The Minerals Management Service is the federal agency in the U.S.
Department of the Interior that manages the nation’s oil, natural gas,
and other mineral resources on the Outer Continental Shelf in Federal
offshore waters. The agency also collects, accounts for, and disburses
mineral revenues from Federal and American Indian lands. MMS disbursed
more than $8 billion in FY 2003 and more than $135 billion
since the agency was created in 1982. Nearly $1 billion from those
revenues go into the Land and Water Conservation Fund annually for the
acquisition and development of state and Federal park and recreation
lands.
