Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Investments
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law makes historic investments in the USGS’ efforts to provide vital science to address critical minerals, energy and supply chain issues. As the nation’s principal source of Earth and biological science, the USGS is uniquely positioned to provide a broad spectrum of essential information to a wide range of infrastructure projects.
National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program

The infrastructure law has enabled USGS to continue with $23.7 million of investments in the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP) that the USGS can make available to state geological surveys, as well as funding for projects to USGS and other DOI bureaus to preserve geological and geophysical data and samples.
