The Bill says if unobligated, these $ are rescinded. Basically it pulls the reins in on certain funding that was in the IRA.    It’s one of those “both things are true” kinds of bills; while touted as a climate bill, there’s a great deal of random throwing around large sums of money.. in many cases, with a fairly tenuous relationship to climate change.  Of course, everything can be related to climate change, with enough imagination. I’ve used this version of the bill, which I hope is the current one.

SEC. 10201. RESCISSION OF AMOUNTS FOR FORESTRY.
3 The unobligated balances of amounts appropriated by
4 the following provisions of Public Law 117–169 are re5
scinded:
6 (1) Paragraphs (3) and (4) of section 23001(a)
7 (136 Stat. 2023).
8 (2) Paragraphs (1) through (4) of section
9 23002(a) (136 Stat. 2025).
10 (3) Section 23003(a)(2) (136 Stat. 2026).
11 (4) Section 23005 (136 Stat. 2027).

What are those?

23001

(3) $100,000,000 to provide for environmental reviews by
the Chief of the Forest Service in satisfying the obligations
of the Chief of the Forest Service under the National Environ-
mental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 through 4370m–
12); and
(4) $50,000,000 for the protection of old-growth forests on
National Forest System land and to complete an inventory
of old-growth forests and mature forests within the National
Forest System.

I never really understood (3) as generally environmental review funding comes out of the program.  And $100 mill, was that from the IRA FS funding dartboard?

23002

It would be interesting to see exactly where all those funds went, if they were spent.  I’ve had trouble tracking it.. maybe others are more budget-astute. The below is from USA spending.gov and you can search on 10.727 | Inflation Reduction Act Urban & Community Forestry Program. What’s interesting is that so much was obligated and so little spent … I pulled this yesterday and I assume it’s current but it might not be.  For those who follow this kind of thing, in 2023 Greenlatinos  had 2.22 million in revenue. So there’s quite a bit of ramping up required, I guess since the FS gave them $25 mill (but they had only spent $2 mill as of the unknown date in USAspending.gov).
There was some talk about the point being stashing IRA money so it couldn’t be clawed back, so perhaps that was the idea all along, but as we have seen, it’s not working out that way.
But both Greenlatinos and HAF are getting bucks from big philanthropies, ..so not sure about their need for USG bucks. For some reason, the bar on the screenshot is blotting out The Arbor Day Foundation, which got $75 mill and spent $3.5 mill  (if this info is correct)..
