    (1) The Secretary, with the participation of Indian tribes with

        (A) for the determination of Indian tribes eligible for such 
    support,
        (B) for the provision of levels of assistance for the forestry 
    programs of such tribes, and
        (C) the allocation of base support funds to such tribes under 
    the program established pursuant to subsection (a) of this section.

    (2) The formula established pursuant to this subsection shall 
provide funding necessary to support--

    support costs, for each eligible tribe, and
        (B) one additional professional forester or forest technician,

the formula required to be established in this section, available funds 
for each level of assistance shall be evenly divided among the tribes 
qualifying for that level of assistance.
