Wildland fire preparedness.—This activity funds the nonemergency and predictable aspects of the Department’s
wildland fire program. Preparedness includes readiness, operational planning, oversight, procurement, training, supervision, and deployment of wildland fire suppression personnel
and equipment prior to wildland fire occurrence. It also includes activities related to program monitoring and evaluation, integration of fire into land-use planning, and fire research and fire science program activities.
Wildland fire operations.—This activity funds the emergency and unpredictable aspects of the Department’s wildland
fire operations program. Wildland fire operations include
emergency suppression, emergency rehabilitation, and hazardous fuels reduction. Suppression operations include the total
spectrum of management actions taken on wildland fires in
a safe, cost-effective manner, considering public benefits and
values to be protected and consistent with resource objectives
and land management plans. Suppression operations also include severity funding used to improve initial attack preparedness response capabilities when abnormal fire conditions
occur resulting in fire seasons starting earlier than normal,
lasting longer than normal, or exceeding average fire danger
rating for prolonged periods. Emergency rehabilitation of
wildland fire areas is carried out to prevent land degradation
and resource damages and to stabilize soils, structures, or
other conditions or damage caused by wildland fires. Hazardous fuels reduction operations include all operational aspects
of applying prescribed fire to reduce fuel loadings and for
ecosystem diversity. It also includes mechanical treatments
where the application of fire is not feasible. Funding for this
activity is based on the historical 10-year average of suppression and rehabilitation expenditures adjusted for inflation,
and a target level for hazardous fuels reduction operations.

The Central Hazardous Materials Fund is used to fund
remedial investigations/feasibility studies and cleanups of
hazardous waste sites for which the Department of the Interior is liable. Authority is provided for amounts recovered
from responsible parties to be credited to this account. Thus,
the account may be composed of both annual appropriations
of no-year funds and of offsetting collections. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq.) requires
responsible parties, including Federal landowners, to investigate and clean up releases of hazardous substances.

Permanent operating funds accounts include:
Forest ecosystems health and recovery.—Funds in this account are derived from revenue generated from the Federal
share of receipts from the sale of salvage timber from the
Oregon and California grant lands, public domain lands, and
Coos Bay Wagon Road lands. This account was established
to allow the Bureau of Land Management to more efficiently
and effectively address forest health problems.
Timber Sale Pipeline Restoration Fund.—This fund provides
for the deposit and use of fees collected by the BLM for
sales of non-salvage timber pursuant to the timber salvage
provisions of Public Law 104–19 and Public Law 105–83. Of
the total deposited into this account, 75 percent is to be
used for preparation of timber sales to fill the timber pipeline
on lands administered by the BLM, and 25 percent is to
be expended on the backlog of recreation projects on BLM
lands.
Recreation fees.—This account holds funds that enable the
BLM to retain and spend up to 15 percent of recreation receipts collected during the current year to offset fee collection
costs.
Expenses, road maintenance deposits.—Users of certain
roads under jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) make deposits for maintenance purposes. Moneys collected are appropriated for necessary road maintenance. Moneys collected on Oregon and California grant lands are available only for those lands (43 U.S.C. 1762(c), 43 U.S.C.
1735(b)).
Recreational fee demonstration program.—Fees collected by
the BLM at recreation sites identified pursuant to provisions
of the 1996 Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act
are deposited to this account. Of the total collected, 80 percent
is permanently appropriated for use at the sites where the
fees were generated; the remaining 20 percent is available
for the general BLM recreation program.

The Helium Act Amendments of 1960, Public Law 86–777
(50 U.S.C. 167), authorized activities necessary to provide
sufficient helium to meet the current and foreseeable future
needs of essential government activities.
The Helium Privatization Act of 1996, Public Law 104–
273, provides for the eventual privatization of the program
and its functions. In FY 1999, the Helium program will consist of:
(a) continued storage and transmission of crude helium;
(b) complete disposal of helium refining facilities and other
excess property not needed for storage and transmission of
crude helium;
(c) oversight of the production of helium on Federal lands.
The estimates assume that the program will continue to
fund full implementation of the Helium Privatization Act.

Alaska is paid 90 percent and other States 50 percent of
the receipts from bonuses, royalties, payor late payment interest, and rentals of public lands within those States resulting
from the leasing and development of mineral resources under:
the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 191); the Mineral Leasing
Act for Acquired Lands (30 U.S.C. 351); the Geothermal
Steam Act of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 1001); and, from leases of potash deposits (30 U.S.C. 285), on both public domain and certain acquired lands.
The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA) requires
50 percent of the Federal Government’s mineral leasing administrative program costs to be recovered before disbursement to the United States Treasury and States. The Act
also requires that a State’s share of program costs be the
lesser amount as determined under two different methods
(revenue versus cost-based) as is prescribed in the Act.

