PUBLIC LAW 105-277—OCT. 21, 1998 112 STAT. 2681-302 to domestic processors at rates specified in the timber sale contract in the contiguous 48 states shall be that volume: (i) which is surplus to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska; and (ii) is that percent of the surplus western red cedar volume determined by calculating the ratio of the total timber volume which has been sold on the Tongass to the annual average portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the current Tongass Land Msinagement Plan. The percentage shall be calculated by Region 10 on a rolling basis as each sale is sold. (For purposes of this amendment, a "rolling basis" shall mean that the determination of how much western red cedar is eligible for sale to various markets shall be made at the time each sale is awarded.) Western red cedar shall be deemed "surplus to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska" when the timber sale holder has presented to the Forest Service documentation of the inability to sell western red cedar logs from a given sale to domestic Alaska processors at a price equal to or greater than the log selling value stated in the contract. All additional western red cedar volume not sold to Alaska or contiguous 48 United States domestic processors may be exported to foreign markets at the election of the timber sale holder. All Alaska yellow cedar may be sold at prevailing export prices at the election of the timber sale holder. SEC. 351.

(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the disbursal of funds to any Alaska Native village or Alaska Native village corporation under any contract or compact entered into prior to August 27, 1997, or to prohibit the renewal of any such agreement. SEC. 352. None of the funds in this or any other Act shall be expended in Fiscal Year 1999 by the Department of the Interior, the Forest Service, or any other Federal agency for the capture and physical relocation of grizzly bears in the Selway-Bitterroot area of Idaho and adjacent Montana. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the Department of the Interior, the Forest Service, or any other Federal agency from using fUnds to produce a final environmental impact statement that will include an analysis of the habitat based population viability study completed in 1998, receive public comment on such final environmental impact statement, or issue a Record of Decision.
