The sale planner should not attempt to determine proportions by separating 

 jointly integrated objectives. As an example, if a particular acre of harvest 

 will produce both timber benefits and wildlife benefits to meet forest plan 

 objectives, the primary purpose must be identified as either timber or wildlife 

 and coded as such . 



Data Storage in TSA 



The project codes would be separated into three categories in TSA: the purpose 

 code, the activity code, and the percent of the sale in each category. Each 

 combination of purpose and activity code requires a separate line entry in the 

 system. 



The information would be stored as follows: 



Sale Purpose Code 

 Activity Code 

 Activity Percentage 



Valid Sale Purpose Codes include: 



2 positions 



2 position 



3 positions (to the nearest 1%) 



TC -- Timber Commodity Purpose 

 FS - - Forest Stewardship Purpose 

 PP - - Personal Use 



For each sale purpose code, valid activity codes include: 



Purpose

Valid activity Codes

Recreation/Visual/Cultural Resource Enhancements 



Wildlife Habitat Management 



Fisheries Habitat Management and Watershed Improvement

The TSA system will require that, on the initial insert of a contract/permit, a 

 valid purpose/activity code combination be present. This will be done by the 

 establishment of the proper edits in the TSA system at time of input. If a 

 single purpose/activity code is entered for a contract/permit the percentage 

 must equal 100 percent. If not, the contract/permit will be rejected. 

 Modifications to the purpose/activity code and activity percentage will be 

 allowed. The total of the activity percent must equal 100 percent at all 

 times. A purpose/activity code with zero activity percent will not be 

 allowed. Any delete of a purpose/activity code will require a modification to 

 another purpose/activity code and activity percent or the input of a new 

 purpose/activity code and activity percentage in the same edit/update cycle to 

 maintain the 100 percent total required.