Environmental protection.—This activity funds those functions that directly contribute to ensuring that the environment is protected during surface coal mining operations. It
also addresses those activities that ensure that coal operators
adequately reclaim the land after mining is completed.
Under this activity, OSM provides regulatory grants to
States to operate enforcement programs under the terms of
the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977
(SMCRA). It also provides for the operation of Federal and
Indian land programs and the oversight of State programs.
This activity also supports State regulatory program development and maintenance.

Environmental Restoration.—This activity funds environmental reclamation efforts through the collection of civil penalties for post-SMCRA reclamation and funds from bond forfeitures. It also provides funding for underground and coal
outcrop fires.
Technology development and transfer.—This activity provides funding to enhance the technical skills that States and
Indian Tribes need to operate their regulatory programs. It
provides technical outreach to States and Indian Tribes to
solve problems related to the environmental effects of coal
mining. The Violator System is funded from this activity.
Financial Management.—This activity provides the resources for the managing, accounting, and processing of collections and for the pursuit of delinquent civil penalties. This
includes developing and maintaining information management systems that support these functions and enhance the
agency’s ability to deny new mining permits to applicants
with unabated State or Federal violations.
Executive direction and administration.—This activity provides funding for executive direction, general administrative
support, and the acquisition of certain agency-wide common
services, such as rent, telephones, and postage.

which includes the Federally-administered emergency reclamation program, and for high priority projects in States
that do not have a reclamation program.
Funding within this account for the Clean Streams Initiative and Western Mine Lands Partnership Initiative is proposed as part of the Environmental Resources Fund for America. This proposal highlights the Administration’s priority to
provide deficit neutral funding for investments in many of
our Nation’s key environmental programs. A discussion of
the Environmental Resources Fund for America and two other
funds for research and transportation can be found in section
II of the Budget volume.
Technology development and transfer.—This activity provides funding to enhance the technical skills that the States
and Indian Tribes need to operate their reclamation programs. OSM conducts technical studies on mining and reclamation-related problems. This activity also provides resources for the Small operators assistance program.
Financial Management.—This activity provides funds to
identify, notify, collect, and audit fees from coal operators
for the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund. OSM seeks to
maximize voluntary compliance with the SMCRA’s reclamation fee provisions.
Executive direction and administration.—This activity provides funding for executive direction, general administrative
support, and the acquisition of certain agency-wide common
services such as rent, telephones, and postage.

The U.S. Geological Survey conducts research and provides
scientific data and information concerning natural hazards
and environmental issues as well as on the water, land, and
mineral and biological resources of the Nation. It works with
other Federal agencies to determine national priorities and
to encourage increased data-production partnerships, data
sharing, and adherence to standards for production of geographic, geologic, biologic and water data.
National mapping program.—The national mapping program collects, integrates, and makes available, in printed and
digital format, cartographic and geographic base data, remotely sensed data, data made available from classified
sources, and multipurpose and special-purpose maps. Research is conducted in the mapping sciences, geography, and
related disciplines in support of data production and applications. Activities related to the National Spatial Data Infrastructure support interagency and intergovernmental partnerships for establishing a national geospatial data clearinghouse, developing data standards, organizing regional coordination, and developing a data framework [data set] for the
Nation.
Geologic hazards, resources, and processes.—The national
program of onshore and offshore geologic research and investigations produces: (1) information on geologic hazards, such
as earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides; (2) geologic information for use in the management of public lands and in
national policy determinations; (3) information on the chemistry and physics of the Earth, its past climate, and the geologic processes by which it was formed and is being modified;
(4) geologic, geophysical, and geochemical maps and analyses
to address environmental, resource, and hazards concerns;
and (5) hazards, resource, and environmental assessments
as well as improved methods and instrumentation for detecting and monitoring hazards, disseminating hazards information, and conducting assessments.
Water resources investigations.—The national program of
water resources monitoring, investigations, and research has
the objective of appraising the Nation’s water resources and
ensuring that the information necessary to develop and manage them efficiently and effectively is available when needed.
The program produces data, analyses, and assessments to
support Federal, State and local government decisions on

