^. " Base rates" are set administrately and generally 

 represent the lowest rate for which timber can be purchased. The 

 LPK and APC rates were established at the beginning of their 

 contract terms in 1951 and 1956, respectively. The long-term 

 rates are reappraised at five-year intervals and may be higher 

 than base rates, but never lower. The redetermined rates shown 

 above for APC aare at the 1956 contract base rate; the LPK rate 

 is slightly above the 1951 contractual base rates. 



^. LPK's stumpage rate was reappraised recently. However, 

 payments to the Treasury will not increase , because LPK may 

 apply "ineffective purchaser credits" accumulated under the 

 12/1/81 redetermined rate to future timber purchases. See: 

 footnote 3, supra.
