    The mission of the Department of the Interior is to protect and provide
    access to our Nation's natural and cultural heritage and honor our trust
    responsibilities to tribes. The Department manages the Nation's public
    lands and minerals, national parks, national wildlife refuges, and
    western water resources and upholds Federal trust responsibilities to
    Indian tribes. It is responsible for migratory wildlife conservation;
    historic preservation; endangered species; surface-mined lands
    protection and restoration; mapping; and geological, hydrological, and
    biological science.

    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.

    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 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,
    seven regional offices, a variety of field units and installations, and
    a nationwide network of law enforcement agents. The Service manages more
    than 94 million acres of land and water consisting of more than 500
    national wildlife refuges, 65 national fish hatcheries, 38 wetland
    management districts with waterfowl

    [[Page 308]]

    production areas, and 50 wildlife coordination areas.
        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 benefit the living natural
    resources and add 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 fulfill 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; and 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 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;
    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 fishing equipment to the States and
    territories for projects designed to conserve and enhance the Nation's
    fish and wildlife resources.

    National Park Service

    The National Park Service was established in the Department of the
    Interior on August 25, 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1).
        The National Park Service is dedicated to conserving unimpaired the
    natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System
    for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future
    generations. There are more than 375 units in the National Park System,
    including national parks and monuments; scenic parkways, preserves,
    trails, riverways, seashores, lakeshores, and recreation areas; and
    historic sites associated with important movements, events, and
    personalities of the American past.
        The National Park Service has a Service Center in Denver that
    provides planning, architectural, engineering, and other professional
    services. The Service is also responsible for managing a great variety
    of national and international programs designed to help extend the
    benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor
    recreation throughout this country and the world.
    Activities  The National Park Service develops and implements park
    management plans and staffs the areas under its administration. It
    relates the natural values and historical significance of these areas to
    the public through talks, tours, films, exhibits, publications, and
    other interpretive media. It operates campgrounds and other visitor
    facilities and provides--usually through concessions--lodging, food, and
    transportation services in many areas.
        The National Park Service also administers the following programs:
    the State portion of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, Nationwide
    Outdoor Recreation coordination and information and State comprehensive
    outdoor recreation planning, planning and technical assistance for the

    United States Geological Survey

    The United States Geological Survey (USGS) was established by the
    Organic Act of March 3, 1879 (43 U.S.C. 31), which provided that the
    USGS is directed to classify the public lands and examine the geological
    structure, mineral resources, and products within and outside the
    national domain. This section also established the Office of the
    Director of the Geological Survey, under the Department of the Interior.
    Public Law 102-285, section 10(a) established the United States
    Geological Survey as its official name. In 1894, provision was made for
    gauging the streams and determining the water supply of the United
    States.
        The September 5, 1962, amendment to the Organic Act (43 U.S.C. 31 et
    seq.) expanded this authorization to include such examinations outside
    the public domain. Specific provision was made for topographic mapping
    and chemical and physical research through subsequent legislation.
    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). The Balanced Budget Downpayment Act, I (110 Stat. 26)
    incorporated into the USGS the responsibility to provide the management
    and conservation of the Nation's biological resources and mineral
    information.
        The USGS provides relevant, objective scientific studies and
    information used to help address issues and solve problems dealing with
    natural resources, natural hazards, and the environmental effects on
    human and wildlife health. The major responsibilities of the USGS are:
        --investigating and assessing the Nation's land, water, energy,
    biological, and mineral resources;
        --conducting research on global change;
        --providing information to resource managers in the Department in a
    form that helps them to assess and manage the biological consequences of
    management practices;
        --investigating natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes,
    landslides, floods, and droughts;
        --maintaining an archive of land-remote sensing data for historical,
    scientific, and technical purposes, including long-term global
    environmental monitoring;
        --ensuring production and availability of basic cartographic and
    geographic spatial data of the Nation;
        --maintaining national geochemical, geophysical, mineral deposit,
    mineral commodity, and mine geology data bases;
        --collecting, interpreting, and disseminating a variety of
    information on world mineral commodities;
        --establishing a National Geologic Mapping Program;
        --supporting the Federal Geographic Data Committee, which is chaired
    by the Secretary of the Interior; and
        --serving as the designated lead agency for the Federal Water
    Information Coordination Program.
        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 the
    results of its investigations through new maps, technical reports and
    publications, and fact sheets.
        As the Nation's largest water, earth, and biological science and
    civilian

    [[Page 311]]

    mapping agency, the USGS works in cooperation with more than 2,000
    organizations across the country to provide reliable, impartial
    scientific information to resource managers, planners, and other
    customers. This information is gathered in every State by USGS
    scientists to minimize the loss of life and property from natural
    disasters, to contribute to the conservation and the sound economic and
    physical development of the Nation's natural resources, and to enhance
    the quality of life by monitoring water, biological, energy, and mineral
    resources.

    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. With
    most coal-mining States responsible for regulating coal mining and
    reclamation activities within their borders, OSM's main objectives are
    to oversee State mining regulatory and abandoned mine reclamation
    programs, assist States in meeting the objectives of the surface mining
    law, and regulate mining and reclamation activities on Federal and
    Indian lands, and in those States choosing not to assume primary
    responsibility.
        The Office's headquarters are 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 10
    field offices and 6 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 surface
    mining control and reclamation program provided for in the surface
    mining law, 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 reclamation 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;
        --monitoring and evaluating State and tribal regulatory programs,
    cooperative agreements, and abandoned mine land reclamation programs;
    and
        --coordinating the Appalachian clean streams initiative, a public-
    private joint effort, at the Federal, State, and local levels, to clean
    up streams and rivers polluted by acid mine drainage.

    Bureau of Indian Affairs

    The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) 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

    [[Page 312]]

    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 BIA 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.
        In carrying out these objectives, BIA 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.

    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

    [[Page 313]]

    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, and
    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; seven national level support and service centers
    (National Interagency Fire Center, Boise, ID; National Training Center,
    Phoenix, AZ; National Applied Resource Sciences Center, National Human
    Resources Management Center, National Business Center, and National
    Information Resources Management Center, Denver, CO; and the National
    Law Enforcement Office, Washington, DC); and a field organization of
    State and field offices. The Bureau also uses a system of advisory
    councils to assist in the development of management plans and policies.
        The Bureau is responsible for the total management of about 264
    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

    [[Page 314]]

    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. It has responsibility to
    issue rights-of-way, leases, and permits.
        The Bureau is also responsible for the survey of Federal lands and
    establishes and maintains public land records and mining claims records.
    It administers a 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 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.

    General Inquiries  The Bureau's mandate under the Federal Land Policy
    and Management Act of 1976 is generally to retain public lands in long-
    term public ownership. The Bureau occasionally sells parcels of land
    that, as a result of land-use planning, are either uneconomical to
    manage or would serve an important public objective. These lands are
    sold at fair market value. Land exchanges can be used to acquire non-BLM
    lands to protect important natural resources. The Bureau acts as the
    leasing agent for mineral rights on public and other federally
    administered lands. Information may be obtained from any of the State
    offices or from the Bureau of Land Management, Office of Public Affairs,