water planning, water management, water quality, energy
development, and enhancement of the quality of the environment.
Biological research.—The national program of biological research: (1) conducts biological research and inventories; (2)
provides scientific information access for the management of
biological resources; and (3) predicts the consequences of environmental change and the effects of alternative management
actions on plants, animals, and their habitats. The program
conducts the high priority biological research needed by the
Department of the Interior’s land management bureaus and
also operates the Cooperative Research Unit program which
provides research and information to resource managers,
trains natural resource professionals and accesses university
and State scientist expertise and facilities.
General administration.—General administrative expenses
provide for management, executive direction and coordination,
and administrative and information resources management
services to the Bureau, human resources management, and
the Washington Administrative Service Center.
Facilities.—This activity finances: (1) operation and maintenance, facilities management, and special support services
for the operation of the National Center headquarters; and,
(2) some services for major field centers.
Reimbursable program.—Reimbursements from non-Federal
sources are from States and municipalities for: cooperative
efforts and proceeds from sale to the public of copies of photographs and records; proceeds from sale of personal property;
reimbursements from permittees and licensees of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission; and reimbursements from
foreign countries and international organizations for technical
assistance. Reimbursements from other Federal agencies are
for mission related work performed at the request of the
financing agency.
Funding for the surveys, investigations, and research account is proposed as part of the Research Fund for America.
This proposal highlights the Administration’s priority to providing needed and sustained investments in important Federal research programs on a deficit neutral basis. A discussion
of the Research Fund for America, and two other funds for
the environment and transportation, can be found in Section
II of the Budget volume.

Note.—Collections contained in this account include amounts that have been legislatively reclassified as
intragovernmental funds.

Ecological services.—The Service provides technical assistance to prevent or minimize adverse environmental effects
of development projects; restores trust species habitats; and,
produces wetland maps of the United States. Contaminants
are investigated, monitored, and assessed. Activities are pursued to prevent species from becoming extinct, and to return
them to the point where they are neither threatened nor
endangered.
Refuges and wildlife.—The Service maintains the National
Wildlife Refuge System consisting of 512 units, with waterfowl production areas in 198 counties and 50 coordination
areas, totaling about 93 million acres; directs and coordinates
national migratory bird programs; and, enforces Federal wildlife laws and regulations.
Fisheries.—The Service is responsible for the development,
management, protection and enhancement of interjurisdictional fishery resources, and provides technical assistance related to fish, wildlife and marine mammals.
General administration.—Provides policy guidance, program
coordination, and administrative services to all fish and wildlife programs. The funds also support the Service’s international activities, National Education and Training Center,
and projects through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to restore and enhance fish and wildlife populations.
Funding for refuge maintenance and habitat improvement
in the resource management account is proposed as part of
the Environmental Resources Fund for America. This proposal
highlights the Administration’s priority to provide deficit neutral funding for investments in many of our Nation’s key
environmental programs. A discussion of the Environmental
Resources Fund for America and two other funds for research
and transportation can be found in Section II of the Budget
volume.

Under the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration Fund, natural resource damage assessments will be
performed in order to provide the basis for claims against
responsible parties for the restoration of damaged natural
resources. Funds are appropriated to conduct damage assessments and for program management. In addition, funds will
be received for the restoration of damaged resources and other
activities and for natural resource damage assessments from
responsible parties through negotiated settlements or other
legal actions by the Department of the Interior.
Restoration activities include: (1) the replacement and enhancement of affected resources; (2) acquisition of equivalent

resources and services; and, (3) long-term environmental monitoring and research programs directed to the prevention, containment, and amelioration of hazardous substances and oil
spill sites.
The Fund operates as a departmentwide program, incorporating the expertise of its various bureaus and offices. Natural resource damage assessments and the restoration of
damaged natural resources are authorized by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), the
Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (P.L. 101–380), and the Act of July
27, 1990 (P.L. 101–337). Since 1992, amounts received by
the United States from responsible parties for restoration or
reimbursement in settlement of natural resource damages
may be deposited in the Fund and shall accrue interest.

are sufficient to complete the restoration program. Restoration
activities were initiated in 1992 and habitat protection was
begun in 1993.
Habitat protection and acquisition is one of the principal
tools of restoration. The Trustee Council has underway two
habitat protection and acquisition programs, a large parcel
program that protects blocks of land in excess of 1,000 acres
and a small parcel program that recognizes the unique habitat qualities and strategic restoration value that smaller
tracts provide. Funding from the Exxon Valdez civil and
criminal settlements, the Land and Water Conservation Fund,
and private partnerships work together as an integrated approach to the restoration program. The Council has been
working with large and small landowners, on a willing-seller
basis, in the spill-impacted area to protect approximately
750,000 acres of habitat.

