________________________________________________________________________
As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the 
Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public 
lands and natural resources.

[[Page 320]]




[[Page 321]]

This includes fostering sound use of our land and water resources; 
assessing and protecting our fish, wildlife, and biological diversity; 
preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks 
and historical places; and providing for the enjoyment of life through 
outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our mineral resources and 
works to ensure that their development is in the best interests of all 
our people by encouraging stewardship and citizen participation in their 
care. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian 
reservation communities and for people who live in island territories 
under United States administration.

    The Department of the Interior was created by act of March 3, 1849 
(43 U.S.C. 1451), which transferred to it the General Land Office, the 
Office of Indian Affairs, the Pension Office, and the Patent Office. It 
was reorganized by Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950, as amended (5 
U.S.C. app.).
    Over the years, other functions have been added and removed, so that 
its role has changed from that of general housekeeper for the Federal 
Government to that of custodian of the Nation's natural resources.

Office of the Secretary

Secretary  The Secretary of the Interior reports directly to the 
President and is responsible for the direction and supervision of all 
operations and activities of the Department. The Office of the Secretary 
includes the offices of Deputy Secretary, the Assistant Secretaries, and 
Inspector General. Some areas where public purposes are broadly applied 
include:
Fish and Wildlife and Parks  The Assistant Secretary for Fish and 
Wildlife and Parks discharges the duties of the Secretary with the 
authority and direct responsibility for programs associated with 
conservation in the use of natural and cultural resources; and the 
enhancement, protection, and monitoring of fish, wildlife, vegetation, 
and habitat. The Assistant Secretary represents the Department in the 
coordination of marine environmental quality and biological resources 
programs with other Federal agencies. The Assistant Secretary also 
exercises Secretarial direction and supervision over the United States 
Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Biological Service, and the 
National Park Service.
Water and Science  The Assistant Secretary (Water and Science) 
discharges the duties of the Secretary with the authority and direct 
responsibility to carry out the statutory mandate to manage and direct 
programs that support the development and implementation of water, 
mineral, and science policies and assist the development of economically 
and environmentally sound resource activities. The Assistant Secretary 
oversees the programs of the Bureau of Reclamation, the United States 
Bureau of Mines, and the United States Geological Survey.
    The Office of the Assistant Secretary provides advice on Earth 
science matters to the Secretary and represents the Department of the 
Interior in interagency efforts on a range of scientific issues.
Land and Minerals Management  The Assistant Secretary (Land and Minerals 
Management) discharges the duties of the Secretary with the authority 
and direct responsibility for programs associated with public land 
management; operations management and leasing for minerals on public 
lands, including the Outer Continental Shelf to the outer limits of the 
United States economic jurisdiction; minerals operations management on 
Indian lands; surface mining reclamation and enforcement functions; and 
management of revenues from Federal and Indian mineral leases.
    The Assistant Secretary exercises Secretarial direction and 
supervision over the Bureau of Land Management, the Minerals Management 
Service, and the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement.
Indian Affairs  The Assistant Secretary (Indian Affairs) discharges the 
authority and responsibility of the Secretary for 

[[Page 322]]
activities pertaining to Indians and Indian affairs. The Assistant 
Secretary is responsible for exercising Secretarial direction and 
supervision over the Bureau of Indian Affairs by:
    --providing the Secretary with detailed and objective advice on 
matters involving Indians and Indian affairs;
    --identifying and acting on issues affecting Indian policy and 
programs;
    --establishing policy on Indian affairs;
    --maintaining liaison and coordination between the Department of the 
Interior and other Federal agencies that provide services or funding to 
Indians;
    --representing the Department in transactions with Congress;
    --monitoring and evaluating ongoing activities related to Indian 
affairs; and
    --undertaking or providing leadership in special assignments and 
projects for the Secretary.
Territorial and International Affairs  The Office of the Assistant 
Secretary (Territorial and International Affairs) was established by 
Secretarial Order 3046 of February 14, 1980. The Assistant Secretary 
discharges the authority and responsibility of the Secretary for 
activities pertaining to U.S. insular areas and the Freely Associated 
States (Republic of the Marshall Islands and Federated States of 
Micronesia) and for the coordination of international affairs of the 
Department.
    The Assistant Secretary is responsible for building mutually 
beneficial partnerships to facilitate locally determined economic, 
social, and political development in the U.S. insular areas of Guam, 
American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern 
Mariana Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands 
(Republic of Palau). The degree to which the Office conducts activities 
to further these objectives in a specific insular area depends on the 
status of the local government, its relationship to the Secretary of the 
Interior, and the extent of development already achieved within the 
insular area.
    In consultation with the Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian 
and Pacific Affairs, who is responsible for government-to-government 
relations with the Freely Associated States, the Assistant Secretary for 
Territorial and International Affairs is responsible for general 
oversight of all Federal programs provided to the Freely Associated 
States of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States 
of Micronesia under the Compact of Free Association.
    The Assistant Secretary also serves as the Department's focal point 
for analysis, development, and review of the Department's policy and 
programs pertaining to international activities and the opportunities 
for support of U.S. foreign policy through the use of the Department's 
natural resource and environmental expertise.

