The Department of the Interior protects and provides access to our 
Nation's natural and cultural heritage and honors our trust 
responsibilities to tribes and our commitments to island communities.
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.).
    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 Alaskan 
natives. It is also responsible for migratory wildlife conservation; 
historic preservation; endangered species conservation; surface-mined 
lands protection and restoration; mapping geological, hydrological, and 
biological science for the Nation; and for financial and technical 
assistance for the insular areas.
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 implementing Indian policy and 
programs; maintaining the Federal-tribal government-to-government 
relationship; assisting the Secretary of the Interior with carrying out 
the Department's Federal trust responsibilities; 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, economic 
development, and all administrative, financial, and information 
resources management activities; and maintaining liaison coordination 
between the Department and other Federal agencies that provide services 
or funding to the federally recognized tribes and to the eligible 
American Indians and Alaska Natives.
    The Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians (OST)

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 is the principal Federal 
agency dedicated to fish and wildlife conservation. The Service's 
history spans nearly 140 years, dating from the establishment of its 
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. In 1940, they were 
consolidated into one agency and redesignated the Fish and Wildlife 
Service 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 the 150-million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System, 
which encompasses 550 units, thousands of small wetlands, and other 
special management areas. It also operates 70 national fish hatcheries, 
64 fishery resource offices, and 81 ecological services field stations. 
The Service enforces Federal wildlife laws, administers the Endangered 
Species Act, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally 
significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as 
wetlands, and assists foreign governments with their conservation 
efforts. It also oversees the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration 
Programs, which collect and distribute revenues from excise taxes on 
fishing and hunting equipment to State fish and wildlife agencies.
    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,

[[Page 242]]

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, conducting Federal 
agency consultations and coordinating efforts nationally and 
internationally;
    --operating national wildlife refuges;
    --law enforcement;
    --foreign importation enforcement; and
    --consultation with foreign countries.
    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:
    --administration of grant programs benefiting imperiled species and 
habitat on State, Federal, and tribal lands;
    --operation of programs that provide technical and financial 
assistance to private landowners for habitat restoration and 
improvement;
    --environmental impact assessment, including review of hydroelectric 
dams, wind and nuclear power sites, stream channelization, and dredge-
and-fill permits;
    --environmental impact statement review;
    --management of the Coastal Barrier Resource System mapping;
    --surveillance of pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants 
in wildlife; and
    --surveys and studies of fish and wildlife populations.
    Public use and information programs include preparing informational 
brochures and Web sites; coordinating environmental studies 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, water, 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

[[Page 244]]

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 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, landslides, coastal erosion,

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,

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 federally recognized tribal governments, American Indians, and 
Alaska Natives. BIA provides services directly or through contracts, 
grants, or compacts to approximately 1.9 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 governmental services. The programs 
administered by either tribes or BIA include: 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, building, 
repair, and maintenance of roads and bridges, repair and maintenance of 
high-hazard dams, and operation of irrigation systems and agricultural 
programs on Federal Indian lands.
    BIA works with American Indian and Alaska Native tribal governments 
and organizations, other Federal agencies, State and local governments, 
and other groups interested 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 Energy and 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, including renewable energy, 
mineral, and related activities on the Outer Continental Shelf in 
consultation with the Congress, affected States, local 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--256 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. These public lands make up about 13 percent of 
the total land surface of the United States and more than 40 percent of 
all land managed by the Federal Government. The Bureau preserves open 
space in the fast-growing, fast-changing West by managing the

[[Page 247]]

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.