EXXON VALDEZ RESTORATION PROGRAM

The budget incorporates the receipts and mandatory spending associated with the 1991 Exxon Valdez oil spill civil and
criminal settlements. Receipts for restoration activities from
1992 through 2001 are currently estimated to total $687 million. Not included in the receipts is $108 million which is
currently allocated to the Restoration Reserve to address restoration activities beyond 2001. The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill
Trustee Council was formed to act on behalf of the public
as trustees in the collection and joint use of all civil settlement recoveries. The criminal settlement funds are managed
separately by the Federal and Alaska State governments, although activities are coordinated with the Trustee Council
to maximize restoration benefits.
Funding from the settlements, as well as interest, is provided to the Federal and Alaska State governments to restore
the resources and services damaged by the 1989 oil spill.
Based upon the current assessment of damages, these funds

These funds are used to acquire areas which have native
fish and/or wildlife values and provide natural resource benefits over a broad geographical area, and for acquisition management activities.
Funding for the Land acquisition account is proposed as
part of the Environmental Resources Fund for America. This
proposal highlights the Administration’s priority to provide
deficit neutral funding for investments in many of our Nation’s key environmental programs. A discussion of the Environmental Resources Fund for America and two other funds
for research and transportation can be found in Section II
of the Budget volume.

Restoration Fund. The funding for the North American Wetlands Conservation Fund is authorized by the North American Wetlands Conservation Act, Public Law 101–233. The
Act established the North American Wetlands Conservation
Council, which recommends wetlands conservation projects for
the approval of the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission.
These projects help fulfill the habitat protection, restoration
and enhancement goals of the North American Waterfowl
Management Plan, the Act and the Tripartite Agreement
among Mexico, Canada and the United States. These projects
may involve partnerships with public agencies and private
entities, with non-Federal matching contributions, and will
provide for the long-term conservation of habitat for migratory
birds and other fish and wildlife, including species that are
listed, or are candidates to be listed, under the Endangered
Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531).
Wetlands conservation projects include the obtaining of a
real property interest in lands or waters, including water
rights; the restoration, management or enhancement of habitat; and training and development for conservation management in Mexico. Funding may be provided for assistance for
wetlands conservation projects in Canada or Mexico.
Funding for the North American Wetlands Conservation
Fund is proposed as part of the Environmental Resources
Fund for America. This proposal highlights the Administration’s priority to provide deficit neutral funding for investments in many of our Nation’s key environmental programs.
A discussion of the Environmental Resources Fund for America and two other funds for research and transportation can
be found in Section II of the Budget volume.

The Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund
provides grants to States and U.S. territories to participate
in conservation, recovery, and monitoring projects for species
that are listed, or species that are candidates for listing,
as threatened or endangered. The Fund is authorized by the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531–1543), and financed by permanent appropriations from
the General Fund of the U.S. Treasury in an amount equal
to 5 percent of receipts deposited to the Federal aid in wildlife
and sport fish restoration accounts. The actual amount available for grants is subject to annual appropriations. Grants
are also awarded to States for land acquisition in support
of Habitat Conservation Plans with local governments and
other interested parties to protect species while allowing development to continue.

The Refuge Revenue Sharing Act (16 U.S.C. 715s) authorizes revenues through the sale of products from Service lands,
less expenses for producing revenue and activities related
to revenue sharing. The Fish and Wildlife Service makes payments to counties in which Service lands are located. If the
net revenues are insufficient to make full payments according
to the formula contained in the Act, direct appropriations
are authorized to make up the difference.

In 1997, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service initiated the
recreational fee demonstration program at selected refuges
and other public sites authorized by the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996, as amended. Entrance fees and other user receipts collected at sites
that had no pre-existing fee program will be deposited in
this account. Receipts collected at sites with previously established user fee programs will be deposited into the Recreational fee demonstration program account, in accordance
with a legislatively prescribed formula.
The fee program demonstrates the feasibility of user-generated cost recovery for the operation and maintenance of
recreation areas or sites and habitat enhancement projects
on Federal lands. Fees are used primarily at the site to improve visitor access, enhance public safety and security, address backlogged maintenance needs, and meet other operational needs.

