- What it does
- Since its initial passage in 2000, the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) and Community Self-Determination Act (“the SRS Actâ€) has provided Federal funds to over 700 counties across the U.S. and Puerto Rico for three primary purposes in accordance with its three titles: • Title I – Secure Payments for States and Counties containing Federal Land: To stabilize payments to counties to provide funding for schools and roads that supplements other available funds. • Title II - Special Projects on Federal Land: To make additional investments in, and create additional employment opportunities through, projects that improve the maintenance of existing infrastructure, implement stewardship objectives that enhance forest ecosystems, and restore and improve land health and water quality with Federal lands that have traditionally been supported by timber payments. • Title III – County Funds: To stabilize payments to counties to provide funding for schools and roads that supplements other available funds. This Listing Announcement specifically relates to anticipated SRS Act Title II Special Project funding that is administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s (DOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to benefit the 2.4 million acres of Federal lands in 18 western Oregon counties that are administered in accordance with the Oregon and California Revested Lands Sustained Yield Management Act of 1937 (“the O&C Actâ€) and the Coos Bay Wagon Road Act of 1939.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
