Timber Sale Contracts; Change in Stumpage Rate Adjustment
Procedure

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice; reopening of public comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On August 7, 1996, the Forest Service published in the Federal
Register a proposed policy to eliminate the stumpage rate adjustment
procedure used to adjust timber sale contract tentative rates (bid
rates) on most timber sales. The agency requested public comment on the
proposed policy (61 FR 41124), with the comment period closing October
7, 1996. The comment period is now being reopened for 90 days to allow
consideration of this proposal concurrently with consideration of a
proposed rule published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register
to change the procedures for market-related contract term addition. All
comments received between August 7, 1996, and the reopening of the
comment period will be considered; therefore respondents do not need to
resubmit comments previously submitted.

DATES: The additional comment period will end on January 21, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Director, Timber Management Staff,
MAIL STOP 1105, Forest Service, USDA, P.O. Box 96090, Washington, DC
20090-6090.

Dated: October 8, 1996.
J. Kenneth Myers,
Acting Chief.
