Sec. 701.32  Eligible practices and cost-share requirements.

    (a) Cost-sharing may be available for the following National 
practices and authority:
    (1) Practice FP1. Planting Trees.
    (2) Practice FP2. Improving a Stand of Forest Trees.
    (3) Practice authority--SF Practice. Special Forestry Practices. The 
Director, Conservation and Environmental Protection Division, FSA, after 
consultation with the Forest Service, may approve special forestry 
practices needed to solve a significant and unique local condition for 
which the National practices are not adequate. Such practices may be 
approved for inclusion in a county program after consultation with the 
program development group, and the recommendation of the county 
committee, the service forester, the State committee and the State 
forester.
    (b) A forest management plan is required as a condition of cost-
sharing.

The plan will be developed in consultation with the landowner, approved 
by the service forester, and will contain information for accurate 
evaluation of practice effectiveness. The participant will be required 
to perform those measures in the plan which are essential to the 
effectiveness of the practice for which costs are shared. In the 
development of the plan, consideration will be given to wildlife, 
watershed protection, recreation, erosion control, aesthetics, and other 
associated forest resources values as well as cost-effective timber 
production.
