An Act to amend section 14(e) of the National Forest Management Act of 1976.

Summary

Establishes within the Department of Agriculture an Advisory Committee on Timber Sales Procedures to study the methods by which the Forest Service sells timber and to make independent recommendation with respect to establishing procedures by which the Service will be able to sell timber in a manner which will, over the long term, provide for community stability and which will provide the most stable return to the Federal Government while maintaining diversity in terms of sizes, types and locations of operations and facilities which process timber. Terminates such Advisory Committee upon its submission of its findings and recommendations to the Secretary of Agriculture and to the appropriate committees of Congress. Repeals the provision of the National Forest Management Act of 1976 which directs the Secretary to take appropriate action to obviate collusive practices in bidding for trees, portions of trees, or forest products from National Forest System lands.
