Timber Production Expansion Guaranteed Loan Program (TPEP) # Timber Production Expansion Guaranteed Loan Program (TPEP) ## Timber Production Expansion Guaranteed Loan Program (TPEP) The Timber Production Expansion Guaranteed Loan Program (TPEP) operated in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service provides financial support to qualified lenders whose loan applicants want to establish, reopen, expand, or improve a sawmill or other wood processing facility that processes ecosystem restoration byproducts from USDA Forest Service National Forest System lands.

Frequently Asked Questions Do you require clarification, have a question, or just need to talk with someone who administers the program? Let us know and we’ll be happy to assist. ### How to Become an Approved Lender To participate in this program, lenders must first be approved by USDA Rural Development using criteria from the OneRD Guaranteed Loan Initiative.

The map ranks land areas of the country from high to very high priority for restoration work, including vegetation removal, with respect to addressing wildfire hazard potential and risks of insects and diseases. ## Other USDA Programs Which May Help For larger or more complex projects, we highly encourage you to explore our other programs at USDA Rural Development.

Some of these programs are stackable with TPEP and others can assist with direct and indirect community and project needs.
