DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

LAND AND MINERALS MANAGEMENT

BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is charged with the multipleuse management of natural resources on more than 250 million acres ofsurface estate of public land, about one-eighth of the land in the UnitedStates. The BLM also administers approximately 700 million acres of on-shore Federal mineral estate underlying the BLM and other surface owner-ships. In addition, the BLM has trust responsibilities on 56 million acresof Indian trust lands for mineral operations and cadastral (land) surveys.The lands managed by the BLM provide important natural resources, recre-ational and scenic values to the American people, as well as resourcecommodities and revenue to the Federal Government, States, and counties.It is the mission of the BLM to sustain the health, diversity, and productivityof the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future genera-tions. In 2019, the BLM proposes to change its budget structure to betterfocus the organization on meeting its responsibilities and executing itsmultiple use mission under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act.

Energy and minerals management.—Provides for management of onshoreoil and gas; coal; renewable energy resources such as wind, solar, andgeothermal energy; other leasable minerals and mineral materials activities;and the administration of encumbrances on the mineral estate on Federaland Indian lands. The 2019 Budget funds oil and gas management activitiesthrough a combination of direct appropriations and permanent appropri-ations authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2015.

Return on mineral development on Federal lands.—Mineral developmenton Federal lands contributes to the national economy. However, a long-standing challenge is to provide a fair return to taxpayers for the use oftheir natural resources, without discouraging development. To meet thischallenge and prepare for the FY 2020 Budget, DOI is finalizing a studythat evaluates the production and development of hardrock minerals fromFederal lands. As part of this effort, DOI is analyzing revenue recoveredby other entities, including other countries, which permit mining on theirland. DOI will continue to consult with other appropriate agencies, suchas the Department of Agriculture, and the findings will be consolidatedwith ongoing efforts to improve agency management and streamline per-mitting, as part of a broader package on natural resources produced fromFederal lands.

Realty and ownership management.—Provides for management and non-reimbursable processing of authorizations and compliance for realty actionsand rights-of-way (including Alaska), administration of land title recordsand completion of cadastral surveys on public lands. Provides for the pro-cessing of communication site use authorization requests.

Transportation and facilities management.—Provides for constructionand maintenance of administrative and recreation sites, roads, trails, bridgesand dams, including compliance with building codes and standards andenvironmental protection requirements. These funds allow for the system-atic management of facilities with critical health and safety concerns, andensure the protection of natural and cultural resources and the environment.The BLM funds all construction and deferred maintenance projects fromthis activity, including those on the Oregon and California grant lands.

National Conservation Lands.—Provides for the management of NationalMonuments, National Conservation Areas, and other Congressional con-servation designations in the National Conservation Lands. The programprovides for the recurring operational (base) budgets of these units.

Workforce and organizational support.—Provides for the managementof bureau business practices, such as human resources, Equal EmploymentOpportunity, financial resources, procurement, property, informationtechnology, and fixed costs.

Mining law administration.—Provides for exploration and developmentof minerals on public lands pursuant to the General Mining Law of 1872,including validity examinations, patent application reviews, enforcementof environmental and bonding requirements, and recordation of miningclaims. Program costs are expected to be fully offset by claim maintenanceand other fees in 2019.

In 2019, the BLM proposes to change its budget structure to better focusthe organization on meeting its responsibilities and executing its multipleuse mission under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. Theseproposed changes affect the Land Resources, Wildlife and Fisheries Man-

agement, Threatened and Endangered Species Management, and ResourceProtection and Maintenance programs, and are explained in detail in theDepartment's FY19 Congressional Justification, which is available on DOI'swebsite.

With stewardship contracting, the BLM may apply the value oftimber or other forest products removed as an offset against the cost ofservices received, and monies from a contract may be retained by theBLM. These monies are available for expenditure without further appro-priation at project sites.

Expenses, road maintenance deposits.—Users of certain roads underthe BLM's jurisdiction make deposits for maintenance purposes. Moneyscollected are appropriated for necessary road maintenance. Moneys col-lected on Oregon and California grant lands are available only for thoselands (43 U.S.C. 1762(c), 43 U.S.C. 1735(b)).

