------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 environmental improvement.

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 540 national wildlife refuges, thousands of
small wetlands, and other special management areas. It also operates 69
national fish hatcheries, 63 fish and wildlife management assistance
offices, 64 fishery resource offices, and 81 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;
[[Page 247]]
--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 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.

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.

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 251]]
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 (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.
[[Page 252]]
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.