For further information, contact the Office of Territorial and 
International Affairs, Department of the Interior, Washington, DC 20240. 
Phone, 202-208-4822.

Policy, Management and Budget  The Assistant Secretary (Policy, 
Management and Budget) discharges the authority of the Secretary for all 
phases of management and administrative activities, serves as the 
principal policy adviser to the Secretary, and is the Department's Chief 
Financial Officer.

Office of the Solicitor

The Office of the Solicitor performs all of the legal work of the 
Department with the exception of that performed by the Office of 
Hearings and Appeals, the Office of Congressional and Legislative 
Affairs, and the Office of Inspector General. The Solicitor is the 
principal legal advisor to the Secretary and the chief law officer of 
the Department.
    The headquarters office, located in Washington, DC, consists of five 
Divisions. The Division of Conservation and Wildlife is responsible for 
legal matters involving the programs of the Assistant Secretary for Fish 
and Wildlife and Parks, the National Park Service, the National 
Biological Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Division 
of Energy and Resources is responsible for legal matters involving the 
programs of the Assistant Secretary (Water and Science), the Assistant 
Secretary (Land and Minerals Management), the Bureau 

[[Page 323]]
of Land Management, the United States Bureau of Mines, the United 
States Geological Survey, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the Minerals 
Management Service. The Division of Indian Affairs is responsible for 
legal matters involving the programs of the Assistant Secretary (Indian 
Affairs) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Division of Surface 
Mining provides legal advice to the Assistant Secretary (Land and 
Minerals Management) on surface mining matters and to the Office of 
Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement. The Division of General Law 
is responsible for general administrative law and legal matters 
involving programs under the jurisdiction of the Office of the 
Secretary, the Assistant Secretary (Policy, Management and Budget), and 
the Office for Equal Opportunity. Administrative and support services 
for the Office of the Solicitor are provided by the Division of 
Administration.
    The field organization of the Office is divided into seven regions, 
each headed by a Regional Solicitor.

Bureaus

United States Fish and Wildlife Service

[For the United States Fish and Wildlife Service statement of 
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 50, Subchapter 
A, Part 2]

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service's national responsibility in 
the service of fish, wildlife, and people spans more than 120 years to 
the establishment in 1871 of a predecessor agency, the Bureau of 
Fisheries. First created as an independent agency, the Bureau of 
Fisheries was later placed in the Department of Commerce. A second 
predecessor agency, the Bureau of Biological Survey, was established in 
1885 in the Department of Agriculture.
    In 1939 the two Bureaus and their functions were transferred to the 
Department of the Interior. They were consolidated into one agency and 
redesignated the Fish and Wildlife Service in 1940 by Reorganization 
Plan III (5 U.S.C. app.).
    Further reorganization came in 1956 when the Fish and Wildlife Act 
(16 U.S.C. 742a) created the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and 
provided for it to replace and succeed the former Fish and Wildlife 
Service. The Act established two Bureaus within the new Service: the 
Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and 
Wildlife.
    In 1970, under Reorganization Plans 3 and 4 (5 U.S.C. app.), the 
Bureau of Commercial Fisheries was transferred to the Department of 
Commerce. The Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, which remained in 
Interior, was 

