At least 40 long-term Forest Service timber contracts of 20 years or more
What the document says“For the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034, the Secretary shall enter into not fewer than 40 long-term timber sale contracts with private persons or other public or private entities”
The section requires at least 40 long-term timber sale contracts over fiscal years 2025 through 2034 under section 14(a) of the National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 472a) for the sale of national forest materials, each running at least 20 years with options for extension or renewal as the Secretary determines.
What the document actually says“For the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034, the Secretary shall enter into not fewer than 40 long-term timber sale contracts with private persons or other public or private entities”
The Secretary must sign at least 40 long timber contracts. That must happen between fiscal years 2025 and 2034. They may be with firms or with other public bodies.
Each contract must run at least 20 years. The Secretary may allow it to be extended. That is far longer than a normal timber sale.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
