Reuss, Chairman II /II/I Subcommittee on Conservation and LM096038 Natural Resources C Committee on Government Operations House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: In accordance with your request of November 22, 1972, and subsequent agreements with your office, we are reporting on our followup of actions taken to implement the recommenda- Z'ion from our 1966 report to the Congress-on the need to.._..e- solve differences in procedures used by Federal timber_ mazg- ment ag Ii~~~_Jng ~Pri~ i er-p-'e &fetjf d.fr saih B-1250 53, Dec. 29, 1966). We made our inquiries at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB); the headquarters and Pacific Northwest regional office of the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture; and the headquarters and Portland, Oregon, Service Center of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Department of the Interior. Although our 1966 report also covered Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs, we limited our followup to the Forest Service - 9 and BLM because their timber management programs are more com- ',parable. The Forest Service and BLM have resolved some differences in their appraisal procedures but they have not resolved others even though the Congress stated in 1956 that uniform procedures were to be established and OMB, the Forest Service, and BLM had expended considerable efforts since then toward establish- ing greater uniformity. Also, the agencies have underway a joint study to improve and simplify appraisal procedures. Al- though this study could lead to greater uniformity, it is not primarily directed at establishing uniform procedures. On the basis of the results of the agencies' past efforts and the lack of specific current efforts to establish uniform procedures, we believe it unlikely that the agencies will re- solve the remaining differences in their appraisal procedures in the near future.
