Title: ●Forest Products for Traditional and Cultural Purposes 
Abstract: Description of Proposed Action: Develop proposed rule to implement the 2008 Farm Bill section 8105 Forest Products for Traditional and Cultural Purposes. Justification for Proposed Action: Section 8105 provides free use of forest products for Native Americans for Traditional and Cultural Purposes. The implementation of this free use needs to be included in a revision of the present free use regulations. The Forest Service has existing regulations (36 CFR 223.5 through 36 CFR 223.11) for the free use of forest products from National Forest System lands. Therefore, the implementation of this expanded authority for free use needs to be included in a revision of the present free use regulations. Subtitle B of the Farm Bill Forestry Title “Cultural and Heritage Cooperation Authority” is consistent with previous legislative proposals supported by the Forest Service and USDA.
