This Administrative Order amends certain provisions of DENR Administrative Order No. 2025-22 governing the Sustainable Forest Land Management Agreement (SFLMA) and prescribes new procedures for all forest tenure instruments. The Order expressly excludes Community-Based Forest Management Agreements (CBFMAs) from DAO No. 2025-22 and reinstates DAO No. 2004-29 as the primary policy framework for CBFM implementation. The Order centralizes processing by requiring that all new and renewal applications for specified forest tenure instruments be filed directly with the Forest Management Bureau (FMB). It lists the covered instruments and prescribes procedural steps. Implementation provisions address pending applications and submitted pending cases. The Order includes standard clauses on transitory provisions, separability, repeal of inconsistent issuances, and an effectivity condition tied to publication and filing of certified copies.
