Sec.  212.10  Maximum economy National Forest System roads.

    The Chief may acquire, construct, reconstruct, improve, and maintain 
National Forest System roads within and near the National Forests and 
other lands administered by the Forest Service in locations and 
according to specifications which will permit maximum economy in 
harvesting timber from such lands tributary to such roads and at the 
same time meet the requirements for protection, development, and 
management thereof and for utilization of the other resources thereof. 
Financing of such roads may be accomplished--
    (a) By the Chief utilizing appropriated funds,
    (b) By requirements on purchasers of National Forest timber and 
other products, including provisions for amortization of road costs in 
contracts,
    (c) By cooperative financing with other public agencies and with 
private agencies or persons, or
    (d) By a combination of these methods, provided that where roads are 
to be constructed at a higher standard than the standard--consistent 
with applicable environmental laws and regulations--that is sufficient 
for harvesting and removal of National Forest timber and other products 
covered by a particular sale, the purchaser of the timber and other 
products shall not be required to bear the part of the cost necessary to 
meet the higher standard, and the Chief may make such arrangements to 
achieve this end as may be appropriate.
