Summary of Collection: USDA Forest Service is delivering the Wood
Products Infrastructure Assistance (WPIA) as part of the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law. Section 40804(b)3 of the Infrastructure Investment

Service to provide financial assistance to an entity seeking to
establish, reopen, expand, or improve a sawmill or other wood

land that has been identified as high or very high priority for
ecological restoration. According to 2 CFR part 200 and Forest Service
Handbook 1509.11, chapter 20, there is certain narrative and budget
information required for the Agency to determine if the project meets
the legislative requirements and if the costs are reasonable,
allocable, allowable, and necessary for the project. In particular,
collection of information is necessary to ascertain if applicants
seeking financial assistance do in fact operate facilities in close
proximity to a unit of federal or Indian land that has been identified
as high or very high priority for ecological restoration.

disturbance on non-Federal land and Federal land. According to 2 CFR
part 200 and Forest Service Handbook 1509.11, chapter 20, prescribes
administrative requirements and processes applicable to all Forest
Service domestic and international Federal Financial Assistance awards
to State and local governments, institutions of higher education,
hospitals, private profit and nonprofit organizations, individuals, and

necessary to ascertain the required needs of applicants to initiate a
temporary bridge program to protect water resources and reduce water
quality degradation during forestry related operations requiring
temporary water resource crossings.
