22 – TIMBER DESIGNATIONS
22.17 – Designation by Description (D x D)
With the exception of R1 Special Provisions C(T)2.38# - SPECIES DESIGNATION and
K-C.3.8# - SPECIES DESIGNATION, all use of Designation by Description on commercial
timber sales and stewardship contracts within Region 1 must be reviewed and approved in
advance by the Regional Office.
22.17e – Designation by Prescription (D x P)
Use of Designation by Prescription (W.O. Special Provision K.3.5.5#) is limited to stewardship
contracts only. Wording to be used in this provision must be reviewed and approved in advance
by the Regional Office. Additional information pertaining to use of Designation by Prescription

23 – SCALING AND MEASURING (B/BT6.8)
23.11 – Scaling Location (B6.811)
When sales are sold in which log trucks will be weighed to determine value for payment
purposes, there is difficulty in predetermining a physical “site and geographic location” for the
requirements in Specific Condition A10 of the FS-2400-6 timber sale contract and in Specific
Condition A.10 in the FS-2400-13 stewardship contract. The Forest Service does not own
weighing facilities, making it difficult to provide a site in A10 and A.10. Forests shall enter the
following statement into Specific Condition A10 of the FS-2400-6 timber sale contract, and in
the General section of the Prospectus for timber sales to be weighed for scale:
“Approved locations with State certified scales meeting the requirements contained in
B6.814.”
The following statement shall be used in Specific Condition A.10 of FS-2400-13 contracts, and
in the General section of the Prospectus for stewardship sales to be weighed for scale:
“Approved locations with State certified scales meeting the requirements contained in
G.8.1.4.”
To ensure that scaling (weighing) is performed in accordance with the terms of the timber sale
contract, sale administrators shall complete and issue to the scaling services contact, a Scaler
Information Form, R1-FS-2440-6 (4/2011). Refer to 23.11 – Exhibit 01. This form should be
received by off-District and off-Forest scaling services contacts at least 5 business days prior to
the anticipated commencement of hauling operations. Form R1-FS-2440-6 will be used for all

scaled sales. If a sale contract is modified to change product specifications or sample groups, a
new Form R1-FS-2440-6 shall be prepared showing the revised specifications and revision date.
23.14 – Weighing Services (B6.814)
The Forest Supervisor must execute a Weighing Services Agreement at all locations used for
weighing products for payment in accordance with B6.814 and G.8.1.4. This agreement is
normally entered into by the Forest Supervisor of the forest within which the weighing facility is
located and is valid for weighing of products originating on any Forest Service timber or
stewardship sales. Refer to 23.14 - Exhibit 01. This exhibit is an example of a Weighing
Services Agreement for use within Region 1.

24.11d – Utilization Scaler
Sale administrators must be able to determine if included timber is being properly utilized and
removed from the sale area according to the specifications included in the timber sale contract.
All sale administrators within Region 1 must be certified as Utilization Scalers. Utilization
Scalers are not authorized to scale for payment. Sale administrators who were formally certified
as production scalers may be certified as Utilization Scalers without taking the training described
below.
In order to be certified as a Utilization Scaler, each sale administrator must complete the
following training requirements:
a. Review the DVD, “Wood Utilization” (2400-Forest Mgmt 0924-1402-SDTDC), as
well as FSH 2409.11a, Chapter 40 – Cubic Scaling Handbook.
b. Participate in a classroom review and discussion of pertinent sections of the Timber
Sale Contract/Stewardship Contract concerning utilization and merchantability specifications.
c. Participate in a field review so that the individual(s) are familiar with sale
administration issues that they may encounter, such as where acceptable utilization was
accomplished and areas where poor utilization in the form of high stumps, missed logs, excessive
long butts, large tops, damaged trees, and other infractions are evident. This review may occur
in a log yard setting examining defective logs.
24.14 – Maintenance of Certification
3. Each sale administrator certified as a Utilization Scaler must go through certification
maintenance training once every four years. This requirement can be accomplished during the
sale administrator’s recertification field review conducted by a Regional Forester’s
Representative.
26 – ALTERNATE SCALING SERVICES
26.4 – Weight Scaling
Weight scaling is the predominate method of scaling within Region 1. There is to be no use of
log (stick) scaling within the Region as the Region does not have a cadre of certified production
or check scalers. Scaled sales will be sold on a green ton basis utilizing a 100% frequency.

