Congressional findings The Congress finds that— (1) the management of the Nation’s renew- able resources is highly complex and the uses, demand for, and supply of the various re- sources are subject to change over time; (2) the public interest is served by the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, in co- operation with other agencies, assessing the Nation’s renewable resources, and developing and preparing a national renewable resource program, which is periodically reviewed and updated; (3) to serve the national interest, the renew- able resource program must be based on a comprehensive assessment of present and an- ticipated uses, demand for, and supply of re- newable resources from the Nation’s public and private forests and rangelands, through analysis of environmental and economic im- pacts, coordination of multiple use and sus- tained yield opportunities as provided in the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960 (74 Stat. 215; 16 U.S.C. 528–531), and public partici- pation in the development of the program; (4) the new knowledge derived from coordi- nated public and private research programs will promote a sound technical and ecological base for effective management, use, and pro- tection of the Nation’s renewable resources; (5) inasmuch as the majority of the Nation’s forests and rangeland is under private, State, and local governmental management and the Nation’s major capacity to produce goods and services is based on these nonfederally man- aged renewable resources, the Federal Govern- ment should be a catalyst to encourage and as- sist these owners in the efficient long-term use and improvement of these lands and their renewable resources consistent with the prin- ciples of sustained yield and multiple use;
