BY THE U.S, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE


Report To The Secretary Of The Interior









Interior's Minerals Management

Programs Need Consolidation To

Improve Accountability And Control


The division of responsibilities between the
Bureau of Land Management and the Miner-
als Management Service for managing Feder-
al fuel and non-fuel mineral resource pro-
grams weakens accountability and control
of the programs. Furthermore, minerals
management programs are fragmented
within the Bureau of Land Management,
whose primary goal is surface land manage-
ment.
As major sources of Federal receipts and
domestic supplies of fuel and non-fuel miner-
als, these programs require but are lacking
clear lines of authority and organization for
efficient operations and program review.
However, the Minerals Management Serv-
ice was established specifically to improve
management, oversight, and accountability
for Federal minerals resources and has the
potential to provide comprehensive manage-
ment of these resources.

GAO recommends that the Secretary of the
Interior consolidate the Department's miner-
als management programs in the Minerals
Management Service.