Since fiscal year 1992 the Sport Fish Restoration Fund
has supported coastal wetlands grants pursuant to the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (P.L.
101–646). Additional revenue from small engine fuel taxes
was provided under the Surface Transportation Extension Act
of 1997.
The Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration
Act requires an amount equal to 18 percent of the total deposits into the Sport Fish Restoration Fund, or amounts collected
in small engine fuels excise taxes as provided by 26 U.S.C.
9504(b), whichever is greater, to be distributed as follows:
70 percent shall be available to the Corps of Engineers for
priority project and conservation planning activities; 15 percent shall be available to the Fish and Wildlife Service for
coastal wetlands conservation grants; and 15 percent to the
Fish and Wildlife Service for wetlands conservation projects
under Section 8 of the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (P.L. 101–233).
The Clean Vessel Act of 1992, which expired on September
30, 1997, authorized the Secretary of the Interior to make
grants to States, in specified amounts, to carry out projects
for the construction, renovation, operation, and maintenance
of pumpout stations and waste reception facilities. The Sport
Fish Restoration Act, as amended, provides for the transfer
of funds from the Sport fish restoration account of the Aquatic
Resources Trust Fund for use by the Secretary of the Interior
to carry out the purposes of this Act and for use by the
Secretary of Transportation for State recreational boating
safety programs under section 13106(a)(1) of title 46, United
States Code.
Assistance is provided to States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the
Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the District of Columbia for up to 75 percent
of the cost of approved projects including: research into fisheries problems, surveys and inventories of fish populations,
and acquisition and improvement of fish habitat and provision
of access for public use.

The National Park System contains 376 areas and 83.3
million acres of land in 49 States, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Samoa, and the
Northern Marianas. These areas have been established to
protect and preserve the cultural and natural heritage of the
United States and its territories. Park visits total over 276
million annually. This appropriation funds the operation of
individual units of the National Park System as well as planning and administrative support for the entire system. The
total appropriation request of $1,320,828,000 includes
$8,075,000 in estimated revenue from recreation, user and
entrance fees in accordance with 16 U.S.C. 460l–6a(i)–(j), excluding fees credited to other accounts by law, to remain
available until expended.
Funding for Everglades restoration and the maintenance
subactivity of the Operation of the National Park System
account is proposed as part of the Environmental Resources
Fund for America. This proposal highlights the Administration’s priority to provide deficit neutral funding for investments in many of our Nation’s key environmental programs.
A discussion of the Environmental Resources Fund for America and two other funds for research and transportation can
be found in Section II of the Budget volume.

personnel, visitor centers, directional signs, restrooms, campgrounds, picnic areas, ranger programs, exhibits, park
brochures, lodging, food services, and gift shops. Results shown in the 1997 column are the responses of 25,418
respondents who were surveyed in 18 parks during 1995–96. The most recent survey results compare favorably
to surveys conducted in the past. From 1990 to 1994, 76 percent of 47,552 respondents rated visitor services
as either ‘‘very good’’ or ‘‘good’’, compared to the most recent survey results of 77 percent.

Planning.—Under this activity, the National Park Service
conducts environmental, architectural and engineering studies, as well as planning and design activities.
General management plans.—Under this activity, general
management plans are prepared and revised to guide the
National Park Service in the protection, use, development,
and management of each unit of the National Park System.
Equipment replacement.—Under this activity, automated
and motorized equipment to support park operations and visitor services throughout the National Park System is purchased to replace existing inventories that have met use and
age limitations. Initial inventories of equipment are purchased for units recently added to the system.
Full funding through advance appropriations.—Full funding
of fixed asset acquisitions reduces the risk of cost overruns
from delayed funding and increases accountability for cost
estimates. Advance appropriations are requested to complete
the following construction projects funded through 1998 that
require additional funding in the outyears: Sequoia National
Park ($13 million after 1999); Riis Park in Gateway National
Recreation Area ($5.5 million); Shiloh National Military Park
($10 million); Lake Mead National Recreation Area ($7.55
million); and Elwha River restoration in Olympic National
Park ($16 million).
Funding for the Construction account is proposed as part
of the Environmental Resources Fund for America. This proposal highlights the Administration’s priority to provide deficit neutral funding for investments in many of our Nation’s
key environmental programs. A discussion of the Environmental Resources Fund for America and two other funds for
research and transportation can be found in Section II of
the Budget volume.

National Park Service agreements with private concessioners providing visitor services within national parks can
require the concessioners to deposit a portion of gross receipts
or a fixed sum of money in a separate bank account. A concessioner may expend funds from such an account at the direction of the park superintendent for facilities that directly
support concession visitor services, but would not otherwise
be funded through the appropriations process. Concessioners
do not accrue possessory interests from improvements funded
through these accounts.

This program provides matching grants to cities for the
renovation of urban park and recreation facilities. In 1999
the Administration is proposing funding for a pilot program.

