Total, management of lands re.sou rces .............. ............................ 379,085,000. Energy resources. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $61,219,000, a reduction of $1,470,000 from the budget estimate and a decrease of $1,470,000 from the House allowance. The budget estimate proposes an increase of $800,000 for the diligent development review of producing but not fully developed leases on Indian lands. This would represent an increase of 100 percent over the 1986 program. The Committee supports the expansion of this type of review but is concerned that an increase of 100 percent may not be effi(5).

6. cient Therefore, the Committee recorrimends a reduction of $400,000 in fiscal 1987 and urges the Bureau 'O consider proposing fut re increase . The budget estimate also proposes an increase of $1,070,000, and a reduction of 42 FfE, related to the completion of high pnority oil and gas inspection , including the delegation to, the State for the co of c~onducting an inspection program on Federal leases. The Committee was not able to deterntine in the hearing which States, if any were prepared to proceed with this program and th · Commrttee recommends that no additional funds be provided un ·1 agreements have been. reached with specific States.

The Commit e recommends an appropriation of $ 5,383 000 an increa e of $5'00 0 · o er the budget estimate and a decrea .e of $100 000 from the Hou e allowance The Committee recommends an 1ncrea e of $500,000 for mining law adm · ·strauon in an ffort to Imp o e management of mining activities in Alaska.

7 The Committee recommends an increase of $2,900,000 for the Wild Horse and Burro Program and $500,000 for noxious weed control projects. The Committee recommends a wild horse and burro removal program of 10,000 excess animals. The 1985 removal program was 18,959 and the 1986 program totaled 14,050. At the 1987 budgeted removal rate of 4,500, the number of excess wild horses and burros would actually increase in 1987. The Committee's recommendation is consistent with current law and policy and represents a humane and environmentally responsible manner of managing the public lands. The Department has recently published revised regulations, eliminating the nonrefundable $25 filing fee, and has also recently established a wild horse and burro advisory committee to recommend future direction for the program. In the meantime, the Committee recommends continuation of the removal program. The Bureau has recently completed a noxious weed control environmental impact statement and the Committee recommends $500,000 to expand the current noxious weed control program in Idaho. The Committee recommends an additional $5,000,000 for grasshopper control projects, pursuant to the provisions of the farm bill and consistent with the memorandum of understanding between the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture. Bill language h~s been included to make the money available until expended. Soil, water, and air management. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $14,469,000, the same as the 1987 budget and a 4ecrease of $650,000 from the House allowance. Wildlife habitat management. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $16,261,000, an increase of $2,460,000 over the budget and an increase of $300,000 over the House allowance. Included within the increase is $1,000,000 to restore the fiscal 198li level for threatened and endangered species. The Committee urges the Bureau to work on baseline data acquisition and monitoring efforts for both plants and animals. The Committee agrees with the House directive urging the Bureau to maintain or bolster its staff of trained botanists in the field within the funds provided. An additional $860,000 is provided to restore base program funds and the 20 FfE. The Bureau will be able to continue its HMP program, as well as its monitoring and inventorying program as usual. The Committee is aware that the Desert Tortoise Research Natural Area and Area of Critical Environmental Concern was designated in 1980 to manage and protect the highest known densities of tortoises and their habitat in the western Mojave Desert. Within the funds available, the Bureau should provide $200,000 to cooperate with the Fish and Wildlife Service to monitor population status, detertt1ine if listing is warranted, increase patrols to prevent illegal collections and guard against damage to habitat The Committee expects a report on this program by March 1, 1987..

8 The Committee is aware of a cooperative program between the Burea ·' Shosho e, ID dtstrict office and the Idaho , epartment of Fish and Game' Jerome regional office to in e tigate wildlife habitat rehabilitation on wil ltfe bums in southwestern Idaho These two parties, In conjunction with conservation organizations, sportsman groups, ltve tock industry, State niversity re earch . , and the general public will develop a comprehensi e plan to detert11ine wil · fe and dome tic habrtat requirements, · e rehabilitation capabilifes project ize, plant species, et cete a, and will joi· tly develop and carryo t a comprehensive public participatio plan to obtain private co t ·but·ons fo funding specific developme t project .