CHAPTER 20 – MEASURING AND ACCOUNTING FOR INCLUDED TIMBER
1. Load Weighing Requirements: All trucks and trailers shall be weighed in a single
operation at all weighing facilities where the scale platform is long enough to
accommodate both truck and trailer. Contract requirements call for a minimum platform
length of 70 feet. This is sufficient to accommodate all conventional log trucks and some
truck/trailer combinations. The following direction related to log truck and trailer loads
is applicable to all Region 1stewardship and timber sale contracts utilizing weight
scaling:
a.
Conventional Trucks:
1. Truck driver will pull entire load onto scale platform and remove the Forest Service
Scaler Permit (R1-FS-2440-5).
2. Loaded truck shall be weighed, then unloaded.
3. As soon as the truck is unloaded, driver will return to the scales and obtain a printed
tare (empty) weight.
4. The weight slip shall be stapled to the Forest Service Scaler Permit and deposited in
the locked box at the scale for later retrieval by the Forest Service.
b. Truck/Trailer, Pup or Mule Train Combinations:
1. Loads shall be weighed in a single operation if length of scale platform permits.
2. Following unloading and obtaining a tare weight, a single weight slip is stapled to
both the A and B portion of the Forest Service Scaler Permit (R1-FS-2440-5M) and
deposited in the locked box at the scale for later retrieval by the Forest Service.
3. If the combined length of the truck/trailer, pup or mule train combination exceeds the
length of the scale platform, each load must be pulled onto the scales and weighed
separately.
4. Following unloading and obtaining a tare weight, the Forest Service Scaler Permit A
will be stapled to the weight slip for that load. The weight slip for the second load
shall be stapled to the Forest Service Scaler Permit B and both sets of permits/weight
slips are to be deposited in the locked box at the scale for later retrieval by the Forest
Service.
5. When two loads are weighed separately, empty trucks that do not exceed the scale
length need only one tare weight and it is to be printed on the weight slip that is
attached to Forest Service Scaler Permit A. Forest Service Scaler Permit B and its
corresponding weight slip are to be stapled to Scaler Permit A and its weight slip.
6. No more than 2 separate log truck and trailer units shall be pulled by a truck tractor.
7. On split priced sales, both the truck and pup must be composed of the same product.
It is not acceptable to have saw timber on the truck and non sawtimber on the pup.

27 – TIMBER AND LOG ACCOUNTABILITY
27.1 – Log Accountability Procedures
Three forms of product removal permits (truck tickets) will be used to serve as evidence of
authority to transport National Forest logs as described below:
a. Scaled Sales. Product Removal Permits, Form R1-FS-2440-5 (yellow), must be
used on all scaled sale operations. The product removal permit must be stapled to a
bunk log at the front of the load on the driver's side. The staples must be placed as
indicated on the permit. The product removal permit must remain attached to all
scale loads until the load has reached the designated weight scales and the load has
been weighed for payment. In addition, each truck shall have the last three digits of
the product removal permit number painted in red in large block numbers on the
back end of at least three logs of every load transported from the sale area
(C6.822).
Mule Train Product Removal Permits, Form R1-FS-2440-5M (yellow) must be
used on Mule Train loads only. The product removal permit must be stapled to a
bunk log at the front of both loads on the driver’s side. The staples must be placed
as indicated on the permit. The product removal permit must remain attached to all
scale loads, until the load has reached the designated weight scales and the loads
have been weighed for payment. In addition, each load shall have the last three
digits of the product removal permit number painted in red in large block numbers
on the back end of at least three logs of every load transported from the sale area
(C6.822).
Forest Supervisors are required to ensure that there is a responsible individual
designated to recover the scaler permit portion of the product removal permits from
the point(s) of delivery for these types of timber sales for all delivery points on
their forest.
b. Presale Measurement Sales. Product removal permits, Form FS-R1-2440-5B
(light blue), must be used on all presale measurement sales. The load portion of the
permit must be detached and stapled to a front bunk or wing log on the driver's
side. The location of the staples are marked on each load ticket.
The FS-R1-2440-5B forms are bound in groups of 50. Extra receipts and book
covers can be obtained to permit issuing smaller amounts when the total number of
loads for low volume sales can be accurately estimated. District Rangers shall be

