Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act
The Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act was reauthorized in Public Law 110-343 for four fiscal years, 2008 through 2011.
The purposes of the Act are to:
- stabilize payments to states for public schools and roads in the counties in which national forests are located
- to invest in the land and create employment opportunities
- to improve cooperative relationships among the people that use and care for national forests and
- to provide funds to counties for certain authorized uses
The Forest Service Secure Rural Schools webpage has information on all four titles of the Act. The Secure Rural Schools Act authorized the establishment of resource advisory committees to improve collaboration among all those who enjoy and care for the national forests; to provide advice to Forest Service about projects that maintain and improve national forest watersheds, ecosystems and habitats; and, to help create employment opportunities. The Forest Service Resource Advisory Committees (RAC) webpage has information about the committees and the Title II projects proposed for funding under the Act.
Federal Advisory Committee Act
The Federal Advisory Committee Act was enacted in 1972 to ensure that advice by the various advisory committees formed over the years is objective and accessible to the public.
