Abstract: Regulations at 36 CFR
223.53 allow timber sale purchasers to
ask for extensions of certain National
Forest timber sale contracts when the
manufacturing facilities or logging
equipment capacity available to
purchasers are insufficient to provide
for both the rapid harvest of damaged
non-National Forest System (NFS)
timber in need of expeditious removal
and the continued harvest of
undamaged (green) timber under
contract with the Forest Service. When
requesting an urgent removal extension,
purchasers are required to provide
documentation supporting the need.
The collected information is necessary
for the contracting officer to make a
determination as to whether the
purchaser meets the conditions for
receiving an urgent removal extension
on one or more NFS timber sale
contracts.
The intent of this information
collection is to assure that provisions of
timber sale contracts allowing
extensions of time for harvest of NFS
timber are consistent with the
requirements of the National Forest
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 472a),
while:
• Minimizing loss of NFS timber
adjacent to other timber infested with
insects and disease or damaged by fire;
• Reduce the threat to public safety
and property resulting from such
catastrophic events; and
• Promote the wise use and
conservation of natural resources.
The National Forest Management Act
requires that extensions of contract time
shall not be granted unless ‘‘the
purchaser has diligently performed in
accordance with an approved plan of
operation or that the substantial
overriding public interest justifies the
extension.’’ Regulations at 36 CFR
223.115 mirror the National Forest
Management Act.
Regulations at 36 CFR 223.53(b)
required the Regional Forester to verify
in writing that: (1) A specific
catastrophe occurred for which urgent
removal extensions should be granted;
and (2) Failure to harvest the damaged
non-NFS timber promptly could result
in the following: (i) Pose a threat to
public safety, (ii) Create a threat of an
insect or disease epidemic to NFS or
other lands or resources, or (iii)
Significant private or other public
resource loss.
