## Summary

**Provides temporary, targeted financial relief** for forest product harvesters, haulers, and timber-producing landowners after a declared regional market disruption, with funding tied to U.S. anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood lumber imports. - Harvesters, haulers, and landowners can get payments if they meet income and production thresholds; approved applicants receive an initial payment up to $20,000 and may qualify for follow-up payments for as long as conditions persist, up to 5 years. - State governors or the Chief of the Forest Service can petition for a market disruption; the Secretary must decide within 14 days and publish a notice of funding within 30 days to start applications. - The Farm Service Agency administers the program, limits funds to operational costs like payroll, fuel, repairs, debt service, or expanding market access, and offers appeals through the Department of Agriculture's National Appeals Division with 30-day appeal timelines.
