Interior discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Interior's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The 2027 budget request for Resource Stewardship is $185,357,000 and 942 FTE, a program change of -$213,318,000 and -845 FTE. At the requested level of funding, the NPS will carry out its mission and provide for the protection and preservation of resources and ensure visitors can safely enjoy and experience national park lands. Operational Efficiency Savings (-$213,318,000 / -845 FTE) - The 2027 Budget proposes funding levels that will reach balance and restore confidence in America's fiscal management. The budget provides funding levels necessary to ensure that parks remain open and accessible by prioritizing operational funding at the park level, focusing on core operations such as law enforcement and safety, visitor services, and facility operations and maintenance. In support of the Administration's efforts on government efficiency, workforce optimization, and responsiveness to the American taxpayer, this budget reduces redundant operations by streamlining burdensome administrative processes; reduces the size of the Federal government through efficiency improvements and consolidations; and prioritizes high -impact investments. This budget also continues to support many national treasures, while fulfilling the urgent need to utilize State, local, and private sector management to ensure the long-term health and sustainment of the National Park system.
