The formula-based SRS payments are made to counties containing national forests-managed by the U.S. Forest Service (FS)-and counties in Oregon containing the Oregon and California (O&C) Railroad Grant lands and Coos Bay Wagon Road (CBWR) lands- managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Background State and local governments are authorized to receive payments through various programs due to the presence of federal land within their jurisdictions. Some of these payment programs are based on the revenue generated from specific land uses and activities; other payments are based on acreage of federal land or nonrevenue factors. For example, Congress authorized counties to receive a portion of the annual revenue generated on O&C lands (43 U.S.C. @2605), CBWR lands (43 U.S.C @2621), and national forests (16 U.S.C. @500). Revenue-generating activities include timber sales and grazing permits, among others, although Congress has designated some activities as exempt from the revenue-sharing requirements. Timber sales have been the largest historical source of revenue. In the 1990s, federal timber sales began to decline substantially, which led to significantly reduced payments to the counties. In response, Congress enacted SRS as a temporary alternative option to the FS and BLM revenue-based payments, starting in FY2001. SRS payments were reauthorized annually through FY2020, except for FY2016 (see Figure 1). The IIJA reauthorized payments for FY2021-FY2023.
