The U.S. Bureau of Mines, with the Secretary of the Interior's approval, must research mining and mineral use to improve safety, efficiency, and resource conservation. It also studies explosives, peat, and government-owned mineral fuels, and shares what it learns with the public.

It is the job of the United States Bureau of Mines, subject to the Secretary of the Interior's approval, to run inquiries and scientific and technical investigations into mining, and into how mineral substances are prepared, treated, and used. The goal is to improve health conditions, increase safety and efficiency, support economic development, and conserve resources by cutting waste in mining, quarrying, metal-processing, and other mineral industries. The Bureau must also look into the economic conditions affecting these industries, investigate explosives and peat, and, on the government's behalf, investigate mineral fuels and unfinished mineral products that belong to or are used by the United States, aiming for the most efficient mining, preparation, treatment, and use of them. Finally, the Bureau must share information about all of this in whatever way best serves the purposes of sections 1, 3, and 5 through 7 of this title.
