§ 472a. Timber sales on National Forest System
lands
(a) Authorization; rules and regulations; ap-
praised value as minimum sale price
For the purpose of achieving the policies set
forth in the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of
1960 (74 Stat. 215; 16 U.S.C. 528–531) and the For-
est and Rangeland Renewable Resources Plan-
ning Act of 1974 (88 Stat. 476) [16 U.S.C. 1600 et
seq.], the Secretary of Agriculture, under such
rules and regulations as he may prescribe, may
sell, at not less than appraised value, trees, por-
tions of trees, or forest products located on Na-
tional Forest System lands.
(b) Designation on map; prospectus
All advertised timber sales shall be designated
on maps, and a prospectus shall be available to
the public and interested potential bidders.
(c) Terms and conditions of contract
The length and other terms of the contract
shall be designed to promote orderly harvesting
consistent with the principles set out in section
6 of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Re-
sources Planning Act of 1974, as amended [16
U.S.C. 1604]. Unless there is a finding by the Sec-
retary of Agriculture that better utilization of
the various forest resources (consistent with the
provisions of the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield
Act of 1960 [16 U.S.C. 528–531]) will result, sales
contracts shall be for a period not to exceed ten
years: Provided, That such period may be ad-
justed at the discretion of the Secretary to pro-
vide additional time due to time delays caused
by an act of an agent of the United States or by
other circumstances beyond the control of the
purchaser. The Secretary shall require the pur-
chaser to file as soon as practicable after execu-
tion of a contract for any advertised sale with a
term of two years or more, a plan of operation,
which shall be subject to concurrence by the
Secretary. The Secretary shall not extend any
contract period with an original term of two
years or more unless he finds (A) that the pur-
chaser has diligently performed in accordance
with an approved plan of operation or (B) that
the substantial overriding public interest justi-
fies the extension.
(d) Advertisement of sales; exceptions
The Secretary of Agriculture shall advertise
all sales unless he determines that extraor-
dinary conditions exist, as defined by regula-
tion, or that the appraised value of the sale is
less than $10,000. If, upon proper offering, no sat-
isfactory bid is received for a sale, or the bidder
fails to complete the purchase, the sale may be
offered and sold without further advertisement.
(e) Bidding methods; purposes; oral auction pro-
cedures; monitoring and enforcement for
prevention of collusive practices
(1) In the sale of trees, portions of trees, or for-
est products from National Forest System lands
(hereinafter referred to in this subsection as
‘‘national forest materials’’), the Secretary of
Agriculture shall select the bidding method or
methods which—
(A) insure open and fair competition;
(B) insure that the Federal Government re-
ceive not less than the appraised value as re-
quired by subsection (a) of this section;
(C) consider the economic stability of com-
munities whose economies are dependent on
such national forest materials, or achieve such
other objectives as the Secretary deems nec-
essary; and
(D) are consistent with the objectives of this
Act and other Federal statutes.
The Secretary shall select or alter the bidding
method or methods as he determines necessary
to achieve the objectives stated in clauses (A),
(B), (C), and (D) of this paragraph.
(2) In those instances when the Secretary se-
lects oral auction as the bidding method for the
sale of any national forest materials, he shall
require that all prospective purchasers submit
written sealed qualifying bids. Only prospective
purchasers whose written sealed qualifying bids
are equal to or in excess of the appraised value
of such national forest materials may partici-
pate in the oral bidding process.
(3) The Secretary shall monitor bidding pat-
terns involved in the sale of national forest ma-
terials. If the Secretary has a reasonable belief
that collusive bidding practices may be occur-
ring, then—
(A) he shall report any such instances of pos-
sible collusive bidding or suspected collusive
bidding practices to the Attorney General of
the United States with any and all supporting
data;
(B) he may alter the bidding methods used
within the affected area; and
(C) he shall take such other action as he
deems necessary to eliminate such practices
within the affected area.
(f) Research and demonstration projects
The Secretary of Agriculture, under such rules
and regulations as he may prescribe, is author-
ized to dispose of, by sale or otherwise, trees,
portions of trees, or other forest products re-
lated to research and demonstration projects.
(g) Designation and supervision of harvesting
(1) In general
Designation, including marking when nec-
essary, designation by description, or designa-
tion by prescription, and supervision of har-
vesting of trees, portions of trees, or forest
products shall be conducted by persons em-
ployed by the Secretary of Agriculture.
(2) Requirement
Persons employed by the Secretary of Agri-
culture under paragraph (1)—
(A) shall have no personal interest in the
purchase or harvest of the products; and

The Congress finds that—
(1) the management of the Nation’s renewable resources is highly complex and the uses, demand for, and supply of the various resources are subject to change over time;
(2) the public interest is served by the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with other agencies, assessing the Nation’s renewable resources, and developing and preparing a national renewable resource program, which is periodically reviewed and updated;
(3) to serve the national interest, the renewable resource program must be based on a comprehensive assessment of present and anticipated uses, demand for, and supply of renewable resources from the Nation’s public and private forests and rangelands, through analysis of environmental and economic impacts, coordination of multiple use and sustained yield opportunities as provided in the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960 (74 Stat. 215; [16 U.S.C. 528–531](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section528–531&num=0&edition=prelim)), and public participation in the development of the program;
(4) the new knowledge derived from coordinated public and private research programs will promote a sound technical and ecological base for effective management, use, and protection of the Nation’s renewable resources;
(5) inasmuch as the majority of the Nation’s forests and rangeland is under private, State, and local governmental management and the Nation’s major capacity to produce goods and services is based on these nonfederally managed renewable resources, the Federal Government should be a catalyst to encourage and assist these owners in the efficient long-term use and improvement of these lands and their renewable resources consistent with the principles of sustained yield and
