SEC. 329. No timber sale in Region 10 shall be adver-
tised if the indicated rate is deficit when appraised under
the transaction evidence appraisal system using domestic
Alaska values for western red cedar: Provided, That sales
which are deficit when appraised under the transaction
evidence appraisal system using domestic Alaska values
for western red cedar may be advertised upon receipt of
a written request by a prospective, informed bidder, who
has the opportunity to review the Forest Service’s cruise
and harvest cost estimate for that timber. Program accom-
plishments shall be based on volume sold. Should Region
10 sell, in fiscal year 2001, the annual average portion
of the decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the cur-
rent Tongass Land Management Plan in sales which are
not deficit when appraised under the transaction evidence
appraisal system using domestic Alaska values for western
red cedar, all of the western red cedar timber from those
sales which is surplus to the needs of domestic processors
in Alaska, shall be made available to domestic processors
in the contiguous 48 United States at prevailing domestic
prices. Should Region 10 sell, in fiscal year 2001, less
than the annual average portion of the decadal allowable
sale quantity called for in the current Tongass Land Man-
agement Plan in sales which are not deficit when ap-
praised under the transaction evidence appraisal system
105
HR 4578 RS
using domestic Alaska values for western red cedar, the

processors at prevailing domestic prices in the contiguous
48 United States shall be that volume: (1) which is surplus
to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska; and (2) is
that percent of the surplus western red cedar volume de-
termined by calculating the ratio of the total timber vol-
ume which has been sold on the Tongass to the annual
average portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity
called for in the current Tongass Land Management Plan.
The percentage shall be calculated by Region 10 on a roll-
ing basis as each sale is sold (for purposes of this amend-
ment, a ‘‘rolling basis’’ shall mean that the determination
of how much western red cedar is eligible for sale to var-
ious markets shall be made at the time each sale is award-
ed). Western red cedar shall be deemed ‘‘surplus to the
needs of domestic processors in Alaska’’ when the timber
sale holder has presented to the Forest Service docu-
mentation of the inability to sell western red cedar logs
from a given sale to domestic Alaska processors at price
equal to or greater than the log selling value stated in
the contract. All additional western red cedar volume not
sold to Alaska or contiguous 48 United States domestic
processors may be exported to foreign markets at the elec-
tion of the timber sale holder. All Alaska yellow cedar may
106
HR 4578 RS
be sold at prevailing export prices at the election of the
timber sale holder.

law, none of the funds in this Act may be used to enter
into any new or expanded self-determination contract or
grant or self-governance compact pursuant to the Indian
Self-Determination Act of 1975, as amended, for any ac-
tivities not previously covered by such contracts, compacts
or grants. Nothing in this section precludes the continu-
ation of those specific activities for which self-determina-
tion and self-governance contracts, compacts and grants
currently exist or the renewal of contracts, compacts and
107
HR 4578 RS
grants for those activities or compliance with 25 U.S.C.
2005.
SEC. 332. In fiscal years 2001 through 2005, the
Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture may pilot test
joint permitting and leasing programs, subject to annual
review of Congress, and promulgate special rules as need-
ed to test the feasibility of issuing unified permits, applica-
tions, and leases. The Secretaries of the Interior and Agri-
culture may make reciprocal delegations of their respective
authorities, duties and responsibilities in support of the
‘‘Service First’’ initiative to promote customer service and
efficiency. Nothing herein shall alter, expand or limit the
applicability of any public law or regulation to lands ad-
ministered by the Bureau of Land Management or the

viding all services necessary to facilitate the performance
of watershed restoration and protection services under

contracts utilizing State contract procedures. Subsections
(d) and (g) of section 14 of the National Forest Manage-
ment Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 472a) shall not apply to
services performed under a cooperative agreement or con-
tract under subsection (a).
(c) RETENTION OF NEPA RESPONSIBILITIES.—With
respect to any watershed restoration and protection serv-
ices on National Forest System lands proposed for per-
formance by the Colorado State Forest Service under sub-
section (a), any decision required to be made under the
