## Sec. 9 National Forest System Program Elements **[**[16 U.S.C. 1607](/us/usc/t16/s1607)**]** The Secretary shall take such action as will assure that the development and administration of the renewable resources of the National Forest System are in full accord with the concepts for multiple use and sustained yield of products and services as set forth in the Multiple-Uses Sustained-Yield Act of 1960. To further these concepts, the Congress hereby sets the year 2030 as the target year when the renewable resources of the National Forest System shall be in an operating posture whereby all backlogs of needed treatment for their restoration shall be reduced to a current basis and the major portion of planned intensive multiple-use sustained-yield management procedures shall be installed and operating on an environmentally-sound basis.
The annual budget shall contain requests for funds for an orderly program to eliminate such backlogs: *Provided,* That when the Secretary finds that
(1)the backlog of areas that will benefit by such treatment has been eliminated;
(2)the cost of treating the remainder of such area exceeds the economic and environmental benefits to be secured from their treatment; or
(3)the total supplies of the renewable resources of the United States are adequate to meet the future needs of the American people, the budget request for these elements of restoration may be adjusted accordingly.
