Summary
Small Business Salvage Timber Sales Act of 1982 - Requires the Secretary of the Interior to offer to sell to small businesses not less than 30 percent of the salvage timber which is harvested from land managed by the Bureau of Land Management and offered for sale in any fiscal year. Provides that a small business interested in such an offer must, not later than 45 days after such an offer is made: (1) certify that it is primarily engaged in the logging or forest products industry, is not owned or controlled by another person, and does not have more than ten employees; and (2) submit a bid which is higher than bids submitted by other certified small businesses and is not less than the fair market value of the salvage timber. Authorizes the Secretary to sell the salvage timber to any one if no bids are received from small businesses before the end of the 45-day period.
