USE AGREEMENTS
62 - STANDARD FORM SUPPLEMENT (EXHIBIT B).
62.5 - Section 4 - Basis of Cost-Sharing. All of the dollar entries used in the table
(or separate attached schedule) should be taken directly from the fact sheet. The
percentages for cooperator's share and Government share can then be calculated
and entered.
62.6 - Section 5 - Method of Payment. Important principles to remember when
working up Item 4 of Section 5 include the following:
1. Recovery of excess costs by the cooperator through the collection right
process must be made on road segments described in the supplement and in no
greater amount than earned on said supplement.
2. If the cooperator has excess costs, not offset, the collection rate per M
board feet in the supplement and easement should be specified as $1. For any given
timber sale, a higher rate may actually be employed, as the Regional Forester or
Forest Supervisor deems appropriate. However, the rate must not be so high as to
violate the intent of Section 4 of Public Law 88-657.
3. Recovery of excess costs by the cooperator through receipt of appropriated
funds from the Government, and recovery through the collection right process,
cannot be combined on a single road segment. This can be done, however, by
identifying two separate road segments, and applying the cash payment to one, the
collections to the other. This separate identification is necessary in both the
easement and the fact sheet.
