What Is This Program?

This program provides federal payments to States and eligible counties with National Forest System lands to help replace reduced timber-related revenues. The assistance supports schools and roads in rural communities and is unique in that payments are statutorily authorized and based on historical revenue levels, providing predictable funding regardless of current timber harvest levels. Each state must spend the funds on road and school programs, and state law sets forth how the payments are to be allocated between road and school projects. State laws differ widely, generally ranging from 30% to 100% for school programs.