All recre-ation fee receipts collected under this authority at BLM sites are depositedto the Recreation Fee account. The BLM returns 100 percent of thesereceipts back to the site where the fees were generated. The Administra-tion proposes a two-year extension of FLREA in appropriations languageand legislation to permanently reauthorize this authority currently set toexpire on September 30, 2018.

Operations and acquisitions in Nevada from land sale receipts.—Pur-suant to P.L. 105–263, 85 percent of receipts from sales of public domainlands in southern Nevada are used to acquire environmentally sensitivelands in Nevada; make capital improvements to areas administered bythe National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and BLMin Clark County, Nevada; develop a multi-species habitat plan in ClarkCounty, Nevada; develop parks, trails and natural areas and implementother conservation initiatives in Clark County, Nevada; and reimbursethe BLM for costs incurred arranging sales and exchanges under the Act.

BLM Permit Processing Improvement Fund.—The 2005 Energy PolicyAct, as amended by the National Defense Authorization Act, 2015, estab-lished pilot offices to improve interagency coordination in processingonshore Federal oil and gas permits. Fifty-percent of the rents from non-geothermal onshore mineral leases are authorized to be deposited in thisFund and used to facilitate the BLM oil and gas permit processing inthese pilot offices. In addition, in 2016 through 2026, fees collected forprocessing applications for permits to drill will be deposited to this Fund.

Federal land disposal.—The Federal Land Transaction FacilitationAct, P.L. 106–248 (114 Stat. 613), provided authority for the BLM tosell public lands classified as suitable for disposal under resource man-agement plans in effect at the time of enactment. This law provided thatreceipts from such sales could be used to acquire non-Federal lands withsignificant resource values that fall within the boundaries of areas nowmanaged by the Department of the Interior. This authority expired onJuly 25, 2010, and was later reauthorized through July 25, 2011. All fundsnot obligated by both expiration dates were transferred to the Land andWater Conservation Fund. The Administration proposes legislation toreauthorize the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act.

Cancel Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act Account Balances.The budget assumes cancellation of $230 million in unobligated balancesin the SNPLMA special account, which was enacted in 1998 to authorizeBLM to sell specified public lands around Las Vegas and retain the proceedsfor capital improvements and various conservation, restoration, and recre-ational purposes.

Reauthorize the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act. The budgetassumes permanent reauthorization of FLTFA's land sale authority, allowingInterior to dispose of lands with low conservation value. Interior wouldhave authority to use the sales proceeds to fund the acquisition of land withhigh conservation values and cover the BLM administrative costs associatedwith conducting the sales, consistent with the original FLTFA mandate.

The Helium Act Amendments of 1960, P.L. 86–777 (50 U.S.C. 167),authorized activities necessary to provide sufficient helium to meet thecurrent and foreseeable future needs of essential government activities.The Helium Privatization Act of 1996 (HPA), P.L. 104–273, provided forthe eventual privatization of the program and its functions, specifying thatonce the helium debt is retired, the Helium Production Fund would bedissolved. The debt was repaid at the beginning of fiscal year 2014. TheHelium Stewardship Act of 2013 (HSA), P.L. 113–40, provided for contin-ued operation of the Helium program while facilitating a gradual exit fromthe helium market. The Helium program consists of: (a) continued storageand transmission of crude helium; (b) oversight of the production of heliumon Federal lands; and (c) administration of in-kind and open market crudehelium gas sale programs. To minimize impacts to the helium market, theHSA provides a "glide path" from the sales mandated under HPA, increas-ing the sales price of helium through an auction mechanism and reducingthe total volume of helium sold each year until the amount in storage reaches3.0 billion cubic feet. At that point, the remaining helium will be reservedfor Federal users. Additionally, HSA provides a hard deadline to sunsetthe program and sell off the program assets by 2021.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides research and scientificinformation to support the mission of the Department of the Interior andits science requirements. The USGS also works in collaboration with otherFederal, State, and tribal cooperators to conduct research and provide sci-entific data and information concerning natural hazards and natural resourceissues, including the water, land, geologic, and biological resources of the

Nation. The USGS budget continues science programs that generate relev-ant, objective information for natural resource managers and for communit-ies throughout the Nation and engages in partnerships with universities,research institutions, and major public and private laboratories.

