in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of Agriculture can require national-forest timber buyers to deposit money upfront. That money covers the estimated cost of clearing brush and debris left from cutting. Deposits go into a special Treasury fund, and unused amounts get transferred to the forest-reserve fund.

The Secretary of Agriculture may require buyers of national-forest timber to deposit, in advance, the estimated cost to the United States of clearing away the brush and other debris left over from their cutting operations. These deposits go into the Treasury and become a special fund, which stays available to be spent until it is used up. If any deposits turn out to be more than what's actually spent on clearing the debris, that extra amount gets transferred to miscellaneous receipts in the forest-reserve fund, credited to the receipts of whatever year the transfer happens.
