gency period for salvage timber sales from Federal lands
described in subsection (a)(4). During the emergency period,
the Secretary concerned is to achieve, to the maximum extent
feasible, a salvage timber sale volume level above the pro-
grammed level to reduce the backlogged volume of salvage
timber. The preparation, advertisement, offering, and awarding

Federal law and implementing regulations. A document
embodying decisions relating to salvage timber sales pro-
posed 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,
consider the environmental effects of the salvage timber
H. R. 1944—49

agement plans applicable to the National Forest or Bureau
of Land Management District on which the salvage timber
sale occurs.
(B) USE OF EXISTING MATERIALS.—In lieu of preparing
a new document under this paragraph, the Secretary con-
cerned may use a document prepared pursuant to the

tion collected for such a document or evaluation if the

National Forest and each district of the Bureau of Land
Management.
(C) A plan and schedule for an enhanced salvage timber
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 person-
nel, including personnel reassignments, required to conduct
an enhanced salvage timber sale program through fiscal
year 1997.

performance of such salvage timber sales will not interfere
with salvage timber sales intended for a preceding fiscal year.
(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
to achieve, to the maximum extent feasible, a salvage timber
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, includ-
ing 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

employment pursuant to this paragraph. The Director of
the Office of Personnel Management and the Secretary
concerned shall provide a summary report to the appro-
priate committees of Congress, the Committee on Govern-
ment Reform and Oversight of the House of Representa-
tives, and the Committee on Governmental Affairs of the
Senate regarding the number of incentive payment recipi-
ents 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 under-
taken pursuant to this section shall not be precluded because
the costs of such activities are likely to exceed the revenues
derived from such activities.

section (b) for planned non-salvage timber sales.

H. R. 1944—51
later than any applicable restocking period required by law
or regulation.
(9) EFFECT ON JUDICIAL DECISIONS.—The Secretary con-
cerned may conduct salvage timber sales under subsection (b)
notwithstanding any decision, restraining order, or injunction
issued by a United States court before the date of the enactment
of this section.
(d) DIRECTION TO COMPLETE TIMBER SALES ON LANDS COVERED
BY OPTION 9.—Notwithstanding any other law (including a law
under the authority of which any judicial order may be outstanding
on or after the date of enactment of this Act), the Secretary con-
cerned shall expeditiously prepare, offer, and award timber sale
contracts on Federal lands described in the ‘‘Record of Decision

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
Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(d)) to ease or reduce restrictions on
non-Federal lands within the range of the northern spotted owl
shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.
4332(2)(C)), given the analysis included in the Final Supplemental
Impact Statement on the Management of the Habitat for Late
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 pursu-
ant to section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16
U.S.C. 1533(d)) shall not require the preparation of an environ-
mental 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

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

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 individ-

not in accordance with applicable law (other than those laws
specified in subsection (i)).
(5) TIME FOR DECISION.—Civil actions filed under this sub-
section 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 rec-
ommendations 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

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
