to the Secretary of Agriculture under Section 203 of the Secure Rural 
Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (as reauthorized 
as part of Pub. L. 110-343). The Cherokee National Forest RAC consists 
of 15 people selected to serve on the committee by Secretary of 
Agriculture Tom Vilsack. Certain Tennessee counties are setting aside a 
percentage of their Secure Rural Schools Act payment under Title II of 
the Act to be used for projects on federal land. The RAC will 
ultimately review and recommend projects to be funded from this money. 
Projects approved must benefit National Forests lands. Projects can 
maintain infrastructure, improve the health of watersheds and 
ecosystems, protect communities, and strengthen local economies.
    The agenda for the September 21, 2011, meeting of the Cherokee 
National Forest RAC will focus on review and consideration of proposed 
projects. RAC meetings are open to the public.
