given the term in section 101.

mechanical treatments intended to produce merchantable wood.
''(2) Funding.--The Secretary shall use to carry out
paragraph (1)--
''(A) funds described in subsection (f)(3); and
''(B) any other funds made available for the
purposes described in paragraph (1).

for all Federal land subject to the effects of a
catastrophic event, including on Federal land outside

''(2) Emergency alternative arrangements.--In accordance
with section 220.4 of title 36, Code of Federal Regulations and

''(1) In general.--As soon as practicable during but not
later than 30 days after the conclusion of a catastrophic
event, the Secretary shall initiate timely salvage activities
