    (a) The regulations in this subpart govern the operation of the 
Forest Land Enhancement Program (hereafter, FLEP) as provided in Section 
4 of the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act (16 U.S.C. 2101 et seq.), 
as amended by title VIII of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act 
of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-171). The purpose of FLEP is to provide a 
coordinated and cooperative Federal, State, and local sustainable 
forestry program for the establishment, management, maintenance, 
enhancement, and restoration of forests on nonindustrial private forest 
land.
    (b) The educational assistance, resource management expertise, and 
financial assistance provided under FLEP shall complement any existing 
Federal or State programs or programs offered through institutions of 
higher learning providing assistance to nonindustrial private forest 
landowners. FLEP promotes improved coordination and cooperation among 
Federal, State, and local programs regarding the establishment, 
maintenance, enhancement, and restoration of nonindustrial private 
forestlands.
    (c) Participation in FLEP is voluntary on the part of both the State 
and the nonindustrial forest landowner. To participate, each State must 
have nonindustrial private forest lands, a State Forester or equivalent, 
and a State Forest Stewardship Coordinating Committee.
