SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Cherokee National Forest Resource

of Agriculture under Section 203 of the Secure Rural Schools and 
Community Self Determination Act of 2000, (as reauthorized as part of 
Pub. L. 110-343). The Cherokee National Forest RAC consists of 15 
people selected to serve on the committee by Secretary of Agriculture 
Tom Vilsack. Two Tennessee counties, Cocke and Monroe, are setting 
aside a percentage of their Secure Rural Schools Act payment under 
Title II of the Act to be used for projects on Federal land. The RAC 
will ultimately review and recommend projects to be funded from this 
money. Projects approved must benefit National Forest land. Projects 
can maintain infrastructure, improve the health of watersheds and 
ecosystems, protect communities, and strengthen local economies.
    The agenda for the first meeting of the Cherokee National Forest 
RAC will focus on a general overview of the Secure Rural Schools Act 
and election of a chairperson. RAC meetings are open to the public.