Ecosystems.—The USGS Ecosystems mission area monitors and invent-ories biological resources and ecological systems; provides scientific in-formation for the management of biological resources and their habitats;studies and predicts the consequences of environmental change and theeffects of alternative management actions on plants, animals, and theirhabitats; and conducts high priority ecological and biological researchneeded by Interior for sound management decisions.

Land Resources.—The USGS Land Resources Mission Area deliversscientific data, techniques, analyses, and tools that advance the Nation'sunderstanding of landscapes and the forces that shape them. The missionarea operates through partnerships with governmental and non-governmentalentities to provide for the research, monitoring, and remote sensing capab-ilities, including Landsat satellites and data systems, necessary to under-stand, monitor and detect changes that affect the Nation's natural and agri-cultural resources, economy, public safety and national security, and his-torical heritage. The resulting data and products provide an objective sci-entific foundation for the American public, natural resource managers, andpolicymakers to make informed decisions about the management of andinvestments in natural and built landscapes.

Energy and Mineral Resources.—The USGS Energy and Mineral Re-sources mission area conducts research on the location, quantity, andquality of the Nation's and the world's energy and mineral resources. Themission area provides valuable science to better understand the Nation'smineral and energy resource potential, supply, production, consumptionand impacts of development. Accurate scientific information about Amer-ica's energy and mineral resources is critical, as our Nation depends onenergy to power our homes and businesses and minerals to manufactureproducts we rely on every day, from our cell phones and laptops to the carswe drive. The science provided by the mission area is also used to under-stand international trade issues, and on a more local scale, to understandthe mineral and energy resources available in various parts of our Nation.

Natural Hazards.—The USGS plays a critical role in providing policy-makers and the public with a clear understanding of potential threats fromnatural hazards, societal vulnerability to these threats, and strategies forachieving resilience to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, floods,hurricanes, tsunamis, and wildfires. The USGS Natural Hazards missionarea is working with its partners and stakeholders to define and mitigaterisks, build understanding of natural hazard processes, and characterizethe potential impact and consequences on human activity, health, the eco-nomy, and the environment. This mission area includes USGS activitiesthat characterize and assess coastal and marine processes, conditions,change and vulnerability.

Water Resources.—The USGS is the primary Federal science agencyproviding information about water resources. To fulfill this responsibility,the USGS Water Resources mission area monitors and assesses the amountand characteristics of the Nation's water resources, assesses sources andbehavior of contaminants in the water environment, and develops tools toimprove management and understanding of water resources. This worksupports Federal, State, tribal, and local government decisions in managingwater resources for domestic, agricultural, commercial, industrial, recre-ational, and ecological uses; protecting and enhancing water resources forhuman health, aquatic health, and environmental quality; minimizing lossof life and property as a result of water-related natural hazards, such asfloods, droughts, and land movement; and contributing to sustainablestewardship and development of the Nation's resources for the benefit ofpresent and future generations.

Core Science Systems.—The USGS Core Science Systems mission arealeads the bureau's mission as the civilian mapping agency for the Nation—a138-year legacy since its establishment in 1879. The USGS conducts de-tailed surveys and distributes the resulting high-quality and highly-accurate


United States Geological Survey—Continued

SURVEYS, INVESTIGATIONS, AND RESEARCH—Continued

topographic, geologic, hydrographic, and biogeographic maps and data tothe public. Mapping accuracy enabled by cutting-edge technologies allowsfor precise planning for critical mineral assessments; energy development;transportation and pipeline infrastructure projects; urban planning and de-velopment; flood prediction at regional, local, and neighborhood scales;emergency response; and hazards mitigation. The USGS Core ScienceSystems Mission Area is the Federal steward of this high-quality geospatialdata, and provides access to the public through The National Map, theNational Geologic Map Database, and the National Biogeographic Map.

Science Support.—The USGS Science Support program funds essentialscience leadership as well as critical functions such as: scientific integrityprocesses; sharing and communicating science findings; purchasing scienceequipment and field supplies; executing science agreements with partners;contracting for support scientists and researchers; safety training; hazardouswaste management; succession planning and execution; and informationtechnology, which supports the scientific process and information manage-ment of scientific data. Science Support also provides Bureau-wide exec-utive direction and coordination, business administration and financialmanagement.