load permits on these types of sales.
27.11 – Route of Haul (B6.841)
In Region 1, B6.841/G.8.4.1 is to be made inapplicable and replaced with R1 Special Provision
C6.849/K-G.8.4.9. The Purchaser/Contractor, as part of the Annual Operating Schedule, must
submit both a map showing the designated route(s) of haul as well as a written plan for hauling
Included Timber from the Sale Area to the designated weight scales. This route of haul shall
normally be the shortest, most economical route between the points. Both the haul route(s) and
the designated weight scales are subject to approval of the Forest Service. The intent is to assist
the Sale Administrator in log and load accountability. Checks of loaded trucks will be made
periodically and results documented. Locations for accountability checks will be agreed to
before haul and truck drivers must stop at these locations, if requested by the Forest Service.
27.12 – Product Identification (B6.842/BT6.81)
Branding and painting shall be accomplished on all new and existing timber sale contracts (FS2400-2, FS-2400-3, FS-2400-4, and FS-2400-6), both scaled and tree measurement versions;
stewardship contracts (2400-13, SF-33 and SF-1449); stewardship agreements (FS-2400-21);
service contracts with product removal and Capital Investment (CI) road contracts in Region 1.
1. Port Vicinity Facilities. All logs destined to Lewiston, Idaho, Port of Umatilla,
Oregon, other Ports east of the Cascades, all points west of the Cascades and any Port of
Entry into British Columbia will be clearly branded and painted with highway yellow
paint on both ends of all logs over seven (7) inches d.i.b. that are eight (8) feet or more in
length and one-third (1/3) or more sound.
2. All Forests. Contracting Officers (C.O.) in Region 1 are authorized to approve
alternate timber identification requirements as shown below. Prior to waiving contract
requirements, the C.O. must determine that the contractual requirements for product
identification are not necessary for accountability or export control. Exhibit 01 contains a
sample waiver.

CHAPTER 20 – MEASURING AND ACCOUNTING FOR INCLUDED TIMBER
a. Bitterroot, Beaverhead-Deerlodge (Pintler Ranger District), Flathead, Helena
(Helena and Lincoln Ranger Districts), Kootenai, Lolo, Clearwater, Idaho Panhandle,
and Nez Perce National Forests.
(1) Branding. Ten (10) logs with an end greater than seven (7) inches d.i.b. on each
load shall be clearly marked on one end with a hammer brand to identify it with the
sale from which it was cut. Logs shall be branded before being removed from the
sale area.
(2) Painting. Each of the ten logs shall be plainly marked on one end with highway
yellow paint before being removed from the sale area. The paint mark shall be on the
same end of the log as the brand.
b. Beaverhead-Deerlodge (Except Pintler Ranger District), Custer ,Gallatin, Helena
(Townsend Ranger District), and Lewis and Clark National Forests.
(1) Branding. All branding will be waived, unless logs are hauled into western
Montana and Idaho in which the rules for those respective areas shall apply.
(2) Painting. All painting will be waived unless logs are hauled into western
Montana and Idaho in which the rules for those respective areas shall apply.
3. Non-manufacturer Facilities. All sawlogs destined to non-manufacturer facilities
such as sort yards, re-loads, collection yards and similar facilities shall be hammer
branded and painted on one end that is over seven (7) inches in diameter.
4. Domestic Processing Requirements. The requirements specified in C(T)8.66# and
K-I.6.8# must be adhered to.
5. Region 1 Loads of Logs Hauled Out of Region. Loads of logs hauled outside
Region 1 boundaries shall meet the log painting and branding requirements of the
receiving Region or Forest.
6. Log and Load Identification Operating Procedures.
a. If mule trains or truck/pup combinations are used, each bunked load stands on its
own and these requirements will apply to each unit. If a flatbed stake trailer is used,
each bundle will be treated as a separate unit.
b. Violations of the Purchaser's written certification to not export, or other than
incidental and inadvertent violation of log painting and branding requirements, may
be cause to rescind all waivers and require double end branding and paint marking of
all logs.

