The Secretary of the Interior can charge timber buyers extra fees for special services they request, like scaling or marking timber, on Indian trust or restricted lands. Whatever the buyer pays goes back into the fund that paid for the special service.

This section lets the Secretary charge timber buyers for extra services on Indian lands. This applies to timber sold on Indian lands that the United States holds in trust, or that carries restrictions against being sold or mortgaged. If a buyer requests special services beyond what the Secretary normally provides — for example, scaling the timber or marking it — the Secretary of the Interior can charge the buyer for those services. Whatever money the buyer pays goes back into the same appropriation account that funded the special service.
