                      Subpart 1815_Disaster Relief
 
Sec. 1815.1-1  Relief granted.

    (a) Where an existing timber sale contract does not provide relief 
to the timber purchaser from major physical change, not due to 
negligence of the purchaser, prior to approval of construction of any 
section of specified road or other specified development facility and, 
as a result of a major disaster, a major physical change results in 
additional construction work in connection therewith, the United States 
will bear a share of the increased construction costs. The United 
States' share will be determined by the authorized officer as follows:
    (1) For sales of less than 1 million board feet, costs over $1,000;
    (2) For sales of from 1 to 3 million board feet, costs over the sum 
of $1 per thousand board feet;
    (3) For sales of over 3 million board feet, costs over $3,000.
    (b) Where the authorized officer determines that the damages caused 
by such major physical change are so great that restoration, 
reconstruction, or construction is not practical under this cost-sharing 
arrangement, he may cancel the timber sale contract notwithstanding any 
provisions thereof.