[[Page 325]]
renamed by an act of Congress in April 1974 (16 U.S.C. 742b) as the 
United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
    The Service is composed of a headquarters office in Washington, DC, 
7 regional offices, and a variety of field units and installations. 
These include more than 500 national wildlife refuges and 166 waterfowl 
production areas totaling more than 92 million acres; 78 national fish 
hatcheries; and a nationwide network of wildlife law enforcement agents.
    The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for 
migratory birds, endangered species, certain marine mammals, and inland 
sport fisheries. Its mission is to conserve, protect, and enhance fish 
and wildlife and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the 
American people. Within this framework, the Service strives to foster an 
environmental stewardship ethic based on ecological principles and 
scientific knowledge of wildlife; works with the States to improve the 
conservation and management of the Nation's fish and wildlife resources; 
and administers a national program providing opportunities to the 
American public to understand, appreciate, and wisely use these 
resources.
    In the area of resource management, the Service provides leadership 
for the protection and improvement of land and water environments 
(habitat preservation), which directly benefits the living natural 
resources and adds quality to human life. Activities include:
    --surveillance of pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants;
    --studies of fish and wildlife populations;
    --ecological studies;
    --environmental impact assessment, including hydroelectric dams, 
nuclear power sites, stream channelization, and dredge-and-fill permits; 
and
    --environmental impact statement review.
    The Service is responsible for improving and maintaining fish and 
wildlife resources by proper management of wildlife and habitat. It also 
helps fulfilling the public demand for recreational fishing while 
maintaining the Nation's fisheries at a level and in a condition that 
will ensure their continued survival. Specific wildlife and fishery 
resources programs include:
    --migratory birds: wildlife refuge management for production, 
migration, and wintering; law enforcement; game, bird population, 
production, and harvest surveys;
    --mammals and nonmigratory birds: refuge management of resident 
species, law enforcement, protection of certain marine mammals, and 
technical assistance;
    --coastal anadromous fish: hatchery production and stocking;
    --Great Lakes fisheries: hatchery production of lake trout and 
fishery management in cooperation with Canada and the States; and
    --other inland fisheries: hatchery production and stocking of Indian 
lands, and technical assistance.
    The Service provides national and international leadership in 
identifying, protecting, and restoring endangered species of fish, 
wildlife, and plants. This program includes:
    --developing the Federal Endangered and Threatened Species List, 
conducting of status surveys, preparing recovery plans, and coordinating 
efforts nationally and internationally;
    --operating national wildlife refuges;
    --law enforcement;
    --foreign importation enforcement; and
    --consultation with foreign countries.
    Public use and information programs include preparing leaflets and 
brochures; operating environmental study areas on Service lands for use 
by school groups and teachers; operating visitor centers, self-guided 
nature trails, observation towers, and display ponds; and providing 
recreational activities, such as hunting, fishing, and wildlife 
photography.
    The Service's Federal aid programs apportion funds generated by 
excise taxes on sporting arms and equipment to the States and 
territories for projects designed to conserve and enhance the Nation's 
fish and wildlife resources.

amended (30 U.S.C. 1, 3, 5-7). The 1910 act has been supplemented by 
several statutes, including those authorizing production and sale of 
helium, and research on environmental problems associated with minerals.
    The Bureau is primarily a research and factfinding agency. Its goal 
is to help ensure that the Nation has adequate supplies of nonfuel 
minerals for security and other needs. Research is conducted to provide 
the technology for the extraction, processing, use, and recycling of the 
Nation's nonfuel mineral resources at a reasonable cost without harm to 
the environment or the workers involved.

[[Page 328]]

    The Bureau also collects, compiles, analyzes, and publishes 
statistical and economic information on all phases of nonfuel mineral 
resource development, including exploration, production, shipments, 
demand, stocks, prices, imports, and exports. Special studies are 
frequently made on subjects of particular national interest, such as the 
effects of potential economic, technologic, or legal developments on 
resource availability. The effects of policy alternatives on mineral 
supply and demand are also analyzed.