This appropriation finances 60 percent programmatic
matching grants-in-aid to the States, certified local governments, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation for
historic preservation, and direct grants-in-aid for special legislated purposes. This includes grants to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and to Indian tribes. Pursuant to the Omnibus Parks and Public Lands Management
Act (P.L. 104–333), this appropriation includes $15.4 million
in 1999 for grants to specified HBCUs for the preservation
and restoration of historic buildings and structures.
Funding for a portion of the Historic Preservation Fund
account is proposed as part of the Environmental Resources
Fund for America. This proposal highlights the Administration’s priority to provide deficit neutral funding for investments in many of our Nation’s key environmental programs.
A discussion of the Environmental Resources Fund for America and two other funds for research and transportation can
be found in Section II of the Budget volume.
The President’s budget proposes a $50 million increase in
funding for Save America’s Treasures in the National Park
Service Historic Preservation Fund to provide assistance to
public and private entities for commemorating the Millennium
by addressing the Nation’s most urgent preservation priorities. These funds will support one of the most important
tasks facing America at the turn of the century—to preserve
America’s most threatened historical and cultural heritage
for future generations. These treasures include the significant
documents, objects, manuscipts, photographs, works of art,
maps, journals, still and moving images, sound recordings,
historic structures and sites that document and illuminate
the history and culture of the United States.

The National Park Service and other land management
agencies have initiated a demonstration fee program that allows parks and other units to collect new or increased admission and user fees and spend the revenue for park improvements. This temporary authority, provided in section 315 of
section 101(c) of Public Law 104–134 as amended or supplemented by section 319 of section 101(d) of Public Law 104–
208, section 5001 of Public Law 105–18, and sections 107,
320 and 321 of Public Law 105–83, expires at the end of
fiscal year 1999. The authorizing legislation has been amended to make all fee revenue at demonstration sites available
for obligation in the National Park Renewal Fund beginning
in fiscal year 1998. To ensure that fee revenue remains available for park improvements after 1999, the Administration
will propose legislation providing permanent fee authority to
take effect once the current authority expires.

The Operation of Indian Programs appropriation consists
of a wide range of services and benefits provided to Indian
Tribes, Alaskan Native groups, and individual Native Americans. As part of a joint Department of the Interior and Department of Justice initiative to address the serious crime
problem on many reservations, an increase of $25 million
in new funding for law enforcement is included in Operation
of Indian Programs for FY 1999.
Tribal priority allocations.—This activity includes the majority of funds used to support ongoing programs at the local
Tribal level. Funding priorities for base programs included
in Tribal Priority Allocations are determined by Tribes. Although budget estimates include specific amounts for individual programs, funds may be shifted among programs within
the total available for a Tribe or a BIA agency office at the
time of budget execution.
Other recurring programs.—This activity includes ongoing
programs for which funds are (1) distributed by formula, such
as elementary and secondary school operations and Tribal
community colleges; and (2) for resource management activities that carry out specific laws or court-ordered settlements.
Non-recurring programs.—This activity includes programs
that support Indian reservation and Tribal projects of limited
duration, such as noxious weed eradication, cadastral surveys,
and forest development, and special law enforcement.
Central office operations.—This activity supports the executive, program, and administrative management costs of
central office organizations, most of which are located in
Washington, DC, and Albuquerque, NM.
Area office operations.—The Bureau of Indian Affairs has
12 area offices located throughout the country. Area Directors
have line authority over agency office superintendents. Most
of the agency offices are located on Indian reservations. Virtually all of the staff and related administrative support costs

for area and agency offices are included within this activity.
Area Directors have flexibility in aligning their staff and resources to best meet the program requirements of the Tribes
within their area.
Special programs and pooled overhead.—Most of the funds
in this activity support bureau-wide expenses for items such
as unemployment compensation, workers compensation, facilities rentals, telecommunications, and data processing. This
activity includes the Bureau’s two post-secondary schools, the
Indian police academy, law enforcement, the Indian Arts and
Crafts Board, the Indian Integrated Resources Information
Program, and non-education facilities operation and maintenance.
Funding for a portion of the Operation of Indian Programs
account is proposed as part of the Environmental Resources
Fund for America. This proposal highlights the Administration’s priority to provide deficit neutral funding for investments in many of our Nation’s key environmental programs.
A discussion of the Environmental Resources Fund for America and two other funds for research and transportation can
be found in Section II of the Budget volume.

