The FY2027 President's Budget requests $8.0M for Land Use Authorization and Access, within Agriculture (USDA)'s National Forest System account. That is up 3.2% on the FY2026 figure of $7.8M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2026–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $7.8M |
| FY2027 | request | $8.0M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Agriculture (USDA) discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Agriculture (USDA)'s discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The Land Use Authorization and Access program supports the economic well-being of communities through improving and providing accurate landownership records and mapping products. The program permits critical infrastructure to remote areas, working across boundaries and working with stakeholders and partners to permit reliable infrastructure to keep communities safe. The program surveys lands in advance of timber sales, acquires rights-of-way, and administers road agreements necessary for public and Forest Service access in accordance with the policy objectives outlined in E.O. 14241, Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production; E.O. 14192, Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation; and E.O. 14225, Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production.
