Sec. 619. Emergency stumpage rate redeterminations in Alaska


(a) Application; applicable period

    Emergency stumpage rate redetermination shall be made upon the 
written application of the purchaser of National Forest timber in 
Alaska, bid after January 1, 1974, and rates established as a result 
thereof shall be effective for timber scaled during a period between 
January 1, 1981, and five years from October 16, 1984.

(b) Competitive effect of modification of contracts

    In making the emergency rate redeterminations the Secretary may 
modify existing contract terms, including the amount of the bid premium, 
in order to provide rates which will permit the holders of contracts bid 
after January 1, 1974, to be competitive with other purchasers of 
National Forest timber.

(c) Excepted contracts

    The provisions of this section shall not apply to contracts held by 
the holders of 50-year timber sale contracts in Alaska.
