| 06-36 | Sale and Disposal of National Forest System Timber; Free Use to Individuals; Delegation of Authority | Rule | This interim final rule raises the value limit of timber that can be granted by line officers to individuals for use free of charge. Current regulations limit the value of free use timber that a designated forest officer can grant to an individual in a fiscal year to $20. Forest Supervisors are limited to $100 per year per individual and Regional Foresters are limited to $5,000 per year per individual. Free use exceeding $5,000 must be reviewed by the Chief of the Forest Service. The ability of the Forest Service to respond to legitimate requests for free use have been restricted by these limits as timber values have increased over the years. The Forest Service is raising the limits to $200 for forest officers, $5,000 for Forest Supervisors, and $10,000 for Regional Foresters. Any request for free use in excess of $10,000 in value would still require review by the Chief of the Forest Service. No other changes to the regulations concerning free use of timber are being proposed. | 2006-01-04 | 2006 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/01/04/06-36/sale-and-disposal-of-national-forest-system-timber-free-use-to-individuals-delegation-of-authority | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2006-01-04/pdf/06-36.pdf | Agriculture Department; Forest Service | 12,209 | This interim final rule raises the value limit of timber that can be granted by line officers to individuals for use free of charge.
