Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Sustainable Revenue for Oregon 
Counties Act of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) more than half of the land in the State of Oregon is 
        owned by the Federal Government;
            (2) in many counties of the State, significant portions of 
        the land of the counties (often significantly more than half of 
        the land of the counties) is owned by the Federal Government;
            (3) the land described in paragraph (2) includes Forest 
        Service land and Oregon and California grant land;
            (4) the counties described in paragraph (2) are unable to 
        derive revenue from property taxes on land owned by the Federal 
        Government;
            (5) historically, payments made by the Federal Government 
        based on revenues from harvesting timber (including Oregon and 
        California grant land and Forest Service payments) have 
        provided a revenue substitute for property taxes;
            (6) the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-
        Determination Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C. 500 note; Public Law 106-
        393) augmented the payments described in paragraph (5) because 
        of a significant decline in timber harvest revenues;
            (7) Congress extended the payments described in paragraph 
        (6) for 1 year in 2007, and for 4 years effective beginning in 
        2008, to provide time to develop a long-term sustainable 
        alternative to the payments described in paragraph (6);
            (8) the prospects for a long-term extension are uncertain 
        because of concerns regarding Federal budget deficits and long-
        term financial assistance to local governments of the State;
            (9) counties of the State that have historically received 
        the payments described in paragraph (5) are in need of a 
        sustainable, long-term revenue source;
            (10) there are opportunities for the conduct of activities 
        in the Federal forest land of the counties of the State that 
        could be structured to be economically and environmentally 
        sustainable, including--
                    (A) the harvesting of timber (including thinning to 
                restore forest health) in a sustainable manner and in 
                sustainable quantities;
                    (B) the removal of biomass material from the forest 
                land for--
                            (i) the generation of electricity; and
                            (ii) the production of cellulosic biofuels;
                    (C) the conduct of activities that could--
                            (i) increase the sequestration by the 
                        forest land of atmospheric carbon; or
                            (ii) provide other ecosystem services for 
                        communities, such as clean water; and
                    (D) the conduct of recreational activities;
            (11) other sources of revenue, including State and local 
        revenue sources, should also be considered in selecting a 
        sustainable, long-term revenue source; and
            (12) payments made by the Federal Government could be 
        continued under a variety of different payment methodologies.
