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

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.