United States Geological Survey

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) was established by act of 
March 3, 1879 (43 U.S.C. 31), which provided for ``the classification of 
the public lands and the examination of the geological structure, 
mineral resources, and products of the national domain.'' The act of 
September 5, 1962 (43 U.S.C. 31(b)), expanded this authorization to 
include such examinations outside the national domain. Topographic 
mapping and chemical and physical research were recognized as an 
essential part of the investigations and studies authorized by act of 
March 3, 1879, and specific provision was made for them through 
subsequent legislation.
    Provision was made in 1894 for gauging the streams and determining 
the water supply of the United States. Authorizations for publication, 
sale, and distribution of material prepared by USGS are contained in 
several statutes (43 U.S.C. 41-45; 44 U.S.C. 1318-1320).
    USGS is also authorized to maintain an archive of land-remote 
sensing data for historical, scientific, and technical purposes, 
including long-term global environmental monitoring; establish a 
National Geologic Mapping Program; expedite the production of a 
geologic-map data base; establish and support the Federal Geographic 
Data Committee, which is chaired by the Secretary of the Interior; and 
serve as the designated lead agency for the Federal Water Information 
Coordination Program.
    The Geological Survey's primary responsibilities are: investigating 
and assessing the Nation's land, water, energy, and mineral resources; 
conducting research on global change; and investigating natural hazards 
such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, floods, and droughts. To 
attain these objectives, USGS prepares maps and digital and cartographic 
data; collects and interprets data on energy and mineral resources; 
conducts nationwide assessments of the quality, quantity, and use of the 
Nation's water resources; performs fundamental and applied research in 
the sciences and techniques involved; and publishes and disseminates the 
results of its investigations in thousands of new maps and reports each 
year.

Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement

The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) was 
established in the Department of the Interior by the Surface Mining 
Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1211).
    The Office's primary goal is to assist States in operating a 
nationwide program that protects society and the environment from the 
adverse effects of coal mining, while ensuring that surface coal mining 
can be done without permanent damage to land and water resources. The 
main objectives, now that most coal-mining States have assumed primary 
responsibility for regulating coal mining and reclamation activities 
within their borders, are to oversee mining regulatory and abandoned 
mine reclamation programs in States with primary responsibility, to 
assist States in meeting the objectives of the act, and to regulate 
mining and reclamation activities in those States choosing not to assume 
primary responsibility.

[[Page 329]]

    The Office's headquarters is located in Washington, DC. In addition, 
regional coordinating centers, located in Pittsburgh, PA; Alton, IL; and 
Denver, CO; provide technical support to the States and to OSM's 13 
field offices and 8 area offices. The field offices interact with State, 
tribal and Federal agencies, assisting the States in implementing their 
regulatory and reclamation programs. The regional coordinating centers 
also review mine plans and permit applications on Federal lands.
Activities  The Office establishes national policy for the conduct of 
the surface mining control and reclamation program provided for in the 
act, reviews and approves amendments to previously approved State 
programs, and reviews and recommends approval of new State program 
submissions. Other activities include:
    --managing the collection, disbursement, and accounting for 
abandoned mine land fees;
    --administering civil penalties programs;
    --establishing technical standards and regulatory policy for 
reclamation and enforcement efforts;
    --providing guidance for environmental considerations, research, 
training, and technology transfer for State, tribal and Federal 
regulatory and abandoned mine land reclamation programs; and
    --monitoring and evaluating State and tribal regulatory programs, 
cooperative agreements, and abandoned mine land reclamation programs.

