Summary
The Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies appropriations bill contains funding for three dozen agencies and entities. They include most of the Department of the Interior (DOI) as well as agencies within other departments, such as the Forest Service within the Department of Agriculture and the Indian Health Service within the Department of Health and Human Services. The bill also provides funding for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), arts and cultural agencies, and other organizations and entities. Issues for Congress included determining the amount, terms, and conditions of funding for agencies and programs.

P.L. 116-260, enacted on December 27, 2020, contained $38.52 billion for FY2021 for Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies (in Division G). This total included $36.17 billion in regular appropriations and $2.35 billion for wildfire suppression under a discretionary cap adjustment. Earlier, President Trump’s request, a House-passed bill, and a SenateAppropriations Committee majority draft bill all supported this wildfire suppression adjustment; it consisted of $2.04 billion for the Forest Service and $310.0 million for DOI.

Of the $38.52 billion enacted for FY2021, the 11 major DOI agencies in Title I of the law received $13.72 billion, or 35.6% of the total. For EPA, funded in Title II, the FY2021 law contained $9.24 billion, or 24.0% of the total. For the 24 agencies and other entities funded in Title III (“related agencies”), the FY2021 law provided $15.56 billion, or 40.4% of the total. Overall, nearly three-quarters of the $38.52 billion was for five agencies: EPA, Forest Service, Indian Health Service, NationalPark Service, and Bureau of IndianAffairs.

The FY2021 enacted total was $2.19 billion (5.4%) lower than the FY2020 enacted total of $40.72 billion, which included $2.41 billion in emergency supplemental appropriations for coronavirus preparedness and response and activities related to the United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement. However, the FY2021 enacted total was $0.2 million (0.6%) higher than the FY2020 enacted regular appropriation of $38.30 billion (in P.L. 116-94, Division D).

The FY2021 enacted total was $4.46 billion (13.1%) higher than President Trump’s FY2021 request of $34.07 billion. Many agencies in the bill received higher enacted appropriations than President Trump requested, including the EPA, U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Education, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Of the $34.07 billion requested, President Trump had sought the following amounts: for DOI agencies, $12.05 billion, or 35.4% of the total requested; for EPA, $6.70 billion, or 19.7% of the total requested; and for the related agencies in Title III of the bill, $15.31 billion, or 44.9% of the total.

Prior to enactment of P.L. 116-260, the House had passed an earlier FY2021 Interior appropriations bill. H.R. 7608, as passed by the House on July 24, 2020, contained $54.67 billion (in Division C) for agencies in the Interior bill. This total included $39.17 billion in annual appropriations and $15.50 billion in emergency appropriations for additional infrastructure investments of three agencies (EPA, the Indian Health Service, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs). The FY2021 enacted appropriations law did not include this infrastructure funding. To further negotiations between the House and the Senate, on November 10, 2020, the chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations released a draft Interior bill along with a draft accompanying explanatory statement. This Senate Appropriations Committee majority draft bill contained $38.22 billion in annual appropriations.

CRS Report: U.S. Department of the Interior - An Overview

Mark K. DeSantis is the man behind this CRS report (23 June 2021) on one of the most important departments in the U.S. government for Western WaterWonks:  'U.S. Department of the Interior: An Overview'. It's a great summary of the department and its agencies. I've pasted just the summary and several graphics here.

Download CRS_Report_USDOI_Overview_23June2021

Click on the graphics to enlarge them. A list of CRS staffers and their areas of expertise is on page 30.

Summary
The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) is a federal executive department responsible for the administration of lands, minerals, and other resources of the United States. DOI describes its mission as protecting and managing the nation’s natural resources and cultural heritage for the benefit of the American people; providing scientific and scholarly information about those resources and natural hazards; and exercising the nation’s trust responsibilities and special commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and island territories under U.S. administration.

As part of its responsibilities, DOI oversees roughly 420 million acres of federal lands, nearly 55 million acres of tribal lands, more than 700 million acres of subsurface minerals, and about 2.5 billion acres of the outer continental shelf. Each year, Congress deliberates legislation that could affect DOI’s management of this vast federal estate. Understanding the roles and responsibilities of DOI’s various agencies and offices can be valuable when crafting legislation that affects the department’s structure, operations, programs, and funding.

DOI primarily implements its responsibilities and mission through various bureaus that make up more than 90% of the agency’s workforce. These bureaus are the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), National Park Service (NPS), Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Each bureau has a unique mission and set of responsibilities, as well as an organizational structure designed to meet its functional duties. In addition to these bureaus, DOI has multiple departmental offices that are responsible for other programs and provide leadership, coordination, and services to DOI’s various bureaus and programs.

The names, structures, and responsibilities of DOI and its various bureaus and offices have evolved since the establishment of DOI in 1849. These changes and evolutions are regularly subject to congressional oversight and executive branch examination. In recent years, Congress has considered numerous executive branch proposals on DOI organization and management, including the transfer of programs between various agencies and offices, the creation of new offices and/or bureaus, and the consolidation of DOI boundaries across agencies.

In December 2020, DOI employed a staff of 60,634 nationwide across its bureaus and offices, according to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). DOI employment figures fluctuate throughout the year, in part because some bureaus increase seasonal and part-time staff during the summer months. OPM reports the average total DOI employment as 63,175 for the four reporting periods from March 2020 to December 2020. The largest bureau within DOI based on number of staff is NPS, which averaged nearly 19,000 employees during 2020— nearly twice the size of the second-largest bureau, BLM. The smallest bureau by employment is OSMRE, which averaged fewer than 400 employees.

Congress provides discretionary appropriations for DOI through two annual appropriations bills: the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies bill and the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies bill. From FY2017 to FY2021, total DOI appropriations increased 13% in current dollars. Enacted discretionary appropriations for FY2021 totaled $15.4 billion.
