S. 5607 — Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Clarification Act

This section separates payment calculations under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act into distinct Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management tracks. It replaces all references to 25-percent payments with Forest Service revenue-based payments and all references to 50-percent payments with BLM revenue-based payments, while defining covered National Forest System land and covered BLM land and creating corresponding adjusted-share and base-share terms for each.

This section clarifies the payment election options available to counties under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act. Counties may elect to receive the county payment, a share of the State payment, the BLM revenue-based payment, a share of the Forest Service revenue-based payment, or any of the six listed combinations of those payments.
