The business must include the following statement on every invoice submitted to the Commonwealth: "(name of business) is a qualified small business concern as defined in 4 Pa. Code 2.32."
   A business is eligible for payments when the required payment is the latest of:
      The payment date specified in the contract.
      30 days after the later of the receipt of a proper invoice or receipt of goods or services.
      The net payment date stated on the business' invoice.
   A 15-day grace period after the required payment date is provided to the Commonwealth by the Act.

Priority areas for grant awards include: projects that identify opportunities or initiatives involving local governments and other entities to promote access to the timber resource on both public and private lands; projects that assist with the development of domestic and international markets for the PA forest products industry; projects that seek to expand the development, processing and manufacturing of value-added forest products; projects that seek to promote public knowledge and understanding regarding the role that the forest industry and its products play in our society. Include a full description of how the funds will be allocated. Proposals will be evaluated promptly by a review team. No single grant shall exceed $50,000. Total grant awards will not exceed $250,000. Grants awarded will be for a one-year period (FY 1997/1998) with three, one-year options to extend.
