MASTER MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
USDA-FOREST SERVICE
I. Purpose
The purpose of this agreement is to continue policies and administrative procedures for a working relationship between the Environmental Protection Agency and USDA-Forest Service in support of common objectives, interests, and statutory requirements and to avoid duplication of effort. This memorandum of understanding (MOU) builds on the general principles of cooperation, coordination, and communication established between the Forest Service and the Environmental Protection Agency under the original five-year MOU signed November 23, 1982.
Additional agency agreements may be developed to outline activities by and between individual work units as needed for specific tasks. Such agreements will provide for the use of facilities, personnel, reimbursement for personnel expenses, cooperative projects, transfer of funds, and other activities as appropriate and be subject to the laws and regulations pertaining to the respective agencies.
II. STATEMENT OF MUTUAL INTERESTS AND BENEFITS

This entails setting and enforcing environmental standards, assessing and managing environmental risk, conducting environmental research, and assisting state and local cooperators.
The Forest Service has a responsibility for the stewardship of natural resources to ensure that multiple-use objectives can be met in the Nation's forests and grasslands.