CHAPTER 20 – MEASURING AND ACCOUNTING FOR INCLUDED TIMBER
c. Bucking of broken-ended logs on the sale area to furnish a branding surface will
not be required.
d. A brand register will be maintained in Renewable Resource Management in the
Regional Office. In addition, purchasers of Idaho timber sales will have to register
their brands with the State Board of Scaling Practices at Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
Timber purchasers already having brands registered with the State of Idaho may use
these brands on Forest Service timber sales, when approved in advance by the
Contracting Officer. The same applies to purchasers of Montana sales destined to be
processed in Idaho.
e. On all Montana National Forests, The Supervisor's Office shall assign brands.
f. Branding and painting of non-sawtimber logs is not required. Special branding of
cedar products or other high value exempt material may be required by Contracting
Officers, as appropriate, to meet accountability requirements. Proposals for such
systems shall be coordinated with adjacent Forests and approved by the Regional
Forester prior to implementation.
g. Brands shall not be reissued to a new sale until at least 2 months have lapsed since
closure of the original sale. Contracting Officers may waive the 2-month brand
reissue requirement on a small sale when there is assurance that all volume has been
removed.
Exceptions to any of the log branding requirements stipulated here shall be approved in advance
of implementation by the Regional Forester.
Region 1 will not use the letters I, K, Q, U, V, W, or X; numbers 0, 2, 5, or 6; or the letter 'A'
with a number or any number combinations beginning with the number '4'. In addition, Region 1
Forests will not use 'BC', 'AO', or 'PS' letter combinations. All brands will be 1-inch letter size.
Notify Renewable Resource Management in the Regional Office if you have need of Regional
Office reserve brands.

27.12 – Exhibit 01 Sample Waiver of Branding and Painting
Partial Waiver of Branding and Painting Requirements
of B(T)6.842/G.8.4.2 Product Identification
Sale Name:
Contract No.: 01-
In accordance with Region 1 policy, I have determined that circumstances on this sale warrant a
partial waiver of the requirements of Standard Provision B(T) 6.842/G.8.4.2 wherein the
branding and painting requirements are replaced with the following alternate measures:
1. Single end paint and brand a minimum of 10 logs per load.
2. Brands and paint shall be on the same end of the log.
3. If mule trains or truck/pup combinations are used, each bunked load will stand on its own and
these guidelines will apply to each unit. If a flatbed stake trailer is used, each bundle will be
treated as a separate unit.
4. This waiver does not apply to loads of logs that are destined to Lewiston, Idaho, Port of
Umatilla, Oregon, other Ports east of the Cascades, all points west of the Cascades, any port of
entry into British Columbia, or sawlogs destined to non-manufacturer facilities such as sort
yards, re-loads, collection yards and similar facilities prior to Domestic Primary Manufacture (36
CFR 223.160).
5. All other requirements in Standard Provision B(T) 6.842/G.8.4.2 Product Identification
remain in effect.
This waiver can be terminated at no cost to the Forest Service for any changes in Forest Service
policy or for infractions, including, but not limited to: logs being shipped from your facility to
areas requiring double end branding and painting, or non compliance with the above
requirements.

