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 and our commitments to island communities. 
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 and our 
commitments to island communities. It is responsible for migratory 
wildlife conservation; historic preservation; endangered species; 
surface-mined lands protection and restoration; mapping; geological, 
hydrological, and biological science; and financial and technical 
assistance for the insular areas.

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 
conservation and enhancement of fish, wildlife, vegetation, and habitat. 
The Office represents the Department in the coordination of marine 
ecosystems and biological resources programs with other Federal 
agencies. It also exercises secretarial direction and supervision over 
the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park 
Service.

Water and Science  The Office of the Assistant Secretary (Water and 
Science) manages and directs programs that support the development and 
implementation of water 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 and biological 
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

[[Page 244]]

[[Page 245]]

discharge the Government's 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, 
and serves as a focal point for the management of relations between the 
United States and the islands by developing and promoting appropriate 
Federal policies.

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 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 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 95 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 70 
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 for 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) that 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;

[[Page 246]]

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.

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.

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

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.

Minerals Revenue Management  The Service is responsible for the 
collection and distribution of all royalty payments, rentals, bonus 
payments, fines, penalties, assessments, and other revenue due the 
Federal Government and Indian lessors (tribal and allotted) 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--262 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 300 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, 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 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

[[Page 252]]

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.
