Abstract: The Forest and Range
Renewable Resources Planning Act of
1974 and the Forest and Rangeland
Renewable Resources Research Act of
1978 require the Forest Service to
evaluate trends in the use of logs and
wood chips, to forecast anticipated
levels of logs and wood chips, and to
analyze changes in the harvest of these
resources from National Forest System
lands. To collect this information,
Forest Service personnel use two
questionnaires, which respondents
return in self-addressed, postage-paid
envelopes.
Pulpwood Received Questionnaire:
Forest Service personnel use this
questionnaire to collect and evaluate
information from pulp mills in order to
monitor the volume, types, species,
sources, and prices of timber products
harvested throughout the Nation. The
data collected will be used to provide
essential information about the current
use of the Nation’s timber resources for
pulpwood industrial products and is not
available from other sources.
Logs and Other Roundwood Received:
This questionnaire is used by Forest
Service personnel to collect and
evaluate information from primary
wood-using mills, including small, parttime mills, as well as large corporate
entities. Primary wood-using mills are
facilities that use harvested wood in log
or chip form, such as sawlogs, veneer
logs, pulpwood, and pulp chips, to
manufacture a secondary product, such
as lumber or paper. Forest Service
