§619 Emergency Stumpage Rate Redeterminations in Alaska
Title 16 › CHAPTER 4 — PROTECTION OF TIMBER, AND DEPREDATIONS › § 619
Summary
If a buyer who bid for National Forest timber in Alaska after January 1, 1974 asks in writing, the stumpage rate must be redetermined. The new rates must apply to timber measured during the period between January 1, 1981, and five years from October 16, 1984. The Secretary can change contract terms, including the bid premium amount, so these contracts can compete with other buyers. This rule does not apply to 50-year timber sale contracts in Alaska.
