the surplus western red cedar volume determined by calcu-

decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the current
Tongass Land Management Plan. The percentage shall be
calculated by Region 10 on a rolling basis as each sale is
sold (for purposes of this amendment, a ‘‘rolling basis’’ shall
mean that the determination of how much western red cedar
is eligible for sale to various markets shall be made at the
time each sale is awarded). Western red cedar shall be
deemed ‘‘surplus to the needs of domestic processors in Alas-

Service documentation of the inability to sell western red
cedar logs from a given sale to domestic Alaska processors
