## Objectives

The objective of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act is to provide stable and predictable payments to States and counties containing National Forest System lands in order to offset revenue losses resulting from declines in timber receipts.
The program is intended to support funding for public schools, road maintenance, and other essential local government services in rural communities historically dependent on National Forest receipts. By authorizing payments based on historical revenue levels rather than current timber harvests, the program seeks to promote fiscal stability for eligible counties and States while supporting sustainable forest management and community well-being.
