    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.

    [[Page 254]]

    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.).
    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. Some areas where public
    purposes are broadly applied include:
    Fish, Wildlife, and Parks  The Office of the Assistant Secretary (Fish
    and Wildlife and Parks) has responsibility for programs associated with
    conservation in the use of natural and cultural resources, and the
    enhancement and protection of fish, wildlife, vegetation, and habitat.
    Water and Science  The Office of the Assistant Secretary (Water and
    Science) manages and directs programs that support the development and
    implementation of water, mineral, and science policies and assist the
    development of economically and environmentally sound resource
    activities. It oversees the programs of the Bureau of Reclamation and
    the United States Geological Survey. It also provides advice on Earth
    science matters to the Secretary and represents the Department in
    interagency efforts on a range of scientific issues.
    Land and Minerals Management  The Office of the Assistant Secretary
    (Land and Minerals Management) has 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.
    Indian Affairs  The Office of the Assistant Secretary (Indian Affairs)
    is responsible for identifying and acting on issues affecting Indian
    policy and programs, establishing policy on Indian affairs, maintaining
    liaison and coordination between the Department and other Federal
    agencies that provide services or funding to Indians, and monitoring and
    evaluating ongoing activities related to Indian affairs. The Office of
    the Special Trustee for American Indians oversees Indian trust asset
    reform efforts departmentwide to ensure the establishment of policies,
    procedures, systems, and practices to allow the Secretary to effectively
    discharge his trust responsibilities.
    Insular Affairs  The Office of Insular Affairs assists the territories
    of American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth
    of the Northern Mariana Islands in developing more efficient and
    effective government by providing financial and technical assistance,

    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 almost 130 years to the
    establishment of a predecessor agency, the Bureau of Fisheries, in 1871.
    First created as an independent agency, the Bureau of Fisheries was
    later placed in the Department of Commerce. A second

    [[Page 255]]

    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.).
        The Service manages more than 93 million acres of land and water
    consisting of more than 500 national wildlife refuges, thousands of
    small wetlands, and other special management areas. It also operates 66
    national fish hatcheries, 64 fish and wildlife management assistance
    offices, 64 fishery resource offices, and 78 ecological services field
    stations. The 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

    [[Page 256]]

    equipment to the States and territories for projects designed to
    conserve and enhance the Nation's fish and wildlife resources.

    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). It is responsible for
    classifying the public lands and examining the geological structure,
    mineral resources, and products within and outside the national domain.
        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 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 biologic,
    cartographic, and geographic spatial data of the Nation;
        --maintaining national geochemical, geophysical, mineral deposit,
    mineral commodity, and mine geology databases;
        --collecting, interpreting, and disseminating a variety of
    information on world mineral commodities; and
        --establishing and maintaining a national geologic mapping 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.

    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

    [[Page 258]]

    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.
    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 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. 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 and
    the efficient recovery of mineral resources; encourages utilization of
    the best available and safest technology; 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 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 Bureau manages more land--264 million surface acres--than any
    other Federal Government agency. Most of this public land is located in
    12 western States, including Alaska; there are also small, scattered
    parcels in States east of the Mississippi River. The Bureau also
    administers more than 560 million acres of subsurface mineral estate
    throughout the Nation. It preserves open space in the fast-growing,
    fast-changing West by managing the public lands for multiple uses and by
    conserving resources so that current and future generations may use and
    enjoy them.
        Resources managed by the Bureau include timber, solid minerals, oil
    and gas, geothermal energy, wildlife habitat,

    [[Page 260]]

    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 Bureau of Reclamation was established pursuant to the Reclamation
    Act of 1902 (43 U.S.C. 371 et seq.). The mission of the Bureau of
    Reclamation is to manage, develop, and protect, for the public welfare,
    water and related

    [[Page 261]]

    resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner.
        The reclamation program 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.
        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.
