United States119th CongressS-480Senate
Updated: Feb 6, 2025
Summary
This bill mandates that forest supervisors of specific National Forest System units submit harvesting improvement reports. These covered NFS units are those where timber sales are less than two-thirds of their allowable sale quantity, and the reports must identify actionable steps to increase timber volume, requiring consultation with various stakeholders. Supervisors must demonstrate progress within one year, and if a unit fails to reach three-quarters of its allowable sale quantity after review, the Secretary of Agriculture will allocate resources, including personnel and expedited environmental reviews, to support improvements, though waivers are possible for reasons like natural disasters.
