SEC. 6. The Secretary may require the user or users of a road under 
tlie control of the Forest Service, including purchasers of Government 
timber and other products, to maintain such roads in a satisfactory 
condition commensurate with the particular use requirements of each. 
Such maintenance to be borne by each user shall be proportionate to 
total use. The Secretary may also require the user or users of such a 
road to reconstruct the same when such reconstruction is determined 
to be necessary to accommodate such use. If such maintenance or re-
construction cannot be so provided or if the Secretary determines that 
maintenance or reconstruction by a user would not be practical, then 
the Secretary may require that sufficient funds be deposited by the 
user to provide his portion of such total maintenance or reconstruc-
tion. Deposits made to cover the maintenance or reconstruction of 
roads are hereby made available until expended to cover the cost to the 
T'^nited States of accomplishing the purposes for which deposited: 
Provided^ That deposits received for work on adjacent and over-
lapping areas may 1)6 combined when it is the most practicable and 
efficient manner of performing the work, and cost thereof may be 
determined by estimates: And provided further^ That unexpended bal-
ances upon accomplishment of the purpose for which deposited shall 
be transferred to miscellaneous receipts or refunded. 
SEC. 7. Whenever the agreement under which the United States has 
obtained for the use of, or in connection with, the naitional forests and 
other lands administered by the Forest Service a right-of-way or 
easement for a road or an existing road or the right to use an existing 
road provides for delayed payments to the Government's grantor, any 
fees or other collections received by the Secretary for the use of the 
road may be placed in a fund to be available for making payments to 
the grantor.
