Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee
Budget Request for the U.S. Department of the Interior for Fiscal Year 2025
The purpose of the hearing is to examine the President’s budget request for the U.S. Department of the Interior for Fiscal Year 2025.
Witness:- Deb Haaland, Secretary of the Interior
The Department’s 2025 budget totals $18.0 billion in current authority ($17.8 billion in net discretionary authority)—an increase of $575.9 million, or 3 percent, from the 2024 continuing resolution (CR) level. An additional $360.0 million is accessible through a budget cap adjustment for wildfire suppression to ensure funds are available in the event the regular annual appropriation is inadequate to meet suppression needs. The budget also includes an estimated $14.8 billion in permanent funding available in 2025.
