Disposal of National Forest Timber; Cancellation of Timber Sale 
Contracts

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of public comment period

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: A proposed rule to change the procedure for calculating 
damages when timber sale contracts are cancelled was published on 
December 30, 1996 (61 FR 68690) with the comment period closing 
February 13, 1997. Timber industry reviewers have asked for additional 
time to complete their review of this proposed rule because a 
substantial amount of this comment period was used for the review of 
two other timber-related rules proposed by Forest Service.

DATES: Comments must be received by close of business March 17, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Director, Timber Management Staff, 
MAIL STOP 1105, Forest Service, USDA, P.O. Box 96090, Washington, DC 
20090-6090.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Rex Baumback, Timber Management Staff, (202) 205-0855.

    Dated: February 3, 1997.

Associate Chief.