9. Planning and data management. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $24,413,000, the same as the budget estimate and the House allowance. Cadastral survey. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $26,681,000, an increase of $3,990,000 over the budget and an increase of $3,990,000 over the House allowance. Included within the allowance is $3,990,000 to restore- the Alaska cadastral survey program to the 1987 base level of $15,059,000. Firefighting and rehabilitation. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $79,076,000, an increase of $75,000,000 over the budget. estimate and the House allowance. The Committee is providing $75,000,000 over the budget to repay fiscal 1986 firefighting expenses already incurred. The budget resolution assumes later requirements for firefighting and the Committee is appropriating the money at this time rather than wait for the fiscal 1987 supplemental. If the 1986 costs do not total $75,000,000, the remaining balance will be available to finance 1987 costs. Resource protection. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,320,000, the same as the budget estimate and the House allowance. Maintenance and engineering services. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $11,745,000, the same as the budget and a decrease of $1,000,000 from the House allowance. General administration. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $85,101,000, the same as the budget and the House allowance. The BLM is in the process of preparing new resource management plans for lands in western Oregon which will be completed in 1990 according to the new planning schedule. The fundamental purpose of these plans is to bring management activities into comprehensive compliance \vith all the latest environmental standards and procedures. The Secretary of the Interior and the Director of the BLM are directed to comply with all applicable NEPA, CEQ, and other provisions of law in the development of these plans. The Committee believes the use of supplements to existing management plans frustrate and duplicate the ongoing planning process and add unnecessary administrative costs and inefficiencies. Therefore, the Secretary and the Director shall avoid the preparation of supplements to existing management plans in western Oregon, and specifically shall not revise timber harvest base acreage allocations until completion of the new resource management plans noted above. Bureau of Land Management/Forest Service interchange. The Committee recommends no appropriation in fiscal 1987. The legislation proposed for later transmittal has not yet · been enacted. The Committee will reconsider funding requirements, if any, upon enactment. The Committee has agreed to the continuation of a billwide general provision prohibiting the implementation of the jurisdictional interchange proposal until the enactment of legislation..

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $51,572,000, an increase of $2,500,000 over the budget and an increase of $500,000 over the House allowance. Included within the allowance is an increase of $1,000,000 for an analysis and assessment of contaminants in wildlife tissues. The Committee is concerned that the Service's contaminant program be managed effectively. It is apparent that both on-refuge and off-refuge contamination issues, including contamination movement through the food chain and ground water contamination, are among the most serious problems the Service has to face. As the fish and wildlife research and management arrn of the Federal Government, the Service needs to be able to deal with contamination in all its fo1n1s. The increase of $1,000,000 will provide for a detailed review of the sample collection procedures. The Service has 40,000 tissue samples, which is more than 3 years worth of certified laboratory workload, taken in areas of contamination concern. This concerns the Committee, because it would be 3 years before the laboratories can tell the Service what the samples contain. A more reasonable and defined sample program seems essential. The increase will also provide for the development of analytical and quality control procedures relating to tissue sample analysis; to an assessment of the data generated to identify key problems relating to contaminants; and, fmally, for recommendations for appropriate mitigation methods to alleviate identified problems. The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory will manage this contaminant overview contract and provide assistance to the Fish and Wildlife Service to help them meet their contaminant objectives. The Committee notes that the Service has budgeted a contaminant increase of $953,000 in fiscal 1987, up to a level of $5,025,000. The Committee recommends a further increase of $1,000,000 to address community level problems, as an addition to the efforts focusing on single toxic chemicals. An additional $500,000 is recommended to develop.