CHAPTER 20 – MEASURING AND ACCOUNTING FOR INCLUDED TIMBER
27.2 – Accountability on Scaled Sales (B6.84)
27.21 – Load Accountability
Contracting Officers shall ensure that load checks of loaded log trucks from scaled sales are
made at least once each month for each active sale when log hauling is in progress, with a
minimum check of four (4) percent of all loads hauled. Where accountability is found to be
unsatisfactory, immediate corrective action must be taken, followed by road checks at least once
each week until satisfactory accountability practices have been established. Road checks must
be documented on the Timber Sale Inspection Report form. A complete record of all individual
road checks will be filed at the District Office in one accumulative "Loaded Log Truck Check"
file.
Forest Supervisors shall ensure that the procedures for forest products accountability found in the
Northern Region Forest Product Accountability Plan are implemented. Off-hour and weekend
surveillance techniques are used as a prevention tool to discourage the unauthorized removal of
timber and other forest products from National Forest lands and to ensure that Purchasers comply
with timber sale contract requirements after normal working hours and on weekends. District
Rangers shall develop and implement a written off-hour and weekend surveillance plan and
insure that adequate financing and manpower are available to do the job. Each effort shall be
documented and forwarded to Timber Management in the Supervisor's Office for review and
internal accountability checks.
Logs are occasionally off-loaded along the haul route or at State weigh stations by truck drivers
to reduce overloading. R1 C6.822 - Presentation for Weight Scaling, requires that loads of logs
"shall remain intact while in transit" until they reach the scaling (weighing) location. The
Purchaser is required to notify the Forest Service prior to off-loading logs and logs are not
permitted to be stored at State weigh station sites. Logs are to be off loaded onto an empty truck
and have a load removal permit attached. Off-loaded logs are to be delivered immediately to the
designated weight scales.
When a load is altered enroute without notification to the Forest Service, or logs are off loaded
and left at State weigh stations, a violation of the requirements of C6.822 and C6.840 has
occurred and the following procedures shall be applied:
The logs removed from the load shall be loaded out and weighed and the volume entered in TSA
under the appropriate contract.
The purchaser shall be placed in breach (B9.3) of R1 Special Provisions C6.822, C6.840 and
Standard Provision B6.3. If the problem is reoccurring or the volume involved is substantial,
hauling shall be suspended until the purchaser submits a written plan to remedy to the breach.
In addition to any state imposed fines, the truck driver can be cited under 36 CFR 261.6(c).

3. Accountability.
a. The control register described in the parent text shall be kept in a bound ledger (no
loose leaf type binder is acceptable). Use the Remarks block to record unused
permit serial numbers remaining in book, if any, as well as any other pertinent
information. Product removal permit books and control registers shall be stored
in a locked cabinet or similar facility that provides complete security. Keys to the
cabinet must be secured as well. Two individuals on each Ranger District should
be assigned the responsibility of managing product removal permits.
b. All product removal permit books shall be issued using the receipts system on the
last page of each product removal permit book. Both portions of the receipts are
to be filled out and shall be kept in a special file. The "Purchaser's Copy" is to be
signed and given to Purchaser's Representative when the book has been returned
to the District. The "Forest Service Copy" of the receipt shall be given to the
individual(s) maintaining the permanent control register so that disposition of the
book may be entered into the master record.
c. Book number, sale name, date, log brand and sample group will be stamped or
written with a heavy black felt tip marker on the front cover of the issued permit
removal permit book. Each individual permit in the book is to be stamped with
the sale name, contract number, purchaser name, log brand, sample group and the
return address of the issuing office. Individually printed adhesive labels may be
used as long as the ink is non-smearing and the labels cannot be removed once
afixed to the book.
d. Purchasers shall not be issued more than a 30-day supply of product removal
permit books. The number of additional books issued will be dependent upon the
number of used books returned. All product removal permit books shall be
returned when Purchaser's operations become inactive for more than 60 calendar
days.
e. Partial product removal permit books shall only be reissued to the same sale with
the same sample group. All other partial permit removal permit books shall be
destroyed.
f. The following process will be used to issue and account for product removal
permits for non-sawtimber material on split priced sales within Region 1:
Whole books of yellow product removal permits, either R1-FS-2440-5 or R1-FS2440-5M Mule Train Load Receipts will be issued to the designated Sale