Facilities.—The USGS Facilities program provides safe, functionalworkspace, laboratories, and facilities for the USGS to accomplish its sci-entific mission. The mission area provides rental payments and operationand maintenance for properties and deferred maintenance and capital im-provement for owned assets.

Reimbursable program.—This program includes reimbursements fromnon-Federal sources (States, Tribes, and municipalities) for: cooperativeefforts; proceeds from the sale of copies of photographs and records andthe sale of personal property; reimbursements from permittees and licenseesof the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission; and reimbursements fromforeign countries and international organizations for technical assistance.The USGS also receives reimbursements from other Federal agencies arefor mission-related work performed at the request of the financing agency.

The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA) was passedon December 8, 2004, as part of the Omnibus Appropriations bill for 2005.Approximately 164 Fish and Wildlife Service sites collect entrance feesand other receipts. All receipts are deposited into a recreation fee accountof which at least 80 percent is returned to the collecting site.

The recreation fee program demonstrates the feasibility of user generatedcost recovery for the operation and maintenance of recreation areas, visitorservices improvements, and habitat enhancement projects on Federal lands.Fees are used primarily at the site to improve visitor access, enhance publicsafety and security, address maintenance needs, enhance resource protection,and cover the costs of collection. Recreation fees are often used at Servicesites to fund student interns and for various youth programs focusing onhunting, fishing, wildlife observation, wildlife photography, environmentaleducation, and environmental interpretation. The FY 2019 Budget proposesa two-year extension of FLREA as appropriations language and legislation

Public Lands Infrastructure Fund.—Interior manages an infrastructureasset portfolio with a replacement value exceeding $300 billion, whichincludes buildings, housing, trails, roads, water systems, and Bureau ofIndian Education (BIE) schools. Many of these assets are deteriorating,with older assets becoming more expensive to repair and maintain in goodcondition. The Budget proposes a new Public Lands Infrastructure Fundto help pay for repairs and improvements in national parks, wildlife refugesand at BIE schools, which have over $12 billion in deferred maintenance.The fund would be derived from 50 percent of the incremental energyleasing receipts resulting from expanded energy development on Federallands and waters; eligible receipts would be Federal onshore and offshoreenergy leasing revenues that exceed the 2018 Budget's receipt projectionsand are not otherwise allocated for other purposes (e.g., the ReclamationFund, Land and Water Conservation Fund, Historic Preservation Fund,

and state and local revenue sharing payments). These receipts would bederived from energy mineral leasing (e.g., oil, gas and coal) under theMineral Leasing Act and Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, as well assolar, wind and geothermal development on public lands and offshoreareas. Deposits to the fund would continue for 10 years and would becapped at a total of $18 billion. Interior would use its capital asset manage-ment systems to prioritize projects, monitor implementation and measureresults. The Budget estimates $6.8 billion in expenditures from the fundover 10 years. This investment would significantly improve the Nation'smost visible and visited public facilities.

Preparedness.—Funds the non-emergency and predictable aspects of theDepartment's wildland fire program, including the initial attack suppressionaction on wildfires. Preparedness includes readiness, operational planning,oversight, procurement, training, supervision, and deployment of wildland

fire suppression personnel and equipment prior to wildland fire occurrence,and rural fire readiness, in which assistance is provided to local cooperatorsto enhance their capacity to protect remote communities and natural re-sources. It also includes activities related to program monitoring andevaluation, and integration of fire into land-use planning.

