The Secretary of the Interior may appraise and sell timber on public lands in Alaska. The timber generally must be used in Alaska, sales must meet local yearly needs, and the money must be deposited in the Treasury.

The Secretary of the Interior may, under rules he prescribes, appraise all or part of the timber on public lands in Alaska. He may periodically sell as much as he considers proper, for at least its appraised value and in quantities he sets for each buyer. The timber must be used in Alaska, except as otherwise stated, and may not be exported except as allowed by section 615b. Sales must always be limited to the actual amount needed for consumption in Alaska from year to year. Buyers must pay the designated officer of the local land office for the district where the timber is sold, following the Secretary's rules. That officer must keep a separate account and report the money to the Secretary, and the money must be deposited in the Treasury.
