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.