Until October 1, 1994, the United States exercised jurisdiction over the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands according
to the terms of the 1947 Trusteeship Agreement between
the United States and the Security Council of the United
Nations. These responsibilities were carried out by the Department of the Interior.
The Department of the Interior is seeking no additional
appropriations for the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.
Compacts of Free Association have been implemented with
the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and, as of October 1, 1994, the Republic of
Palau. Assistance to the Republic of Palau is now contained
in the ‘‘Compact of Free Association’’ account.
Remaining funds in the ‘‘Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands’’ account will be used to meet final transition responsibilities of the United States. Outlays from numerous ongoing infrastructure construction projects in the Republic of
Palau and the other two entities will continue as provided
by the Compacts of Free Association and appropriation laws,
and will be reported as Trust Territory expenditures until
such time as the activities cease.

Public Law 95–348 requires that certain revenues collected
by the U.S. Treasury involving Guam and the Virgin Islands
(income taxes withheld and excise taxes) be paid prior to
the start of the fiscal year of collection. The 1999 request
is for the 2000 advanced payment.
PAYMENTS TO THE UNITED STATES TERRITORIES, FISCAL ASSISTANCE

The peoples of the Marshall Islands and the Federated
States of Micronesia approved Compacts of Free Association
negotiated by the United States and their governments. The
Compact of Free Association Act of 1985 (Public Law 99–
239) constituted the necessary authorizing legislation to make
annual payments to the Republic of the Marshall Islands
and the Federated States of Micronesia. Payments began in
fiscal year 1987 and will continue for fifteen years, totalling
an estimated $2.3 billion, to aid in the development of these
sovereign nations. The Compact of Free Association with the
Republic of Palau was implemented under the terms of Public
Law 99–658 on October 1, 1994. This compact will provide
annual benefits to the Republic totalling an estimated $600
million over the fifteen-year period that began at the implementation date.

This permanent appropriation represents the FY 1998 payment of $39,300,000 required by Public Law 105–132. Funds
are transferred from the account to Miscellaneous Trust Account—Tribal Trust Funds and interest earned from the invested principal is available for payment to the Tribe for
educational, health care, recreational, and other projects. The
Act requires that an amount equal to 25 percent of the receipts from the deposits to the Treasury of the United States
for the preceding fiscal year from the power program of the
Pick-Sloan Missouri River basin program, administered by
the Western Area Power Administration, be deposited into
the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Infrastructure Development
Trust Fund. Total deposits are capped at $39,300,000.

This consolidated display presents the activities associated
with the following accounts:
Cochiti Wetfields Solution.—In FY 1994, the Army Corps
of Engineers transferred $4,449,100 pursuant to PL. 102–
358 and the settlement agreement between the Cochiti Tribe,
Corps, and Department of Interior. This is a sinking fund
with a life expectancy of 50 to 100 years. Funds are used
to pay for operation and maintenance, repair, and replacement of the ongoing drainage system for the Cochiti Pueblo.
Funds will be invested and principal and interest may be
used. It is estimated that it will cost the Tribe approximately
$50,000 per year to operate and maintain the drainage system. The $282,000 represents the estimated interest earnings
on the fund.
Tribal Economic Recovery Fund.—This fund is authorized
by the Three Affiliated Tribes and Standing Rock Sioux Tribe
Equitable Compensation Act of 1992 (Public Law 102–575)
and holds funds which have been appropriated pursuant to
the Act.
Beginning in FY 1998, interest earned on the principal
of this fund is available for both Tribes for economic development, education, and social services programs.

(A) by inserting ‘‘(a)’’ immediately before ‘‘The Congress finds
and declares’’; and

‘‘(b) The Congress finds and declares further that—
‘‘(1) subsequent to the enactment of this Act in 1980, the subsistence law of the State of Alaska (AS 16.05) accomplished the goals
of Congress and requirements of this Act in providing subsistence
use opportunities for rural residents of Alaska, both Alaska Native
and non-Alaska Native;
‘‘(2) the Alaska subsistence law was challenged in Alaska courts,
and the rural preference requirement in the law was found in
1989 by the Alaska Supreme Court in McDowell v. State of Alaska
(785 P.2d 1, 1989) to violate the Alaska Constitution;
‘‘(3) since that time, repeated attempts to restore the validity
of the State law through an amendment to the Alaska Constitution
have failed, and the people of Alaska have not been given the
opportunity to vote on such an amendment;
‘‘(4) in accordance with title VIII of this Act, the Secretary of
the Interior is required to manage fish and wildlife for subsistence
uses on all public lands in Alaska because of the failure of State
law to provide a rural preference;
‘‘(5) the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals determined in 1995 in
State of Alaska v. Babbitt (73 F.3d 698) that the subsistence priority required on public lands under section 804 of this Act applies
to navigable waters in which the United States has reserved water
rights as identified by the Secretary of the Interior;
‘‘(6) management of fish and wildlife resources by State governments has proven successful in all 50 States, including Alaska,

original intent of Congress to protect and provide for the continued
opportunity for subsistence uses on public lands for Alaska Native
and non-Alaska Native rural residents through the management
of the State of Alaska.’’.

taking or use of that fish and wildlife that have been established
over a reasonable period of time, taking into consideration the
availability of the fish and wildlife;

furbearers, the limited noncommercial exchange for money of fish
and wildlife or their parts in minimal quantities; and

expectation of success, and does not mean a guarantee that fish
and wildlife will be taken.’’.

