Abstract
These rules govern how timber obtained from felled, sawn, cut, or removed tree trunks on federally owned land is to be sold or otherwise transferred.
The Rules establish procedures for disposing of such timber either through auction or without auction, the latter being available to land users who obtained the timber lawfully and wish to purchase it directly. The Federal Agency for State Property Management (Rosimushchestvo) is designated as the seller and is responsible for setting prices, preparing contracts, overseeing auctions, and ensuring compliance. The Rules set strict deadlines for submitting consent or refusal to buy timber, specify how prices are calculated (generally at twice the standard rate per volume), and outline conditions under which the timber must instead be sold via electronic auction. If auctions fail and certain authorities refuse free transfer, mechanisms are provided for offering the timber again to land users or transferring it to regional or municipal ownership.
The final part of the document introduces amendments to various government regulations to ensure consistency with the new timber disposal procedures. In particular, it extends the application of this Order to protected areas. Additional obligations are introduced for land users and tenants—such as requirements to notify Federal Agency for State Property Management (Rosimushchestvo), provide accurate information about felled timber, and comply with restrictions on the movement and preservation of such timber until its lawful disposal.
