          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Proven Forest Management Act of 2022&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA), when conducting a forest management activity on National Forest System land, to coordinate with impacted parties to increase efficiency and maximize the compatibility of management practices across such land. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;USDA shall conduct such an activity on National Forest System land in a manner that attains multiple ecosystem benefits, including reducing forest fuels and maintaining biological diversity. However, a forest management activity shall not be conducted if the costs associated with attaining such benefits are excessive. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Additionally, the USDA shall (1) establish any post-program ground condition criteria for a ground disturbance caused by a forest management activity required by the applicable forest plan, and (2) provide for monitoring to ascertain the attainment of relevant post-program conditions. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill categorically excludes certain forest management activities for reducing forest fuels from certain environmental impact requirements. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;USDA or the Department of the Interior, as appropriate, in conjunction with land adjustment programs, may enter into contracts and cooperative agreements with a qualified entity to provide for fuel reduction, erosion control, reforestation, Stream Environment Zone restoration, and similar management activities on federal lands and nonfederal lands within such programs.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
