Substitution and the USDA Forest Service log export restrictions.

Abstract

With some exceptions, the substitution of national forest timber for exported private timber is forbidden by regulations. Certain firms may use a limited amount of national forest timber as replacement for exported private timber, however, in accordance with their pattern of purchases and exports from 1971 through 1973. About 359 million board feet of national forest timber could be used annually as replacement for exported private timber by this provision; in 1977, about 102 million board feet was used in this fashion. About 81 percent of the replacement volume was from national forests in Washington.