Bureau of Indian Affairs

The Bureau of Indian Affairs was created as part of the War Department 
in 1824 and transferred to the Department of the Interior when the 
latter was established in 1849. The Snyder Act of 1921 (25 U.S.C. 13) 
provided substantive law for appropriations covering the conduct of 
activities by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The scope and character of 
the authorizations contained in this act were broadened by the Indian 
Reorganization Act of 1934 (25 U.S.C. 461 et seq.), the Indian Self-
Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975, as amended (25 
U.S.C. 450), title XI of the Education Amendments of 1978 (20 U.S.C. 
2701 note), and the Hawkins-Stafford Elementary and Secondary School 
Improvement Amendments of 1988 (20 U.S.C. 2701).
    The principal objectives of the Bureau are to encourage and assist 
Indian and Alaska Native people to manage their own affairs under the 
trust relationship to the Federal Government; to facilitate, with 
maximum involvement of Indian and Alaska Native people, full development 
of their human and natural resource potential; to mobilize all public 
and private aids to the advancement of Indian and Alaska Native people 
for use by them; and to promote self-determination by utilizing the 
skill and capabilities of Indian and Alaska Native people in the 
direction and management of programs for their benefit.
Activities  In carrying out these objectives, the Bureau works with 
Indian and Alaska Native people, tribal governments, Native American 
organizations, other Federal agencies, State and local governments, and 
other interested groups in the development and implementation of 
effective programs for their advancement.
    The Bureau also acts as trustee for their lands and moneys held in 
trust by the United States, assisting them to realize maximum benefits 
from such resources.

Minerals Management Service

The Minerals Management Service was established on January 19, 1982, by 
Secretarial Order 3071, under the authority provided by section 2 of 
Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950 (5 U.S.C. app.), and further amended 
on May 10 and May 26, 1982.
    Secretarial Order 3087, dated December 3, 1982, and amendment 1, 
dated February 7, 1983, provided for the transfer of royalty and mineral 
revenue management functions, including collection and distribution, to 
the Minerals Management Service and transferred all onshore minerals 
management functions on Federal and Indian lands to the Bureau of Land 
Management.
    The Service assesses the nature, extent, recoverability, and value 
of leasable minerals on the Outer Continental Shelf. It ensures the 
orderly and timely inventory and development, as well as the efficient 
recovery, of mineral resources; encourages utilization of the best 
available and safest technology; provides for fair, full, and accurate 
returns to the Federal Treasury for produced commodities; and safeguards 
against fraud, waste, and abuse.
Offshore Minerals Management  The Service is responsible for resource 
evaluation, environmental review, leasing activities (including public 
liaison and planning functions), lease management, and inspection and 
enforcement programs for Outer Continental Shelf lands.
    Five-year oil and gas leasing programs are developed for leasing on 
the Outer Continental Shelf in consultation with the Congress, the 23 
coastal States, local governments, environmental groups, industry, and 
the public.
    The Service conducts extensive environmental studies and 
consultations with State officials prior to issuing leases. Once leases 
have been issued, inspectors conduct frequent inspections of offshore 
operations, and environmental studies personnel collect more data to 
ensure that marine environments are kept free of pollutants.
Royalty Management  The Service is responsible for the collection and 
distribution of all royalty payments, rentals, bonus payments, fines, 
penalties, assessments, and other revenues due the Federal Government 
and Indian lessors as monies or royalties-in-kind from the extraction of 
mineral resources from Federal and Indian lands onshore and from the 
leasing and extraction of mineral resources on the Outer Continental 
Shelf.
    The revenues generated by minerals leasing are one of the largest 
nontax sources of income to the Federal Government. As specified by law, 
these revenues are distributed to the States, to the general fund of the 
Treasury, and to Indian tribes and allottees.
    The basic organization of the Service consists of a headquarters in 
Washington, DC, with program components located in Herndon, VA; the 
Royalty Management Program, headquartered in Lakewood, CO; three Outer 
Continental Shelf regional offices; and two administrative service 
centers.

