Sec. 223.112  Modification of contracts.

    (a) Timber sale contracts may be modified only when the modification 
will apply to unexecuted portions of the contract and will not be 
injurious to the United States. Modifications may be made by the officer 
approving the sale, by his successor, or by his superior, except as 
provided in Sec. 223.110.
    (b) Timber sale contracts awarded after October 1, 1995, that have 
been suspended for more than 90 days, during the normal operating 
season, at no fault of the purchaser, because of administrative appeals 
or litigation, that did not include contract provisions for rate 
redeterminations may be modified at the request of the timber sale 
purchaser to include a rate redetermination for the remaining 
unharvested volume to reflect significant decreases in market value 
during the period of delay. Rates in effect at the time of the 
suspension will be redetermined in accordance with the standard Forest 
Service methods in effect 45 days prior to the rate redetermination.
