National Forest Restoration and Remediation Act This bill modifies the treatment of monies collected by the United States arising out of certain Forest Service activities.

The bill makes available the interest earned to cover the costs of work rendered necessary by the action which led to the forfeiture, judgment, compromise, or settlement.
