The levels shown above do not include $50 million in released emergency funding provided in the 1997 Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act.
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, research, and
the application of fire as a land and resource management
tool.
Wildland Fire Operations.—This activity funds the emergency and unpredictable aspects of the Department’s wildland
fire operations program. Wildland fire operations include the
unpredictable costs of suppressing wildfires, rehabilitating
fire-damaged lands, reducing hazardous fuels through natural
and management ignitions, and monitoring natural fires permitted to burn within established prescriptions. This activity
also includes funding for extraordinary preparedness based
upon abnormal season duration and/or extreme fire potential
as defined in preestablished plans. Emergency rehabilitation
includes costs incurred to prevent land degradation, resource
losses, and other measures necessary to stabilize soil, structures, and other conditions or damage caused by wildland
fires or actions taken to suppress them. Hazardous fuels reduction operations include costs of applying fire and mechanical treatments necessary for fuels reduction. The 1998 funding for this activity is based on the historical 10-year average
of non-emergency appropriations for suppression and rehabilitation, and a target level for hazardous fuels reduction operations.
This budget requests $5.8 billion in contingent funding for
1998, which represents the 1991–1997 average annual emergency spending under the BEA. This fund will be available
to this and other accounts as the need arises. Please see
the Emergency Requirements for Natural Disasters account
in the Funds Appropriated to the President Chapter for more
detailed information. The requested amount for future years
will be based on average annual emergency funding under
the BEA.
The base programs will have access to the proposed contingency fund once all current appropriations in the affected
account/accounts have been obligated, and a Presidential decision has been made to make additional funds available. The
fund is meant to be flexible enough to respond to a variety
of disasters and thus does not reserve or dedicate specific
amounts within the total for the eligible programs. The flexibility of the fund is essential to meet the full range of Federal
disaster funding requirements.

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 under the 1993 Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act to allow the Bureau of Land Management to
more efficiently and effectively address forest health problems
by allowing for prompt salvage and reforestation of
insect-, disease- and fire-damaged forests.
Timber Sale Pipeline Restoration Fund.—This fund provides
for the deposit and use of fees collected by the BLM for
sales of green timber pursuant to the timber salvage provisions of Public Law 104–19. Of the total deposited into this
account, 75 percent is to be used for preparation of timber
sales 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 1998, the Helium program will consist of:
(a) continued storage and transmission of crude helium;
(b) continued marketing of refined helium through April,
1998;
(c) preparation for disposal of helium refining facilities and
other excess property not needed for storage and transmission
of crude helium;
(d) 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.

Section 306 of the Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976 authorizes a BLM working capital fund. The
fund is managed as a self-sustaining revolving fund for purchase and maintenance of vehicles and equipment, purchase
of materials for resource conservation projects, purchase of
uniforms, and other business-type functions.

Environmental Restoration.—This activity funds those functions that contribute to reclaiming lands affected by past coal
mining practices. Funds are used to restore land and water
resources and the environment that have been degraded by
mining prior to the passage of the Surface Mining Control
and Reclamation Act (SMCRA).
This activity provides reclamation grants to qualified
States. It also provides for: the Federal reclamation program,
which includes the Federally-administered emergency reclamation program; high priority projects in States that do
not have a reclamation program and on Federal and Tribal
lands. It also funds the costs of AML program maintenance
and oversight.
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 reclamationrelated problems. This activity also provides resources for
the Small Operators Assistance program.
Financial Management.—This activity provides funds needed to identify, notify, audit, and collect fees from coal operators for the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund. OSM seeks
to maximize voluntary compliance with the SMCRA’s reclamation fee provisions. It also provides for an audit program
to assure that operators are paying fees as required by
SMCRA.
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 water and related resources account supports the development, management, and restoration of water and related
natural resources in the 17 Western States. The account includes funds for operating and maintaining existing facilities
to obtain the greatest overall level of benefits, to protect public safety, and to conduct studies on ways to improve the
use of water and related natural resources. Work will be
done in partnership and cooperation with non-Federal entities
and other Federal agencies.
This new consolidated account encompasses most of the
Bureau of Reclamation’s operations and reflects the evolving
role of the Bureau as a water management agency. By depicting more clearly how Reclamation uses its budgetary resources, this account also will facilitate compliance with the
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA).

