Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Feb. 13, 1998
Report No. RCED-98-58
Subject
Summary:

The Forest Service manages about 192 million acres--nearly nine percent of the nation's total surface area and about 30 percent of all federal lands. In fiscal year 1996, revenue generated from the sale or use of resources and lands within the National Forest System totaled about $0.9 billion. More than $2 billion in appropriations and $0.4 billion in trust funds were available to manage the system's 155 national forests. Congress has expressed interest in making the agency's operations more cost-effective and businesslike. This report (1) identifies the lessons that can be learned from efforts by nonfederal land managers to generate revenue or become financially self-sufficient from the sale or use of natural resources on their lands and (2) discusses legal and other barriers that may prevent the Forest Service from implementing similar efforts on its lands.
