The Energy Information Administration of the DOE released a 2003 update to the 1996 report but it is not yet in HTML form. You can download the entire 110 page PDF document via FTP. The Chapter 6 on land-use sequestration begins on page 75:
Land use, land-use change, and forestry practices offset approximately 16.9 percent of total U.S. anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions in 1990 and 11.9 percent in 2003.
The amount of carbon sequestered actually declined from 1042 million metric tons in 1990 to 828 million metric tons in 2003, a decline of approximately 21 percent.