15 The Committee concurs with the House action to add $20,000 to begin research on purple loo Pstrife, and adds an additional $80,000 to permit the Service to begin work on developing methods to control other exotic plants. The Committee recommends that the Service begin action to deal with all refuge resource problems, including contaminants, and recommends an additional $2,000,000 for this purpose. Tile Committee chooses to provide these funds to the refuge system managers, in keeping with the Director's recent reorganization, and will look to the refuge management system to coordinate with other contaminant staff in the Service to design and implement cleanup programs. Fishery resources. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $49,911,000, an increase of $1,872,000 over the budget estimate and $161,000 over the House. Included in the increase is $250,000 for research on the chinook and chum salmon in the Yukon River. The Committee understands that $265,000 is included within the base for the Pacific Salmon Treaty. Also included in the allowance is $300,000 to offset increased operating costs at the Leetown National Fishery Center, in an effort to continue research and production of striped bass. The Committee restores $936,000 of the proposed reduction for hatchery operations, including operation of the interpretive facilities. The increase does not restore funds for the Frankfort, KY, hatchery. The distribution of the $936,000 increase is as follows: Carbon Hill NFH, AL .................................................................................................... . $126,000 Mammoth Spring NFH, AR ......................................................................................... . 146,000 Welaka NFH, FL (aquarium)........................................................................................ . 15,000 Warm Springs NFH, GA ............................................................................................... . 126,000 Millen NFH, GA (aquarium) ....................................................... ................................. . 15,000 Natchitoches NFH, LA (aquarium and hatchery) .................................................... .. 167,000 Pvt John Allen NFH, MS ............................................................................................. . 147,000 Meridian NFH, MS (aquarium) .................................................................................... . 13,000 Dexter NFH, NM (aquarium) ....................................................................................... . 14,000 Bears Bluff Field Station, SC ........................................................................................ . 85,000 Gavins Point FH, SD (aquarium) ............................................................................. . 46,000 36,000 Washington and regional support ............................ ................................................... . To tal. .......................................................... ·... ···························································. 936,000. The Committee also urges the Service to continue to redirect fish production priorities to support Federal purposes, including such activities as anadromous fish, endangered species, mitigation programs, restoration of nationally significant depleted resources, et cetera. The Committee recommends a reduction of $214,000 associated with /JD analysis and clarification of Fish and Wildlife Service's responsibilities for implementation of fishery mitigation. The Committee agrees that the work is of high priority. In fact, the work seems so basic and essential to the execution of the Service's statutory duties, the Committee wonders what the 55 FTE and $2,057,000 that are budgeted in fiscal 1986 are being used for that are of higher priority. To propose an increase to detertnine your statutory responsibilities seems to be the es-.

16 ence of poor management. If the agency can t detennine what it is to be doing in the area of mitigation with the current resources of 55 FTE and over $2 000,000, and still provide technical assistance as appropriate, the Committee do,ubts if the agency ,could deterr11ine it with another $214 000 n additional $400t000 i · pro ided to partially restore hatchery opera·ons and maint nance reduction and $200,000 is provided to partially restore esearch maintenance and equipment replacement needs. The Committee rec mrnendatton funds the Bears Bluff field station in South Carolina at the budgeted area and does not agree to transfer the fac·lity to South Ca olina. Enda11gered species. The Committee recommends an appropriation of 29,08 -, 00, an incr a e of $5,925,000 ver the budget and a de.r ·a e o l 0 00 om the · ouse allowance. n d d in e owance ts $500,000 o be used for prelisting ac .. tu . ft ·n uffic1 nt work 1s done n species until they bern c ·ric 11 thr t ned.

17 General administration. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $40,886,000, an increase of $4,253,000 over the budget and over the House. Included in the allowance is $3,653,000 to provide for the current estimated shortfall between the budget and the Department's current estimates for fiscal 1987. The increase is comprised of $1,853,000 for a revised estimate of fixed costs and $1,800,000 to adjust for estimates of administrative savings estimated for fiscal 1986 that did not occur and that are not estimated to occur in fiscal 1987. Also included is $500,000 for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to initiate a matching grant program as authorized, and $100,000 to continue the support of the foundation. It is the Committee's intention that this be the last year of funding for the administrative support for the foundation. Any savings that can be achieved in fiscal 1987 administrative support may be redirected to matching grants. The Committee is aware that, for the past 12 years, the University of Georgia has been conducting extensive research on the ecology and management of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness Area. In order to expand the range and effectiveness of this important research, the university has proposed the construction of a jointly funded Okefenokee Research and Education Center which would provide onsite laboratory facilities, and which would also provide both the university and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service visitor education and interpretation opportunities. The total cost of the original proposal was projected at approximately $1,400,000, of which the State of Georgia has already appropriated $500,000. The Committee directs the Service to consult with the State of Georgia, the University of Georgia, and any other appropriate local authorities to determine the feasibility and practicability of this proposal, and to report to the Committee within 6 months following enactment of the 1987 Interior and Related Agencies appropriations bill with its recommendations for further action. Permanent appropriations. The "Sport fish restoration" a.ccount and the "Federal aid in wildlife restoration'' account are each proposed for a 26 FTE reduction in fiscal 1987. The sport fish restoration FTE reduction is justified by the elimination of the national survey of hunting and fishing; the library reference services; the reservoir data and storage retrieval; and the Aquatic Education Training Program. The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Program was subject to the same proposed reductions plus the elimination of DAPA research; satellite tracking development; and support for the Migratory Bird Program. Both pern1anent programs were also proposed for significant reductions in the program administrative serv_ices and the common program services activities. The Committee recognizes that any reduction in these administrative and support costs are passed through to the States in the fottil of additional financial assistance. However, the Committee has received numerous complaints and objections to the proposed restructuring of the ad-.
