Timber Sale Contracts; Change in Stumpage Rate Adjustment Procedure

On August 7, 1996, the Forest Service published in the Federal Register a proposed policy to eliminate the stumpage rate adjustment procedure used to adjust timber sale contract tentative rates (bid rates) on most timber sales. The agency requested public comment on the proposed policy (61 FR 41124), with the comment period closing October 7, 1996. The comment period is now being reopened for 90 days to allow consideration of this proposal concurrently with consideration of a proposed rule published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register to change the procedures for market-related contract term addition. All comments received between August 7, 1996, and the reopening of the comment period will be considered; therefore respondents do not need to resubmit comments previously submitted.
