Sale and Disposal of National Forest System Timber; Administration of Timber Export and Substitution Restrictions

Короткий зміст

On September 8, 1995, the final rule for Sale and Disposal of National Forest System Timber--Administration of Timber Export and Substitution Restrictions was published in the Federal Register with request for additional comment on any functioning of the regulation that may be necessary for more efficient implementation (60 FR 46890). The rule was effective September 8, 1995, and the comment period was specified to close October 10, 1995. The Department has decided to suspend compliance with 36 CFR 223.190(k) and 223.193 through 223.199 of the final rule until February 14, 1996. This action will provide time for a more orderly and planned implementation by the forest products industry and the Forest Service. During this suspension period, all other provisions of the final rule remain in effect and provisions of the timber sale contract relating to these matters will remain in effect. In addition, the comment period is hereby reopened until December 18, 1995.
