TITLE I--MANAGEMENT OF WILDLAND/URBAN INTERFACE AREAS

Sec. 101. Identification of wildland/urban interface areas.
Sec. 102. Contracting to reduce hazardous fuels and undertake forest

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) Management of Federal lands has been characterized by
large cyclical variations in fire suppression policies, timber
harvesting levels, and the attention paid to commodity and
noncommodity values.
(2) Forests on Federal lands are experiencing significant
disease epidemics and insect infestations.
(3) The combination of inconsistent management and natural
effects has resulted in a hazardous fuels buildup on Federal
lands that threatens catastrophic wildfire.
(4) While the long-term effect of catastrophic wildfire on
forests and forest systems is a matter of debate, there should
be no question that catastrophic wildfire must be prevented in
areas of the Federal lands where wildlands abut, or are located
in close proximity to, communities, residences, and other
private and public facilities on non-Federal lands.
(5) Wildfire resulting from hazardous fuels buildup in such
wildland/urban interface areas threatens the destruction of
communities, puts human life and property at risk, threatens
community water supplies with erosion that follows wildfire,
destroys wildlife habitat, and damages ambient air quality.
(6) The Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the
Interior must assign a high priority and undertake aggressive
management to achieve the elimination of hazardous fuel buildup
and reduction of the risk of wildfire to the wildland/urban
interface areas on Federal lands. Protection of human life and
property, including water supplies and ambient air quality,
must be given the highest priority.
(7) The noncommodity resources, including riparian zones
and wildlife habitats, in wildland/urban interface areas on
Federal lands which must be protected to provide recreational
opportunities, clean water, and other amenities to neighboring
communities and the public suffer from a backlog of unfunded
forest management projects designed to provide such protection.
(8) In a period of fiscal austerity characterized by
shrinking budgets and personnel levels, Congress must provide
the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior
with innovative tools to accomplish the required reduction in
hazardous fuels buildup and undertake other forest management
projects in the wildland/urban interface areas on the Federal
lands at least cost.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide new authority
and innovative tools to the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary
of the Interior to safeguard communities, lives, and property by
reducing or eliminating the threat of catastrophic wildfire, and to
undertake needed forest management projects, in wildland/urban
interface areas on Federal lands.

lands.
(3) Land management plan.--The term ''land management

means--
(A) with respect to the Federal lands described in

condition of any sale of forest products referred to in
paragraph (1), that the purchaser of such products undertake
one or more forest management projects in the wildland/urban
interface area.
(3) Conditions on inclusion.--The Secretary concerned may
include a forest management project as a condition in a
contract for the sale of forest products referred to in
paragraph (1) only when the Secretary determines that--

can be accomplished most cost efficiently and
effectively when the project is performed as part of
the sale contract.
(b) Financing and Supplemental Funding.--

of the cost of the forest management project through the
issuance of forest management credits to the purchaser. Such
forest management credits shall offset the cost of the required
forest management project against the purchaser's payment for
forest products.
(2) Use of appropriated funds.--The Secretary concerned may
use appropriated funds to assist the purchaser to undertake a
forest management project required as a condition of a contract
authorized by subsection (a) if such funds are provided from

annual appropriation for such function or functions during the
fiscal year in which the sale is offered. The amount of
assistance to be provided for each forest management project
shall be included in the prospectus, and published in the
advertisement, for the sale.
(c) Determination of Forest Management Credits.--Prior to the
advertisement of a sale authorized by subsection (a), the Secretary

may permit a purchaser that holds forest management credits earned by
the purchaser as part of a sale authorized by subsection (a), but not
used in connection with that sale, to transfer the forest management
credits to another sale authorized by subsection (a) if--
(1) the subsequent sale is also purchased by that
purchaser; and
(2) the sale parcel is located on Federal lands under that
Secretary's jurisdiction.
(e) Treatment of Forest Management Credits as Moneys Received.--
(1) Bureau of land management lands.--In the case of
Federal lands described in section 3(1)(A), all amounts earned
by or allowed to any purchaser of a sale authorized by

first section of the Act of May 24, 1939 (53 Stat. 753; 43

(f) Cost Considerations.--Because of the strong concern for the
safety of human life and property and the protection of water quality,
air quality, and wildlife habitat, a sale authorized by subsection (a)
shall not be precluded because the costs of the sale may exceed the
revenues derived from the sale, nor shall such sales be considered in
any calculations concerning the revenue effects of the forest products
sales program for the Federal lands or units of the Federal lands.
(g) Other Requirements.--Nothing in this title shall be construed
to require or authorize any alteration in the procedures or
requirements for sales of forest products otherwise authorized by law,
including the applicable provisions of the small business set-aside
program.
