Timber Settlement. The last paragraph on page 65, with 

 marginal heading " Procedure : Forests," is hereby amended to read 

 as follows : 



When timber is involved in a special use case, a report on the 

 timber to be cut. damaged, killed, or destroyed will be prepared on 

 Form 5T8a, together with an estimate of the timber on Form 578b, 

 either at the time when the special use report, Form 964, is made or 

 subsequently, as the supervisor shall determine. The timber report 

 and estimate will in any event be made before cutting or destruction 

 begins. In addition to the usual recommendations in timber sales,, 

 this report will contain recommendations as to whether the timber 

 should be paid for on the basis of the estimate or actual scale, and 

 state when cutting or destruction is likely to take place.
