emergency period for salvage timber sales from Federal lands

concerned and to the extent the Secretary concerned considers

enactment of this Act, a biological evaluation written
before such date, or information collected for such a
document or evaluation if the document, evaluation, or

personnel, including personnel reassignments, required
to conduct an enhanced salvage timber sale program
through fiscal year 1997.
(E) A statement of the intentions of the Secretary
concerned with respect to the salvage timber sale
volume levels specified in the joint explanatory statement of managers
accompanying the conference report on H.R. 1158.
(3) Advancement of sales authorized.--The Secretary
concerned may begin salvage timber sales under subsection (b)
intended for a subsequent fiscal year before the start of such

(4) Decisions.--The Secretary concerned shall design and
select the specific salvage timber sales to be offered under
subsection (b) on the basis of the analysis contained in the

Contracting Act (41 U.S.C. 253 et seq.) and the
implementing regulations in the Federal
Acquisition Regulation issued pursuant to
section 25(c) of the Office of Federal
Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 421(c)) and
any departmental acquisition regulations; and
(ii) the notice and publication

separation incentive payment authorized by such Act and
accepts employment pursuant to this paragraph. The
Director of the Office of Personnel Management and the
Secretary concerned shall provide a summary report to
the appropriate committees of Congress, the Committee
on Government Reform and Oversight of the House of
Representatives, and the Committee on Governmental
Affairs of the Senate regarding the number of incentive
payment recipients who were rehired, their terms of
reemployment, their job classifications, and an
explanation, in the judgment of the agencies involved

shall not be conducted in a manner that would delay the
rehiring of any former employees under this paragraph,
or affect the normal confidentiality of Federal
employees.
(6) Cost considerations.--Salvage timber sales undertaken
pursuant to this section shall not be precluded because the
costs of such activities are likely to exceed the revenues

described in the ``Record of Decision for Amendments to Forest Service
and Bureau of Land Management Planning Documents Within the Range of
the Northern Spotted Owl'', signed by the Secretary of the Interior and
the Secretary of Agriculture on April 13, 1994. The Secretary concerned
may conduct timber sales under this subsection notwithstanding any
decision, restraining order, or injunction issued by a United States
court before the date of the enactment of this section. The issuance of
any regulation pursuant to section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(d)) to ease or reduce restrictions on non-

Related Species Within the Range of the Northern Spotted Owl, prepared
by the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior in

administrative record of any such regulation. The issuance of any such
regulation pursuant to section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act of
1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(d)) shall not require the preparation of an
environmental impact statement under section 102(2C) of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2C)).
(e) Administrative Review.--Salvage timber sales conducted under
subsection (b), timber sales conducted under subsection (d), and any
decision of the Secretary concerned in connection with such sales,
shall not be subject to administrative review.

conducted under subsection (b), and a timber sale to be

review only in the United States district court for the
district in which the affected Federal lands are located. Any
challenge to such sale must be filed in such district court
within 15 days after the date of initial advertisement of the
challenged sale. The Secretary concerned may not agree to, and
a court may not grant, a waiver of the requirements of this
paragraph.
(2) Effect of filing on agency action.--For 45 days after
the date of the filing of a challenge to a salvage timber sale
to be conducted under subsection (b) or a timber sale to be
conducted under subsection (d), the Secretary concerned shall
take no action to award the challenged sale.
(3) Prohibition on restraining orders, preliminary
injunctions, and relief pending review.--No restraining order,
preliminary injunction, or injunction pending appeal shall be

decision to prepare, advertise, offer, award, or operate a
salvage timber sale pursuant to subsection (b) or any decision
to prepare, advertise, offer, award, or operate a timber sale
pursuant to subsection (d). Section 705 of title 5, United
States Code, shall not apply to any challenge to such a sale.
(4) Standard of review.--The courts shall have authority to
enjoin permanently, order modification of, or void an
individual salvage timber sale if it is determined by a review
of the record that the decision to prepare, advertise, offer,
award, or operate such sale was arbitrary and capricious or
otherwise not in accordance with applicable law (other than
those laws specified in subsection (i)).
(5) Time for decision.--Civil actions filed under this
subsection shall be assigned for hearing at the earliest
possible date. The court shall render its final decision
relative to any challenge within 45 days from the date such
challenge is brought, unless the court determines that a longer
period of time is required to satisfy the requirement of the
United States Constitution. In order to reach a decision within
45 days, the district court may assign all or part of any such
case or cases to one or more Special Masters, for prompt review
and recommendations to the court.
(6) Procedures.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, the court may set rules governing the procedures of any
proceeding brought under this subsection which set page limits
on briefs and time limits on filing briefs and motions and
other actions which are shorter than the limits specified in
the Federal rules of civil or appellate procedure.

district court in an action brought pursuant to this subsection
