There is established in the Treasury of the United States a fund, to be known as the State-Supported Forest Management Fund , to cover the cost of planning (especially related to compliance with section 102(2) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ( 42 U.S.C. 4332(2) )), carrying out, and monitoring certain forest management activities on National Forest System lands or public lands. The State-Supported Forest Management Fund shall consist of such amounts as may be— contributed by an eligible entity for deposit in the Fund; appropriated to the Fund; or generated by forest management activities carried out using amounts in the Fund.
In making a contribution under subsection (b)(1), an eligible entity may— specify the National Forest System lands or public lands for which the contribution may be expended; and limit the types of forest management activities for which the contribution may be expended. In such amounts as may be provided in advance in appropriation Acts, the Secretary concerned may use the Fund to plan, carry out, and monitor a forest management activity that— is developed through a collaborative process; is proposed by a resource advisory committee; or is covered by a community wildfire protection plan.
A forest management activity carried out using amounts in the Fund may be carried out using a contract or agreement under section 604 of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 ( 16 U.S.C. 6591c ), the good neighbor authority provided by section 8206 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 ( 16 U.S.C. 2113a ), a contract under section 14 of the National Forest Management Act of 1976 ( 16 U.S.C. 472a ), or other authority available to the Secretary concerned, but revenues generated by the forest management activity shall be used to reimburse the Fund for planning costs covered using amounts in the Fund.
Subject to subsection (e), revenues generated by a forest management activity carried out using amounts from the Fund shall be considered monies received from the National Forest System. The Act of June 9, 1930 (commonly known as the Knutson-Vanderberg Act; 16 U.S.C. 576 et seq. ), shall apply to any forest management activity carried out using amounts in the Fund. The Fund shall terminate 10 years after the date of the enactment of this Act. Upon the termination of the Fund pursuant to paragraph
(1)or pursuant to any other provision of law, unobligated contributions remaining in the Fund shall be returned to the eligible entity that made the contribution.
