VIII. Common Challenges for Partnerships
Shared Facilities (Co-Location)
This flowchart was developed as a guide to assist the Forest Service and its partners in the evaluation of potential co-location arrangements. It includes definitions and references to the Forest Service Handbook (FSH) and Forest Service Manual (FSM), both available at http://www.fs.fed.us/im/directives/. The goal of the flowchart is to direct the user to a Forest Service specialist in one of three areas:
- Special Uses
- Leasing Real Property
- Grants and Agreements
These specialists can assist in determining:
- Whether the proposal falls under authorized co-location arrangements. Exceptions are outlined in the footnotes.
- Whether the proposal is appropriate.
- The proper authority and the development of the appropriate instrument to authorize the proposal.
