SEC. 323. No timber sale in Region 10 shall be advertised 
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 accomplishments shall be 
based on volume sold. Should Region 10 sell, in fiscal year 2002, 
the annual average portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity 
called for in the current 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 2002, less than the annual average portion of the 
decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the current 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, the volume of western 
red cedar timber available to domestic processors at prevailing 
domestic prices in the contiguous 48 United States shall be that 
volume: (i) which is surplus to the needs of domestic processors 
in Alaska; and (ii) is that percent of the surplus western red 
cedar volume determined by calculating the ratio of the total timber 
volume 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 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 Alaska" when the timber sale holder 
has presented to the Forest Service documentation 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 proc-
essors may be exported to foreign markets at the election of the 
timber sale holder. All Alaska yellow cedar may be sold at prevailing 
export prices at the election of the timber sale holder. 
SEC. 324. The Forest Service, in consultation with the Depart-
ment of Labor, shall review Forest Service campground concessions 
policy to determine if modifications can be made to Forest Service 
contracts for campgrounds so that such concessions fall within 
the regulatory exemption of 29 CFR 4.122(b). The Forest Service 
shall offer in fiscal year 2002 such concession prospectuses under 
the regulatory exemption, except that, any prospectus that does 
115 STAT. 470 
PUBLIC LAW 107-63—NOV. 5, 2001

315 of the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appro-
priations Act for Fiscal Year 1996, as amended, shall not result 
in— 
(1) displacement of the holder of an authorization to provide 
commercial recreation services on Federal lands. Prior to initi-
ating any project, the Secretary shall consult with potentially 
affected holders to determine what impacts the project may 
have on the holders. Any modifications to the authorization 
shall be made within the terms and conditions of the authoriza-
tion and authorities of the impacted agency. 
(2) the return of a commercial recreation service to the 
Secretary for operation when such services have been provided 
in the past by a private sector provider, except when— 
(A) the private sector provider fails to bid on such 
opportunities; 
(B) the private sector provider terminates its relation-
ship with the agency; or 
(C) the agency revokes the permit for non-compliance 
with the terms and conditions of the authorization. 
In such cases, the agency may use the Recreation Fee Dem-
onstration Program to provide for operations until a subsequent 
operator can be found through the offering of a new prospectus.

in violation of subparagraph 6(f)(5)(A) of the Forest and Rangeland 
Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 (16 U.S.C. 1604(f)(5)(A)) 
solely because more than 15 years have passed without revision 
of the plan for a unit of the National Forest System. Nothing 
in this section exempts the Secretary from any other requirement 
of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act 
(16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.) or any other law: Provided, That if the 
Secretary is not acting expeditiously and in good faith, within 
the funding available, to revise a plan for a unit of the National 
Forest System, this section shall be void with respect to such 
plan and a court of proper jurisdiction may order completion of