3115) is amended—
(A) in subsection (a) by striking ‘‘one year after the date of

participation specified in sections 803, 804, and 805, the Secretary
shall not implement subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this section, and
the State may immediately assume management for the taking of
fish and wildlife on the public lands for subsistence uses pursuant
to this title. Upon assumption of such management by the State,
the Secretary shall not implement subsections (a), (b), and (c) of
this section unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that
such laws have been repealed, modified, or implemented in a way
that is inconsistent with, or does not provide for, the definition,
preference, and participation specified in sections 803, 804, and 805,
or that the State has failed to cure any such inconsistency after
such determination. The State laws shall otherwise supercede such
sections insofar as such sections govern State responsibility pursuant
to this title for the taking of fish and wildlife on the public lands
for subsistence uses. The Secretary may bring a judicial action to
enforce this subsection.
‘‘(2)(A) Laws establishing a system of local advisory committees
and regional advisory councils consistent with section 805 shall provide that the State rulemaking authority shall consider the advice
and recommendations of the regional councils concerning the taking
of fish and wildlife populations on public lands within their respective
regions for subsistence uses. The regional councils may present recommendations, and the evidence upon which such recommendations
are based, to the State rulemaking authority during the course of
the administrative proceedings of such authority. The State rulemaking authority may choose not to follow any recommendation
which it determines is not supported by substantial evidence presented during the course of its administrative proceedings, violates
recognized principles of fish and wildlife conservation or would be
detrimental to the satisfaction of rural subsistence needs. If a recommendation is not adopted by the State rulemaking authority, such
authority shall set forth the factual basis and the reasons for its
decision.
‘‘(B) The members of each regional advisory council established
under this subsection shall be appointed by the Governor of Alaska.
Each council shall have ten members, four of whom shall be selected
from nominees who reside in the region submitted by tribal councils
in the region, and six of whom shall be selected from nominees
submitted by local governments and local advisory committees. Three
of these six shall be subsistence users who reside in the subsistence
resource region and three shall be sport or commercial users who
may be residents of any subsistence resource region. Regional council

amended by inserting the following as subsection (b):

only if they are arbitrary, capricious, or an abuse of discretion, or
otherwise not in accordance with law. When reviewing any action
within the specialized knowledge of a State agency, the court shall
give the decision of the State agency the same deference it would
give the same decision of a comparable Federal agency.’’.
(8) REGULATIONS.—Section 814 (16 U.S.C. 3124) is amended—

made by this section, or exercise of authority pursuant to this section
may be construed to validate, invalidate, or in any way affect—
(1) any assertion that an Alaska Native organization (including
a federally recognized tribe, traditional Alaska Native council, or
Alaska Native council organized pursuant to the Act of June 18,
1934 (25 U.S.C. 461 et seq.), as amended) has or does not have
governmental authority over lands (including management of, or
regulation of the taking of, fish and wildlife) or persons within
the boundaries of the State of Alaska;
(2) any assertion that Indian country, as defined in section 1151
of title 18, United States Code, exists or does not exist within
the boundaries of the State of Alaska;
(3) any assertion that the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.) is or is not
Indian law; or

State of Alaska which provide for the definition, preference, and
participation specified in sections 803, 804, and 805 of the Alaska

manufacturing costs, fails to provide at least 60 percent of normal
profit and risk of the appraised timber, except at the written request
by a prospective bidder. Program accomplishments shall be based

than the annual average portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the current Tongass Land Management Plan meeting
the 60 percent of the normal profit and risk standard at the time
of advertisement, the volume of western red cedar available to domestic processors at domestic rates in the contiguous 48 States shall
be that volume: (1) which is surplus to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska; and (2) is that percent of the surplus western
red cedar volume determined by calculating the ratio of the total
timber volume which has been sold on the Tongass to the annual
average portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity called for in
the current Tongass Land Management Plan. All additional western
red cedar volume not sold to Alaska or contiguous 48 States domestic
processors may be exported and sold at export rates at the election
of the timber sale holder. All Alaska yellow cedar may be sold at
export rates at the election of the timber sale holder.¿
