record to cover all USAID Locator 

Systems, to include the Emergency 

Notification System, USAID Web site 

Modernization to include requests for 

newsletters via USAID.gov and 

information collected on Agency 

Telework forms. This would also

urgent situation, conduct continuity of 

operations planning exercises, and 

identify individuals with specialized 

areas of expertise to facilitate 

professional contacts.

Abstract: Pursuant to statutory 

requirements at 16 U.S.C. 472a, unless 

extraordinary conditions exist as 

defined by regulation, the Secretary of 

Agriculture must (1) advertise sales of 

all National Forest System timber or

the Small Business Administration, 

Forest Service regulations at Title 36 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations, 

§ 223.84 require Forest Service bid

System timber will be sold at not less 

than appraised value, that bidders will 

meet specific criteria when submitting a 

bid, and to monitor bidding for evidence 

of anti-trust violations. 

The tax identification number of each 

bidder is entered into an automated bid 

monitoring system, which is used to 

determine if speculative bidding or 

unlawful bidding practices are 

occurring and is required to process 

electronic payments to the purchaser.