Bureau of Land Management

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was established July 16, 1946, by 
the consolidation of the General Land Office (created in 1812) and the 
Grazing Service (formed in 1934).
    The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (90 Stat. 2743) 
repealed and replaced many obsolete or overlapping statutes. It provides 
a basic mission statement for the Bureau and establishes policy 
guidelines and criteria for the management of public lands and resources 
administered by the Bureau.
    The Bureau's basic organization consists of a headquarters in 
Washington, DC, a Service Center in Denver, CO, a Fire Center in Boise, 
ID, and a Training Center in Phoenix, AZ, which have BLM-wide support 
responsibilities; and a field organization of State, district, and 
resource area offices. The Bureau also utilizes a system of advisory 
councils to assist in the development of management plans and policies.
    The Bureau is responsible for the total management of more than 270 
million acres of public lands. These lands are located primarily in the 
West and Alaska; however, small scattered parcels are located in other 
States. In addition to minerals management responsibilities on the 
public lands, BLM is also responsible for subsurface resource management 
of an additional 300 million acres where mineral rights are owned by the 
Federal Government.
    Resources managed by the Bureau include timber, solid minerals, oil 
and                                                                       
      gas, geothermal energy, wildlife habitat, endangered plant and 
animal species, rangeland vegetation, recreation and cultural values, 
wild and scenic rivers, designated conservation and wilderness areas, 
and open space. Bureau programs provide for the protection (including 
fire suppression), orderly development, and use of the public lands and 
resources under principles of multiple use and sustained yield. Land use 
plans are developed with public involvement to provide orderly use and 
development while maintaining and enhancing the quality of the 
environment. The Bureau also manages watersheds to protect soil and 
enhance water quality; develops recreational opportunities on public 
lands; administers programs to protect and manage wild horses and 
burros; and, under certain conditions, makes land available for sale to 
individuals, organizations, local governments, and other Federal 
agencies when such transfer is in the public interest. Lands may be 
leased to State and local government agencies and to nonprofit 
organizations for certain purposes.
    The Bureau oversees and manages the development of energy and 
mineral leases and ensures compliance with applicable regulations 
governing the extraction of these resources.
    The Bureau has responsibility to issue rights-of-way, in certain 
instances, for crossing Federal lands under other agencies' 
jurisdiction. It also has general enforcement authority.
    The Bureau is responsible for the survey of Federal lands and 
establishes and maintains public land records and records of mining 
claims. It administers a

[[Page 332]]

program of payments in lieu of taxes based on the amount of federally 
owned lands in counties and other units of local government.

Bureau of Reclamation

The mission of the Bureau of Reclamation is to manage, develop, and 
protect, for the public welfare, water and related resources in an 
environmentally and economically sound manner.
    The Reclamation Act of 1902 (43 U.S.C. 371 et seq.) authorized the 
Secretary of the Interior to administer a reclamation program that would 
provide the arid and semiarid lands of the 17 contiguous Western States 
a secure, year-round water supply for irrigation. To perform the 
mission, the Reclamation Service was created within the United States 
Geological Survey. In 1907 the Reclamation Service was separated from 
the Survey, and in 1923 was renamed the Bureau of Reclamation.
    The Reclamation program has helped to settle and develop the West by 
providing for sustained economic growth, an improved environment, and an 
enhanced quality of life through the development of a water storage and 
delivery infrastructure, which provides safe and dependable water 
supplies and hydroelectric power for agricultural, municipal, and 
industrial users; protects and improves water quality; provides 
recreational and fish and wildlife benefits; enhances river regulations; 
and helps control damaging floods.
    With this infrastructure largely in place, the Reclamation program 
is now focusing greater emphasis on resource management and protection 
than on development. Following a balanced approach to the stewardship of 
the West's water and related land and energy resources, the Bureau:
    --works in partnership with others to develop water conservation 
plans, provide for the efficient and effective use of water and related 
resources, and improve the management of existing water resources;
    --designs and constructs water resources projects, as authorized by 
the Congress;
    --helps to develop and supports or enhances recreational uses at 
Reclamation projects;
    --conducts research and encourages technology transfer to improve 
resource management, development, and protection;
    --ensures that the lands it manages are free from hazardous and 
toxic waste and assists other Federal and State agencies in protecting 
and restoring surface water and ground water 

[[Page 333]]
resources from hazardous waste contamination;
    --operates and maintains its facilities to ensure reliability, 
safety, and economic operation to protect the public, property, and the 
Nation's investment in the facilities, and to preserve and enhance 
environmental resources; and
    --provides engineering and technical support to Federal and State 
agencies, to Native American tribes, and to other nations to help 
accomplish national, regional, and international resource management, 
development, and protection objectives.
    Through contracts with project beneficiaries, the Bureau arranges 
repayment to the Federal Treasury for construction, operation, and 
maintenance costs. Approximately 80 percent of all direct project costs 
are repaid to the Government.
    Reclamation project facilities in operation include 355 storage 
reservoirs, 69,400 miles of canals and other water conveyances and 
distribution facilities, and 52 hydroelectric powerplants.
