Section 205 of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self 
Determination Act of 2000, Pub. L. 106-393 (the Act). Topics to be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Act, five Resource Advisory

lands. The Act establishes a six-year payment schedule to local 
counties in lieu of funds derived from the harvest of timber on federal 
lands, which have dropped dramatically over the past 10 years.
    The Act creates a new mechanism for local community collaboration 
with federal land management activities in the selection of projects to 
be conducted on federal lands or that will benefit resources on federal 
lands using funds under Title II of the Act. The BLM Resource Advisory 
Committees consist of 15 local citizens (plus 6 alternates) 
representing a wide array of interests.
