To provide for a limitation on availability of funds for U.S. Department of Interior, United States Geologic Service, Surveys Investigations, and Research for fiscal year 2024.

HR 2171 caps funding for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior for fiscal year 2024 at $1,160,596,000. This bill directly affects the USGS's budget authority for its surveys, investigations, and research programs by setting a strict spending limit. The key provision is a statutory spending cap that prevents the USGS from using more than this specific amount for its core activities during the 2024 fiscal year. This is a straightforward budgetary measure with no new programs or policy changes, solely limiting available funds.
