CFLRP program started in 2010 to 

encourage collaborative groups of 

neighboring landowners, state, local and 

tribal government representatives, 

businesses, interest groups, and 

nonprofit organizations, to work with 

the Forest Service (FS) to find common 

ground pertaining to geographically 

extensive forest restoration. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Respondents will be given the option of 

completing an online version of the

social impacts and to provide feedback 

to FS managers about activities,

Without the collection of information, 

the FS will be unable to determine 

whether it is meeting the requirements 

of the Forest Landscape Restoration Act, 

nor if they are fully incorporating 

partner and public input into forest 

project, implementation, monitoring 

and/or planning processes as required 

by law.

Lack of adequate information to make 

these determinations could result in the 

improper administration and 

appropriation of Federal grant funds.
