SEC. 101. PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this title is to establish an initiative--
            (1) to preserve and create local jobs in rural communities 
        that are located in or near National Forest System land;
            (2) to create an immediate, predictable, and increased flow 
        of wood fiber with commercial value to support and maintain 
        locally based infrastructure and economies that are necessary 
        for the appropriate management and restoration of National 
        Forest System land;
            (3) to promote cooperation and collaboration in the 
        management of National Forest System land;
            (4) to restore and improve the ecological structure, 
        composition, and function and the natural processes of priority 
        watersheds within the National Forest System;
            (5) to carry out collaborative projects to reduce the risk 
        of disturbances from fire, insects, and disease to communities, 
        watersheds, and natural resources through a collaborative 
        process of planning, prioritizing, and implementing ecological 
        restoration and hazardous fuel reduction projects; and
            (6) to collect information from the projects carried out 
        under this title in an effort to better understand the manner 
        in which to improve forest restoration and management

                        authorized forest and watershed restoration 
                        project;
                    (B) on signing of a record of decision or finding 
                of no significant impact for the authorized forest and 
                watershed restoration project, the Secretary shall

                additional review is warranted due to significant new 
                circumstances after implementation of an authorized 
                forest and watershed restoration project has begun, the 
                additional analysis shall not interrupt the 
                implementation of the activities that are not subject 
                to the additional review, in accordance with the 
                National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.

                if the Secretary determines, after taking into 
                consideration the best available science, that the

                of INFISH.
            (2) Roads.--In carrying out any authorized forest and 
        watershed restoration project under this title, the Secretary

                            (i) the Secretary determines that the road 
                        is a justifiable realignment of a permanent 
                        road to restore or improve the ecological 
                        structure, composition, and function and the 
                        natural processes of the affected forest or

                carry out the land management project by the conclusion 
                of the contract.
            (3) Road density.--
                    (A) In general.--Except as provided in subparagraph