Suppression Operations.—Funds the emergency and unpredictable aspectsof the Department's wildland fire management program. Suppression oper-ations include the total spectrum of management actions taken on wildlandfires in a safe, cost-effective manner, considering public benefits and valuesto be protected consistent with resource objectives and land managementplans. Emergency actions taken during and immediately following a wildfireto stabilize the soil and structures to prevent erosion, floods, landslides,and further resource damage are included in this activity. Generally,emergency stabilization actions may be performed within one year ofcontainment of a fire, however, exceptions to this time limit are allowedunder certain circumstances. In FY 2010 through 2017, funding for theten-year average of inflation-adjusted suppression obligations was splitbetween the FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund and this appro-priation. The FY 2019 Budget request proposes to fund 100 percent of theten-year average within the Wildland Fire Management account and dis-continue funding requests in the FLAME Wildfire Suppression ReserveFund. The FLAME account will be closed out as current balances in theaccount are drawn down. The Budget also proposes to amend the BalancedBudget and Emergency Deficit Control Act to establish a separate annualcap adjustment for wildfire suppression operations, similar to how unanti-cipated funding needs for other natural disasters are addressed. This capadjustment will help ensure that adequate resources are available to theDepartments of the Interior and Agriculture to fight wildland fires, protectcommunities, and safeguard human life during the most severe wildlandfire seasons. (The Cap Adjustment Budget request is in a new account, theWildfire Suppression Operations Fund, at the end of the Federal Fundssection in the Other Independent Agencies chapter.) The DOI and ForestService wildland fire management programs will continue to strengthenoversight and accountability of suppression spending and use risk manage-ment principles to guide decision-making at the strategic, program, andoperational levels.

Fuels Management.—The FY 2019 Budget proposes to establish theFuels Management program as a budget activity, elevating it from its currentposition as a subactivity under Other Operations. The Fuels Managementprogram conducts treatments aimed at mitigating risk to communities andtheir values, including areas in the wildland urban interface. This activitymay also conduct treatments that improve the integrity and resilience ofour forests and rangelands. The Fuels Management activity will contributecommunity adaption to fire and improve the ability to safely and appropri-ately respond to wildfire. Funding for the Fuels Management activitycovers the planning, operational aspects, and monitoring of fuels treatments.The program will utilize such treatment methods as prescribed fire, mech-anical, chemical, and biological treatments or a combination of methods.

Other Operations.—Funds all other aspects of the wildland fire manage-ment program, which includes Fire Facilities Construction and Maintenance,Burned Area Rehabilitation, and Joint Fire Science. The Fire FacilitiesConstruction and Maintenance program funds construction and maintenanceof facilities to house firefighters and equipment used in wildland firefightingand fuels management activities. The FY 2019 Budget proposes to discon-tinue funding for the Fire Facilities Construction and Maintenance program.In the future, funding for these facilities will appear in the Department'sfire-related bureaus' construction and deferred maintenance budgets. TheBurned Area Rehabilitation program begins the restoration process forlands and resources damaged by wildland fires that would not return tofire adapted conditions without intervention. Soil stabilization and the in-troduction of native and other desirable plant species are employed for upto three years, or up to five years under certain circumstances, followingcontainment of a fire to return severely-burned areas to appropriate fireregimes and resource conditions. The Joint Fire Science subactivity funds



WILDLAND FIRE MANAGEMENT—Continued

the Department's share of the Joint Fire Science program, an interagencypartnership that sponsors and delivers applied research to assist fieldmanagers with fuels treatment, post-fire rehabilitation, smoke managementand many other related topics. The Budget proposes to discontinue fundingfor the Joint Fire Science program.

In 2010 through 2017, amounts in the FLAME Fund included the portionof the ten-year average of suppression obligations, adjusted for inflation,intended to support the most severe, complex, and threatening fires. TheSecretary is authorized to permit transfers from this account to cover theseextreme fire events. The Secretary may also transfer funds in the eventDOI has exhausted its suppression resources due to an active fire season.In FY 2019, the Budget proposes to discontinue funding requests in theFLAME Fund. The Budget proposes to fund the Department's full ten-yearsuppression average in the Wildland Fire Management account. TheFLAME account will be closed out as current balances are drawn down.The Budget also proposes to amend the Balanced Budget and EmergencyDeficit Control Act to establish a separate annual cap adjustment forwildfire suppression operations, similar to how unanticipated funding needsfor other natural disasters are addressed. This cap adjustment will helpensure that adequate resources are available to the Departments of the In-terior and Agriculture to fight wildland fires, protect communities, andsafeguard human life during the most severe wildland fire seasons. (TheCap Adjustment Budget request is in a new account, the Wildfire Suppres-sion Operations Fund, at the end of the Federal Funds section in the OtherIndependent Agencies chapter.)
