PART 230--STATE AND PRIVATE FORESTRY ASSISTANCE--Table of Contents
 
                Subpart A--Stewardship Incentive Program
 
Sec. 230.6  Landowner forest stewardship plan.

    (a) Prior to receiving approval to implement any Program practice 
identified in Sec. 230.7(a)(2)-(9) of this subpart, eligible landowners 
shall have an approved landowner forest stewardship plan. The landowner 
forest stewardship plan shall be prepared by a Resource Management 
Professional and approved by a Service Representative and shall identify 
and describe actions to be taken by the landowner to protect and manage 
soil, water, aesthetic qualities, recreation, timber, and fish and 
wildlife resources in a manner which is compatible with the objectives 
of the landowner.
    (b) A landowner forest stewardship plan shall be effective for not 
less than 10 years, but shall be reviewed at least every five years and 
may be revised as needed, subject to approval of the Service 
Representative.
    (c) To the extent deemed applicable by the Service Representative, 
where existing landowner management plans such as conservation plans, 
Tree Farm management plans, or similar plans meet or can be amended to 
meet Landowner Forest Stewardship Plan requirements, such plans shall 
satisfy the requirements of this section.

    (d) If a landowner sells or otherwise conveys land covered by a 
landowner forest stewardship plan, such plan shall remain in effect if 
agreed to by the new owner. New landowner objectives shall be 
incorporated through plan revision as needed. Where the new landowner 
does not agree to adopt the Landowner Forest Stewardship plan, the new 
landowner cannot obtain approval of new Program practices without 
preparation and approval of a new Landowner Forest Stewardship Plan.
