SECTION 1. STEWARDSHIP END-RESULT CONTRACTING PROJECTS.

    Section 8 of the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978 (16 
U.S.C. 2104) is amended--
            (1) by redesignating subsection (h) as subsection (j) and 
        moving that subsection so as to appear at the end of the 
        section; and
            (2) by inserting after subsection (g) the following:
    ``(h) Cancellation or Termination Costs.--
            ``(1) In general.--Notwithstanding section 304B of the 
        Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 
        U.S.C. 254c), the Secretary is not required to obligate funds 
        to cover the cost of cancelling a Forest Service stewardship 
        multiyear contract under section 347 of the Department of the 
        Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999 (16 
        U.S.C. 2104 note; section 101(e) of division A of Public Law 
        105-277) until the contract is cancelled.
            ``(2) Funding sources.--The costs of any cancellation or 
        termination of a multiyear stewardship contract described in 
        paragraph (1) may be paid from--
                    ``(A) appropriations originally made available for 
                the performance of the contract concerned;
                    ``(B) appropriations currently available for 
                procurement of the type of service concerned, and not 
                otherwise obligated; or
                    ``(C) funds appropriated for payments for that 
                performance or procurement.
            ``(3) Anti-deficiency act violations.--In a case in which 
        payment or obligation of funds under this subsection would 
        constitute a violation of section 1341 of title 31, United 
        States Code (commonly known as the `Anti-Deficiency Act'), the 
        Secretary may--
                    ``(A) seek a supplemental appropriation; or
                    ``(B) request funds from the permanent judgment 
                appropriation established pursuant to section 1304 of 
                title 31, United States Code.''.
