cultivation of trees, shrubs and complementary ground covers; and 
implementing a tree planting program to complement urban tree 
maintenance and open space programs. The Secretary has delegated the 
authority for implementing the program to the Chief of the Forest 
Service under 7 CFR 2.60(a)(16).
