Problems in Collecting and Setting Aside Adequate Knutson-Vandenburg Funds To Do Planned Work

GAO undertook a review of the problems in collecting and setting aside adequate funds authorized by the Knutson-Vandenburg (K-V) Act. In a previous report, GAO found that the Forest Service was having difficulty in collecting and setting aside enough money under the K-V act to finance reforestation and timber stand improvement work needed in harvest areas. GAO limited its review to an analysis of procedures at 16 district and 6 national forest offices in Region 6.
