    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 for
    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 for 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 environmental improvement.
    Land and Minerals Management  The Office of the Assistant Secretary for
    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 for Indian Affairs
    is responsible for establishing and acting on issues affecting Indian
    policy and programs; exercising direction and supervision of the Bureau
    of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Indian Education; directly
    supervising the Federal acknowledgment of tribes, tribal self-
    determination and self-governance, Indian gaming management, economic
    development, and all administrative, financial, and information
    resources management activities; and maintaining liaison and
    coordination between the

    Department and other Federal agencies that provide services or funding
    to Indians.
        The Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians (OST)
    oversees Indian trust reform efforts departmentwide to ensure the
    establishment of policies, procedures, systems, and practices to allow
    the Secretary to discharge the Government's fiduciary trust
    responsibilities to American Indians and tribes. OST also has
    programmatic responsibility for the management of financial trust
    assets, asset appraisals, and fiduciary trust beneficiary services.
    Insular Affairs  The Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) 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. OIA also carries out the Secretary's
    responsibilities that are related to the three freely associated states
    (the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall
    Islands, and the Republic of Palau); the Palmyra Atoll Excluded Areas;
    and Midway Atoll's nonterrestrial areas.

    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 United States Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for
    conserving, protecting, and enhancing fish, wildlife, and plants and
    their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The
    Service manages 95 million acre National Wildlife Refuge System, which
    encompasses 544 national wildlife refuges, thousands of small wetlands,
    and other special management areas. It also operates 69 national fish
    hatcheries, 63 fishery resource offices, and 81 ecological services
    field stations. The Service enforces Federal wildlife laws, administers
    the Endangered Species Act, manages migatory bird populations, restores
    nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife
    habitat such as wetslands, and assists foreign governmentswith their
    conservation efforts. It also oversees the Sports Fish Restoration
    Program that distributes revenues from excise taxes on fishing and
    hunting equipment to State fish and wildlife agencies.
        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;

    [[Page 249]]

        --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 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.

    United States Geological Survey

    The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was established by the Organic Act of
    March 3, 1879 (43 U.S.C. 31). USGS classifies public lands, examines the
    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

    [[Page 251]]

    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 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
    earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, droughts, coastal erosion, and wildland
    fires;
        --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,
    hydrologic, geologic, and geographical spatial data of the Nation; and
        --maintaining and analyzing databases of natural resource
    information.
        To attain these objectives, USGS prepares maps and digital and
    cartographic data; collects and interprets data on energy, mineral, and
    biological resources; conducts nationwide assessments of the quality,

    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 BIA is to
    fulfill its trust responsibilities and promote self-determination on
    behalf of tribal governments, American Indians, and Alaska Natives. BIA
    provides services directly or through contracts, grants, or compacts to
    approximately 1.4 million American Indians and Alaska Natives, members
    of 561 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 governmental 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 United
    States; 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
    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
    assessment and evaluation; environmental review; leasing and permitting
    activities (including public liaison and planning functions), management
    of leases, easements, and rights-of-way; and inspection and enforcement
    programs for Outer Continental Shelf lands.
        Programs are developed for energy, mineral, and related activities
    on the Outer Continental Shelf in consultation with the Congress,
    affected States, local

    [[Page 253]]

    governments, environmental groups, industry, and the public.
        The Service conducts extensive environmental studies and
    consultations with State officials prior to issuing leases, easements,
    or rights-of-way. Once permits or other approvals have been issued,
    inspectors conduct frequent inspections of offshore operations, and
    environmental studies personnel collect data to ensure that marine and
    coastal environments are kept free of pollutants.
    Minerals Revenue Management  The Service is responsible for collecting,
    accounting for, and disbursing revenues associated with minerals
    produced on Federal and Indian-leased lands. The Service also conducts a
    comprehensive compliance program to ensure that fair market value is
    received for the mineral assets and that royalties are timely and
    accurately paid.
        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 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.

    [[Page 254]]

        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.
