To support its mission, the Department of the Interior owns and manages thousands of assets, which are defined as anything that has been constructed on public lands and waters. With the first two years of funding, bureaus are using GAOA funding to address deferred maintenance and repairs on 1,590 assets across the country on public lands and at Bureau of Indian Education-funded schools. These assets are divided into seven broad categories: Recreational Assets, Mission Support and Administrative Assets, Housing, Transportation Assets, Schools & Associated Buildings, Non-Transportation Infrastructure, and All Other Assets. Learn more about these asset categories on the Projects page.
GAOA dollars are already hard at work updating buildings, improving BIE-funded schools, repairing roads, and creating more access to recreational opportunities. The total obligated GAOA funding represents the total amount the government has agreed to pay for LRF projects and activities. A signed contract, services performed by employees, and placing an order for goods are examples of obligations because it requires the government to make a payment
immediately or in the future.
Total Obligated GAOA Funding as of December 31, 2022: $1,684,070,513
