Federal law and implementing regulations. A document

embodying decisions relating to salvage timber sales proposed under authority of this section shall, at the sole

discretion of the Secretary concerned and to the extent

the Secretary concerned considers appropriate and feasible,

sale program for fiscal years 1995, 1996, and 1997 using

the authority provided by this section for salvage timber

sales.

(D) A description of any needed resources and personnel, including personnel reassignments, required to conduct

an enhanced salvage timber sale program through fiscal

year 1997. (E) A statement of the intentions of the Secretary

concerned with respect to the salvage timber sale volume

levels specified in the joint explanatory statement of managers accompanying the conference report on H.R. 1158,

House Report 104–124.

(3) ADVANCEMENT OF SALES AUTHORIZED.—The Secretary

concerned may begin salvage timber sales under subsection

(4) DECISIONS.—The Secretary concerned shall design and

select the specific salvage timber sales to be offered under

subsection (b) on the basis of the analysis contained in the

document or documents prepared pursuant to paragraph (1)
H. R. 1944—50

sale volume level above the program level.

(5) SALE PREPARATION.—

(A) USE OF AVAILABLE AUTHORITIES.—The Secretary

concerned shall make use of all available authority, including the employment of private contractors and the use

of expedited fire contracting procedures, to prepare and

advertise salvage timber sales under subsection (b).

(B) EXEMPTIONS.—The preparation, solicitation, and

award of salvage timber sales under subsection (b) shall

be exempt from—

(i) the requirements of the Competition in

Contracting Act (41 U.S.C. 253 et seq.) and the

implementing regulations in the Federal Acquisition

Regulation issued pursuant to section 25(c) of the Office

of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 421(c))

and any departmental acquisition regulations; and

(ii) the notice and publication requirements in section 18 of such Act (41 U.S.C. 416) and 8(e) of the

Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(e)) and the

Restructuring Act of 1994 (Public Law 103–226; 5 U.S.C.

5597 note) shall not apply to any former employee of the

Secretary concerned who received a voluntary separation

incentive payment authorized by such Act and accepts

employment pursuant to this paragraph. The Director of

Senate regarding the number of incentive payment recipients who were rehired, their terms of reemployment, their

job classifications, and an explanation, in the judgment

of the agencies involved of how such reemployment without

repayment of the incentive payments received is consistent

with the original waiver provisions of such Act. This report

shall not be conducted in a manner that would delay the

rehiring of any former employees under this paragraph,

or affect the normal confidentiality of Federal employees.

(6) COST CONSIDERATIONS.—Salvage timber sales undertaken pursuant to this section shall not be precluded because

the costs of such activities are likely to exceed the revenues

derived from such activities.

under the authority of which any judicial order may be outstanding

on or after the date of enactment of this Act), the Secretary concerned shall expeditiously prepare, offer, and award timber sale

contracts on Federal lands described in the ‘‘Record of Decision

for Amendments to Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management

Planning Documents Within the Range of the Northern Spotted

Owl’’, signed by the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary

of Agriculture on April 13, 1994. The Secretary concerned may

conduct timber sales under this subsection notwithstanding any

decision, restraining order, or injunction issued by a United States

court before the date of the enactment of this section. The issuance

of any regulation pursuant to section 4(d) of the Endangered Species

Successional and Old Growth Forest Related Species Within the

Range of the Northern Spotted Owl, prepared by the Secretary

of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior in 1994, which

is, or may be, incorporated by reference in the administrative record

of any such regulation. The issuance of any such regulation pursuant to section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16

U.S.C. 1533(d)) shall not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement under section 102(2)(C) of the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)). (e) ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW.—Salvage timber sales conducted under subsection (b), timber sales conducted under subsection (d),

and any decision of the Secretary concerned in connection with

such sales, shall not be subject to administrative review. (f) JUDICIAL REVIEW.— (1) PLACE AND TIME OF FILING.—A salvage timber sale to be conducted under subsection (b), and a timber sale to

be conducted under subsection (d), shall be subject to judicial

review only in the United States district court for the district

in which the affected Federal lands are located. Any challenge

days after the date of initial advertisement of the challenged

sale. The Secretary concerned may not agree to, and a court

may not grant, a waiver of the requirements of this paragraph.

(2) EFFECT OF FILING ON AGENCY ACTION.—For 45 days

after the date of the filing of a challenge to a salvage timber

sale to be conducted under subsection (b) or a timber sale

to be conducted under subsection (d), the Secretary concerned

shall take no action to award the challenged sale.

(3) PROHIBITION ON RESTRAINING ORDERS, PRELIMINARY

INJUNCTIONS, AND RELIEF PENDING REVIEW.—No restraining
H. R. 1944—52

order, preliminary injunction, or injunction pending appeal

shall be issued by any court of the United States with respect

to any decision to prepare, advertise, offer, award, or operate

a salvage timber sale pursuant to subsection (b) or any decision

to prepare, advertise, offer, award, or operate a timber sale

pursuant to subsection (d). Section 705 of title 5, United States

Code, shall not apply to any challenge to such a sale.

(4) STANDARD OF REVIEW.—The courts shall have authority

to enjoin permanently, order modification of, or void an individual salvage timber sale if it is determined by a review of

the record that the decision to prepare, advertise, offer, award,

or operate such sale was arbitrary and capricious or otherwise

not in accordance with applicable law (other than those laws

specified in subsection (i)).

(5) TIME FOR DECISION.—Civil actions filed under this subsection shall be assigned for hearing at the earliest possible

date. The court shall render its final decision relative to any

challenge within 45 days from the date such challenge is

brought, unless the court determines that a longer period of

time is required to satisfy the requirement of the United States

Constitution. In order to reach a decision within 45 days, the

district court may assign all or part of any such case or cases

to one or more Special Masters, for prompt review and recommendations to the court.

(6) PROCEDURES.—Notwithstanding any other provision of

law, the court may set rules governing the procedures of any

proceeding brought under this subsection which set page limits

on briefs and time limits on filing briefs and motions and

other actions which are shorter than the limits specified in

the Federal rules of civil or appellate procedure.

court in an action brought pursuant to this subsection shall

be filed not later than 30 days after the date of decision.

System or district of the Bureau of Land Management subject

to section 318 of Public Law 101–121 (103 Stat. 745). The

return of the bid bond of the high bidder shall not alter the

responsibility of the Secretary concerned to comply with this

paragraph. (2) THREATENED OR ENDANGERED BIRD SPECIES.—No sale

unit shall be released or completed under this subsection if

any threatened or endangered bird species is known to be

nesting within the acreage that is the subject of the sale unit. (3) ALTERNATIVE OFFER IN CASE OF DELAY.—If for any reason a sale cannot be released and completed under the terms

of this subsection within 45 days after the date of the enactment

of this Act, the Secretary concerned shall provide the purchaser

plan, standard, guideline, policy, regional guide, or multiforest plan

because of implementation or impacts, site-specific or cumulative,
H. R. 1944—54

of activities authorized or required by this section, except that

any such administrative action with respect to salvage timber sales

is permitted to the extent necessary, at the sole discretion of the

Secretary concerned, to meet the salvage timber sale goal specified

in subsection (b)(1) of this section or to reflect the effects of the

salvage program. The Secretary concerned shall not rely on salvage

timber sales as the basis for administrative action limiting other

multiple use activities nor be required to offer a particular salvage

timber sale. No project decision shall be required to be halted

or delayed by such documents or guidance, implementation, or

impacts.
