SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Act, five Resource Advisory

contain Oregon & California (O&C) Grant Lands and Coos Bay Wagon Road
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.
