Notice of proposed policy directive; request for public comment. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: The Forest Service proposes to remove structural change recomputation direction contained in Forest Service Timber Sale Preparation Handbook (FSH) 2409.18 (applicable in Forest Service Regions 1 through 6 only) as one of the means of recomputing timber sale set-aside market share allocation to small business mills within a market area. This change is needed to make the recomputation process as accurate as possible by making market shares more reflective of current market conditions, in terms of volume and business capacity, as well as to simplify the process by which market share is determined. The direction on scheduled PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 43435 recomputation of market shares and special recomputations would be retained. Additionally, the Forest Service is proposing to include volumes sold or disposed of via stewardship contracting (Integrated Resource Contract, 2400–13 & 13T) in the volumes used to calculate market shares pursuant to the small business timber sale set-aside program. DATES: Comments must be received in writing by October 2, 2006. ADDRESSES: The full text of FSH 2409.18, chapter 90 is available electronically on the World Wide Web/ Internet at https://www.fs.fed.us/im/ directives. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Fitzgerald, Assistant Director, Forest Management Staff, by telephone at (202) 205–1753 or by Internet at rfitzgerald@fs.fed.us. Developed in cooperation with the Small Business Administration, the Forest Service Small Business Timber Sale Set-aside Program is designed to ensure that qualifying small business timber purchasers have the opportunity to purchase a fair proportion of National Forest System timber offered for sale. The current Small Business Timber Sale Set-aside Program was adopted July 26, 1990 (55 FR 30485). Direction that guides Forest Service employees in administering the Small Business Timber Sale Set-aside Program is issued in the Forest Service Manual (FSM), Chapter 2430, and in Chapter 90 of the Forest Service Timber Sale Preparation Handbook (FSH 2409.18). According to the guidelines of the setaside program, the Forest Service recomputes the shares of timber sales to be set aside for bidding by qualifying small businesses every 5 years. The share percentage is based on the actual volume of sawtimber that has been purchased and/or harvested by small businesses during a 5-year period. In addition to the 5-year scheduled recomputation requirement, in Forest Service Regions 1 through 6, small business shares currently must be recomputed whenever a structural change occurs (see FSH 2409.18, chapter 90, section 91.22). Structural change (applicable to Regions 1 through 6 only) is defined at FSH 2409.18, chapter 90, section 90.5, paragraph 8b as a change that ‘‘may occur during a recomputation period when a small or large business firm that purchased at least 10 percent of the total sawlog volume during the last recomputation period discontinues operations or changes its size status SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\01AUN1.SGM 01AUN1
