States, territories, national forests, and other cooperators are asked to report annual accomplishment data in three online systems (see below). Data from these three systems are tabulated and summarized in PMAS to provide national accomplishment information for Cooperative Forestry (CF).

For FY 2004, annual reporting of Cooperative Forestry accomplishments is due November 12, 2004. A summary of reporting elements can be found in the 2004 PMAS Desk Guide . This package reflects a yearlong effort in 2003 to revise the CF performance management system. The goal of the revision was to reduce the burden of data collection and also create a more meaningful set of information.

Validation of data by regions/area/institute before it is submitted is important to assure data quality and consistency. Enter or review data online as follows:
