allowable sales quantity of the national forest system for the Forest 
Service or the allowable sales level for the Oregon and California 
grant lands for the Bureau of Land Management, respectively, have been 
prepared.
    (e) Any timber sales prepared and recreation projects completed 
under this section shall comply with all applicable environmental and 
natural resource laws and regulations.

        that no funding provided through a grant, except a grant made 
        to a State or regional group, may be used to make a grant to 
        any other organization or individual to conduct activity 
        independent of the direct grant recipient. Nothing in this 
        subsection shall prohibit payments made in exchange for goods 
        and services.
            (c) No grant shall be used for seasonal support to a group,
