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 
the use, management and conservation of natural resources, lands and 
cultural facilities associated with the National Park and National 
Refuge Systems, 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) provides oversight to the U.S. Geological Survey, the Bureau of 
Reclamation and the Central Utah Project Completion Act Office. It 
provides policy direction and oversight in program areas related to 
water project operations, facility security and natural resource 
management as well as for geologic, hydrologic, cartographic, biologic, 
and technological research. It provides guidance in developing national 
water and science policies and environmentalimprovement.
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

[[Page 251]]

[[Page 252]]

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 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 more than 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

[[Page 253]]

    --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 Office of Federal Assistance apportions funds for 
projects designed to conserve and enhance the Nation's fish and wildlife 
resources. The funds for the projects are generated from excise taxes on 
sporting arms and fishing equipment.

geological structure, and assesses the energy, mineral, and biology 
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. It is responsible for:
    --investigating and assessing the Nation's water, energy, 
biological, and mineral resources;
    --conducting research on global change;
    --providing information to land and resource managers in the 
Department to

[[Page 255]]

help them assess and manage the biological and environmental 
consequences of management practices;
    --investigating natural hazards and providing real-time information 
about the Earth and minimizing loss of life and property from

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.
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 mission of the BIA is to 
fulfill its trust responsibilities

[[Page 256]]

and promote self-determination on behalf of tribal governments, American 
Indians, and Alaska Natives. The BIA provides services directly or 
through contracts, grants, or compacts to approximately 1.4 million 
American Indians and Alaska Natives, members of 562 federally recognized 
Indian tribes in the 48 contiguous United States and Alaska. The scope 
of BIA's programs is extensive, covering virtually the entire range of 
State and local government services. The programs administered by either 
tribes or BIA include: an education system for over 48,000 elementary 
and secondary students; 25 tribally controlled community colleges; 
social service programs; management of natural resources on 56 million 
acres of trust land; fire protection; emergency natural disaster relief; 
economic development programs in some of the most isolated and 
economically depressed areas of the U.S.; law enforcement; 
administration of tribal courts and detention centers; implementation of 
legislated land and water claim settlements; replacement and repair of 
schools; repair and maintenance of roads and bridges; repair of 
structural deficiencies on high-hazard dams; and provides Federal 
acknowledgment of Indian tribes.
    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.

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.

[[Page 257]]

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 700 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

[[Page 258]]

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 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;

[[Page 259]]

    --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 476 storage 
reservoirs, 72,350 miles of canals and other water conveyances and 
distribution facilities, and 58 hydroelectric powerplants.
