Appropriations Notes
Supplemental appropriations through the Inflation Reduction Act are available through September 30, 2031.
*In FY2021, the U.S. Forest Service implemented a new budget line item for salaries and expenses across all Forest Service programs – costs that had previously been incorporated into each program’s budget line item. This re-structuring makes it difficult to compare program spending before and after FY2021.
