To compare this analysis with tribal programs, a sample of 2019 funding allocations for forest management including hazardous fuels reduction funding was done. The tribes that were selected for IFMAT IV site visits and that reported funding allocations were used as a sample of the allocations per acre. Figure A.11 presents the trend of funding programs. The trend shows that the larger the forestry program the less it costs on a per acre basis to manage. This analysis was extended to all Category 1 and 2 forests for more cost efficiency (Figure A.12, Table A.14). Category 1 and Category 2 tribes account for about 90% of the tribal commercial forest land including nearly all the commercial timberland. Using 100,000 acres or larger of commercial forest land as the base, the management cost multipliers for smaller tribal management units range from
