Revenue model

1. Federal Appropriations: DOI receives annual congressional appropriations to fund operations across its bureaus including National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Fish and Wildlife Service, and others. These appropriations support conservation, resource management, and public services.
2. Oil, Gas, and Coal Royalties and Leasing: DOI generates revenue through leasing federal lands and waters for energy extraction. The department collects royalties (reduced from 12.5% to 7% for federal coal under current administration), bonus bids, and rental payments from energy companies. Revenue from federal fossil fuel production on public lands and the Outer Continental Shelf.
3. Recreation Fees: DOI collects fees from visitors to national parks and public lands, including entrance fees, annual passes, and special use permits. International visitors pay an additional $100 per park visit with annual passes increased from $80 to $250 for non-U.S. residents.
4. Grazing Fees and Permits: Revenue from grazing leases on Bureau of Land Management lands, where cattle ranchers receive subsidized leases. The Taylor Grazing Act governs grazing on federal lands.
5. Lease Buybacks and Settlements: DOI has paid billions to terminate offshore wind leases, reimbursing companies for investments in exchange for abandoning renewable energy projects and redirecting capital to fossil fuel development. Deals include TotalEnergies (~$928M), Invenergy ($765M), Duke Energy ($129M), and Golden State Wind ($120M).