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, 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 and volcanoes; (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 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.—This activity: (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. It provides the high priority biological
research needed by the Department of the Interior’s land
management bureaus. This activity 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.

Note.—Amounts shown for Prince William Sound Restoration in 1996 and 1997 are preliminary and subject
to change.

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, cleanup 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). In 1992 and thereafter, 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 therein.

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
are sufficient to complete the restoration program. Restoration
activities were initiated in 1992 and habitat protection was
begun in 1993.
The Trustee Council has completed or has under discussion
thirteen large parcel agreements and numerous small parcel
agreements to acquire land strategically chosen for restoration
value. Approximately $386 million has been set aside from
the two settlements to acquire an estimated 762,000 acres
of land in the Prince William Sound and the Kodiak archipelago areas as fee simple or conservation easements. All the
land was nominated for consideration by its owners.

The Partnerships for Wildlife Act (16 U.S.C. 3741), authorizes wildlife conservation and appreciation projects to conserve the entire array of diverse fish and wildlife species
and to provide opportunities for the public to use and enjoy
these species through nonconsumptive activities. Grants provided to States are directed toward nonconsumptive activities
and the conservation of species not taken for recreation, fur
or food; not listed as endangered or threatened under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973; and not defined as marine
mammals under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972.
Funding is authorized from appropriations and is made available to the extent external matching funds are applied to
the projects.
The Truckee-Carson Pyramid Lake Water Settlement Act,
enacted in 1990, created the Lahontan Valley and Pyramid
Lake Fish and Wildlife Fund, which is authorized to receive
revenues from non-federal parties to support the restoration
and enhancement of wetlands in the Lahontan Valley and
to restore and protect the Pyramid Lake fishery, including
the recovery of two endangered or threatened fish species.
Payments in excess of operations and maintenance costs of
the Stampede Reservoir are available without further appropriations, starting in 1996. Only donations made for express
purposes, state cost-sharing funds and unexpended interest
funds from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Fisheries Fund were
authorized to be expended without further appropriation.
Other receipts were to be available upon appropriation.
The Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Act (16 U.S.C.
5301–5306), authorizes funding for projects for the conservation of rhinoceroses and tigers. Projects will (1) conserve rhinoceroses and tigers, (2) enhance compliance with provisions
of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species and U.S. laws regarding trade or use of habitat, or (3)
develop scientific information on habitat and population
trends.

Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

Funds deposited into this account include direct appropriations and fines, penalties, and forfeitures collected under the
authority of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 707)
and interest on obligations held in the Federal Aid to Wildlife
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.

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. Starting in fiscal year 1997, 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 Migratory
Bird Conservation account and the new Recreational Fee
Demonstration Program account, in accordance with a legislatively prescribed formula.
The new fee program will demonstrate 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 will be 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 Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990
(P.L. 101–508).
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 (P.L. 102–587, Sec. 5604)
directs 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. Sec. 5604 also amends
the Sport Fish Restoration Act to provide 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, the District of Columbia, and American Indian tribal
organizations 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.

personnel, visitor centers, directional signs, restrooms, campgrounds, picnic areas, ranger programs, exhibits, park
brochures, lodging, food services, and gift shops. Results shown in the 1996 column are the responses of over
8,000 respondents who were surveyed in 18 parks during 1994–95. The most recent survey results compare
favorably to surveys conducted in the past. From 1988 to 1993, 74 percent of 15,000 respondents rated visitor
services as either ‘‘very good’’ or ‘‘good’’, compared to the most recent survey results of 77 percent.

dams so that the Elwha River can be restored to provide
long-term benefits, including restored fisheries for the Elwha
Tribe, improved recreation within Olympic National Park, and
additional jobs from restoration projects, fishing and tourism.
In addition to $25 million requested for land acquisition and
construction planning and design in 1998, advance appropriations are being requested in order to fully fund this project,
consistent with a Government-wide effort to improve planning
and budgeting for the acquisition of fixed assets. Full funding
through advance appropriations provides the funding stability
needed for the Secretary to proceed with restoration under
the provisions of Public Law 102–495.
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 for the following construction projects funded in 1998 that require additional funding in the outyears: Sequoia National Park ($16
million after 1998); Independence National Historical Park
($11 million); Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials ($9 million);
Washington Monument ($2 million); Riis Park in Gateway
National Recreation Area ($5.5 million); Minuteman National
Historical Park ($1.2 million); Elwha River restoration in
Olympic National Park ($83.3 million); and Everglades Modified Water Delivery ($31.5 million).

