    (a) Management plans for national forest timber resources shall be 
prepared and revised, as needed, for working circles or other 
practicable units of national forest. Such plans shall:
    (1) Be designed to aid in providing a continuous supply of national 
forest timber for the use and necessities of the citizens of the United 
States.
    (2) Be based on the principle of sustained yield, with due 
consideration to the condition of the area and the timber stands covered 
by the plan.
    (3) Provide, so far as feasible, an even flow of national forest 
timber in order to facilitate the stabilization of communities and of 
opportunities for employment.
    (4) Provide for coordination of timber production and harvesting 
with other uses of national forest land in accordance with the 
principles of multiple use management.
    (5) Establish the allowable cutting rate which is the maximum amount 
of timber which may be cut from the national forest lands within the 
unit by years or other periods.
    (6) Be approved by the Chief, Forest Service, unless authority for 
such approval shall be delegated to subordinates by the Chief.
    (b) When necessary to promote better utilization of national forest 
timber or to facilitate protection and management of the national 
forests, a management plan may include provisions for requirements of 
purchasers for processing the timber to at least a stated degree within 
the working circle, or within a stated area, and, when appropriate, by 
machinery of a stated type; and agreements for cutting in accordance 
with the plan may so require.
