Sec.  223.38  Standards for road design and construction.

    Road construction authorized under timber sale contracts, permits 
and other documents authorizing the cutting or removal of timber or 
forest products shall be designed to standards appropriate for the 
intended uses, considering safety, cost of transportation, and impacts 
on land and resources. If the sale contract provides for road design 
standards in excess of those needed for the harvest and removal of 
timber from that sale, including measures to protect adjacent resource 
values, provision shall be made in the contract for compensating the 
purchaser for the additional costs, unless the purchaser elects 
Government construction under section 14(i) of the National Forest 
Management Act of 1976.