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 new appropriation funds over four years: (1) land acquisition projects, both Federal and non-federal; and (2) authorized modifications, and research, planning, and interagency coordination in support of land acquisition associated
with the restoration of the Everglades watershed. This includes approximately $12 million in 1998, $8 million in 1999,
$18 million in 2000 and $22 million in 2001 for construction
of a critical water management project to modify the flow
of water into Everglades National Park.
The Everglades watershed encompasses areas north of the
Kissimmee River Basin all the way down through Everglades
National Park and into Florida Bay. This vast region is home
to: over 6 million Americans; seven of the ten fastest growing
metropolitan areas in the country; a huge tourism industry;
and a large agricultural economy. It is one of the world’s
most unique environmental resources. Land purchases and
other activities funded through this account will improve
water quality, provide a protective buffer between natural
and urban areas, and serve as water storage areas so that
water releases may be timed to replicate more naturally the
original hydrologic functioning of the region.
In addition, the Administration is proposing legislation to
establish a steady source of funding, in addition to direct
appropriations, for land acquisition and related activities furthering Everglades restoration. The Administration will propose that receipts from an increased marketing assessment
on Florida sugar producers of one-cent per pound (estimated
at approximately $35 million per year) be deposited into the
Fund and be made available without further appropriation.

Proposed legislation would increase the amount of money
that the City of San Francisco pays to the National Park
Service for the City’s use of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in
Yosemite National Park. The amount would increase from
$30,000 to a sum determined by the Secretary of the Interior,
not less than $597,000. The estimate for fiscal year 1998
is $597,000. The funds would be deposited in a special account
and remain available, subject to appropriation, to fund operations of Yosemite National Park and other national parks

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; (2) based upon need, such as facilities
operation and maintenance and special law enforcement; and
(3) 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.
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, the Indian Arts and Crafts Board,
and the Indian Integrated Resources Information Program.

Claims and treaty obligations.—Payments are made to fulfill treaty obligations with the Senecas of New York (act of
February 19, 1831), the Six Nations of New York (act of
November 11, 1794), and the Pawnees of Oklahoma (the treaty of September 24, 1857).
Operation and maintenance, Indian irrigation systems.—
Revenues derived from charges for operation and maintenance
of Indian irrigation projects are used to defray in part the
cost of operating and maintaining these projects (60 Stat.
895).
Power systems, Indian irrigation projects.—Revenues collected from the sale of electric power by the Colorado River
and Flathead power systems are used to operate and maintain those systems (60 Stat. 895; 65 Stat. 254). This activity
also includes Cochiti Wet Field Solution funds that were
transferred from the Corps of Engineers to pay for operation
and maintenance, repair, and replacement of the ongoing
drainage system (P.L. 102–358).
Alaska Resupply Program.—Revenues collected from operation of the Alaska Resupply Program are used to operate
and maintain this program (P.L. 77–457, 56 Stat. 95).
Crow Creek Sioux Tribe Infrastructure Development Trust
Fund.—The Crow Creek Sioux Tribe Infrastructure Development Trust Fund Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–223, 110 Stat.
3026) establishes a Crow Creek Sioux Tribe Infrastructure
Development Trust Fund. Beginning in FY 1997, and for each
fiscal year thereafter, until such time as the aggregate of
the amounts deposited in the Fund is equal to $27,500,000,
the Secretary of the Treasury shall deposit into the fund
an amount equal to 25 percent of the receipts from the deposits to the Treasury for the preceding fiscal year from the
Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin program, administered by the
Western Area Power Administration. This account records the
deposit of funds from the Treasury. Funds will then be transferred to the Miscellaneous Trust Funds account from which
the Secretary will invest such monies on behalf of the Tribe.

COMPACT OF FREE ASSOCIATION

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.

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.
