Sec. 701.41  Restoration of practices.

    (a) Cost-sharing may be authorized under the program only for the 
establishment or installation of the practices contained in this part. 
Cost-sharing may not be authorized for repeating any of the practices in 
this part with the same owner on the same acreage, except as provided in 
paragraph (b) or (c) of this section.
    (b) Cost-sharing may be authorized for the replacement, enlargement, 
or restoration of practices for which cost-sharing has been allowed 
under the program only if all of the following conditions exist:
    (1) Replacement or restoration of the practice is needed to solve 
the problem.
    (2) The failure of the original practice was not due to the lack of 
proper maintenance by the current operator.
    (3) The county committee believes that the replacement or 
restoration of the practice merits consideration under the program to an 
equal extent with other practices cost-shared.
    (c) Cost-sharing may be authorized for timber stand improvement 
measures carried out in repetitive steps where, in the judgment of the 
service forester, the stand treatment warrants such silvicultural 
practice.
