For example. tourism. marine fisheries. and economic development assistance programs are all found in the Department of Commerce. Interior also finds itself in a difficult position in dealing with other agencys programs as they apply in the islands. Congress often provides special treatment for the islands in order to respond to local conditions. For example: Tax. trade. immigration. labor. and environmental laws are applied differently in either all. or some. of the islands. As disputes arise over the implementation of such special provisions. island governments look to Interior to support their interests. Unfortunately. other agencies generally discount Interiors views regarding nonInterior programs.
