferred maintenance budgets.
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, or up to five years under certain circumstances, 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.

In 2010 through 2016, amounts in the FLAME Fund included 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 DOI has exhausted its
suppression resources due to an active fire season. In FY 2018, the Budget proposes to discontinue funding requests in the
FLAME Fund. All funding for suppression activities is requested in the Wildland Fire Management account. The FLAME account
will be closed out as current balances are drawn down.
