  • Sweeping Changes Ahead at the Interior Department: Energy Reforms, Organizational Overhaul, and Workforce Reductions

    Sweeping Changes Ahead at the Interior Department: Energy Reforms, Organizational Overhaul, and Workforce Reductions
    2025/05/15
    Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has been at the center of significant changes within the Department of the Interior in recent days. On May 13, 2025, the Department announced plans to streamline oil and gas leasing processes to advance energy independence and economic growth. The Interior will initiate action to rescind the Bureau of Land Management's Intermittent Energy Rule, aligning with President Trump's agenda to eliminate regulatory burdens.

    This follows a controversial move from late April when Burgum gave Tyler Hassen, a former oil executive and representative of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team, sweeping authority to reshape the department. The order, signed on April 18, grants Hassen the power to "effectuate the consolidation, unification and optimization of administrative functions" within the Interior Department.

    Conservation groups have expressed alarm at this development, with some accusing Secretary Burgum of stepping aside to give Musk and his team broad authority that could potentially impact park rangers, public land managers, and wildfire specialists across the country. Critics are concerned that a DOGE official with oil industry ties now has significant influence over an agency responsible for managing national parks and more than 500 million acres of federal land.

    The Department is also preparing for organizational changes affecting its workforce. In late April, Interior began soliciting employee resumes in preparation for what appears to be widespread layoffs. A centralization effort is underway to consolidate functions like human resources, IT, finance, contracting, communications, and international affairs away from individual bureaus and into the central department.

    The U.S. Geological Survey informed employees that the department is "evaluating workforce optimization opportunities," including plans for reductions-in-force, though positions critical to the department's mission and public safety would reportedly be exempted.

    Secretary Burgum has maintained a public presence amid these changes, attending a Cabinet meeting in early May and participating in the White House Easter Egg Roll on April 21. The Department continues to release its regular "This Week at Interior" reports, with the most recent editions published on May 2 and May 9, 2025.

    Additionally, a significant geological discovery was reported in the May 9 update, with the U.S. Geological Survey identifying major oil and gas formations, though specific details about these findings were not elaborated.

    These developments signal a period of substantial transition at the Interior Department, with changes to energy policy, organizational structure, and potentially significant workforce reductions on the horizon as the administration pursues its energy independence agenda.

  • "Interior Secretary Doug Burgum at the Center of Major Departmental Restructuring and Workforce Reductions"

    "Interior Secretary Doug Burgum at the Center of Major Departmental Restructuring and Workforce Reductions"
    2025/05/11
    Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has been at the center of several significant developments in recent days. On May 9, 2025, Burgum featured in the Department of Interior's weekly news update, which highlighted a major U.S. Geological Survey finding regarding oil and gas formations[1]. This announcement comes as Burgum's department faces substantial internal restructuring and workforce reductions.

    Earlier this month, on May 2, the Department of Interior announced an expansion of hunting and fishing opportunities, with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service planning to finalize these changes in time for the 2025-2026 hunting seasons[2]. The same day, the Department also revealed plans to update the Offshore Financial Assurance Rule to support future energy development, with finalization expected later in 2025[3]. Secretary Burgum also attended a cabinet meeting where he outlined departmental initiatives[4].

    Perhaps the most consequential recent development is the department's imminent reduction-in-force plans that are expected to affect thousands of employees, including approximately 1,500 at the National Park Service[5]. Interior bureaus have conducted informational webinars about the layoff process, though specific details about timing and affected positions remain limited. A second round of layoffs is anticipated for mid-June, with a possible third deferred resignation offer being discussed between the two reduction phases.

    In a controversial move last month, Burgum signed an order giving Tyler Hassen, the assistant secretary for policy, management and budget, extensive authority to "effectuate the consolidation, unification and optimization of administrative functions" within the Department[7]. Hassen, who previously served in Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team and has ties to the oil industry, now has power to make significant changes to departmental funding and directives.

    Conservation groups have expressed alarm at this development, with some accusing Burgum of stepping aside to give Musk's team broad authority that could potentially result in firing park rangers, public land managers, and wildfire specialists. Critics have voiced concerns about placing such extensive control over national parks and federal lands in the hands of officials with limited experience in these areas[7].

    As these changes unfold, the Department continues its regular operations, with weekly news updates highlighting ongoing initiatives and accomplishments across Interior's various agencies and bureaus.