Administrator for the sale. Books will not be broken apart. These books are
accountable property and shall be signed for by the Sale Administrator.
Following inspection and certification of non-sawtimber material decked on the
landing, the Sale Administrator will issue the needed number of product removal
permits to the designated Purchaser Representative or Field Representative for the
sale.
The designated Purchaser Representative or Field Representative will sign the
Woods Permit portion (stub) in place of the truck driver at the time the permits
are issued by the Sale Administrator.
Whole books of non-sawtimber removal permits are not to be issued to the
Purchaser.
This process is contained in R1 Special Provisions C6.848 and K-G.8.4.8 –
WEIGHT ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SPLIT PRICING.
g. Used, partially used, and unused assigned stamped product removal permit books
and permits, once accounted for and which cannot be reissued, shall be destroyed
by burning or shredding. Since the product removal permit books are accountable
forms, dual custody disposal procedures shall be used. This procedure involves
two or more persons being present at the time the book or books are destroyed.
All persons present at the disposal process shall certify in writing in the control
register that all books were, in fact, destroyed. Disposal date shall also be
indicated in the control register book.
h. It is not intended that the same accountability procedures be applied to the "stub"
portion of these permit books. Once all the permits have been used and the stub
books are returned, they can be disposed of in any manner acceptable to the
forest. Only the scaler permit or Forest Service load permit portion must be
destroyed as outlined in this chapter.
27.3 – Accountability on Presale Measurement Sales
Product Removal Permit Books, Forms FS-R1-2440-5B and FS-R1-2440-5A, are accountable
property, and as such must be placed under proper security. Follow the same accountability
procedures as described for product removal permits on scaled sales (Section 27.22, #3).
Contracting Officers shall ensure that the requirements for loaded truck checks described in
27.21 are met on all presale measurement sales.

CHAPTER 20 – MEASURING AND ACCOUNTING FOR INCLUDED TIMBER
29 – EXPORT ADMINISTRATION
29.1 – Administration of Export Restrictions
Administration of the log export regulation requires surveillance of export yard and dock
facilities by the Forest Service. The main area of concern for Region 1 is the port vicinity in the
Lewiston, Idaho and Clarkston, Washington areas. The responsibility for this surveillance is
delegated to the Forest Supervisor of the Umatilla National Forest (R6). The Forest Supervisor
has designated an individual on the Umatilla National Forest as the Log Export Inspector to
monitor log export activities for Regions 1, 4 and 6 for the Columbia River from LewistonClarkston to Boardman area. In order to maintain continuity in log export and accountability
requirements for Region 1, the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest Supervisor shall designate,
in writing, an individual to meet with the Log Export Inspector to discuss these matters on an
intermittent basis.
As an adjunct to this activity, the individual designated from the Nez Perce-Clearwater National
Forest shall make unannounced visits to the port vicinity to do the following:
11. Inspect the movement of logs and maintain a continuing dialogue with log purchasers
where the interests of the Government may be involved.
12. Inspect truck tickets, log brands, log painting, and weighing facilities.
13. Each inspection visit shall be documented on an inspection form which shall be kept on
file in the Nez Perce-Clearwater Forest Supervisor's office.
