## Sec. 10 Transportation System **[**[16 U.S.C. 1608](/us/usc/t16/s1608)**]** ###
(a)The Congress declares that the installation of a proper system or transportation to service the National Forest System, as is provided for in Public Law 88–657, the Act of October 13, 1964 (16 U.S.C. 532–538), shall be carried forward in time to meet anticipated needs on an economical and environmentally sound basis, and the method chosen for financing the construction and maintenance of the transportation system should be such as to enhance local, regional, and national benefits7, except that the financing of forest development roads as authorized by clause
(2)of section 4 of the Act of October 13, 1964, shall be deemed “budget authority” and “budget outlays” as those are defined in section 3(a) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 and shall be effective for any fiscal year only in the manner required for new spending authority as specified by section 401(a) of that Act. 7The paragraph under the heading “construction and land acquisition” in title II of Public Law 97–100, approved December 23, 1981 (95 Stat. 1405), sought to amend this section by striking all after “benefits” and inserting “: *Provided, *That limitations on the level of obligations for construction of forest roads by timber purchasers shall be established in annual appropriation Acts.” However, the amendment was mistakenly drafted to section 9 rather than section 10 of this Act. This section was originally section 9 until redesignated by section 2 of Public Law 94–588 (90 Stat. 2949). Consequently, the amendment could not be executed. ###
(b)Unless the necessity for a permanent road is set forth in the forest development road system plan, any road constructed on land of the National Forest System in connection with a timber contract or other permit or lease shall be designed with the goal of reestablishing vegetative cover on the roadway and areas where the vegetative cover has been disturbed by the construction of the road, within ten years after the termination of the contract, permit, or lease either through artificial or natural means. Such action shall be taken unless it is later determined that the road is needed for use as a part of the National Forest Transportation System. ###
(c)Roads constructed on National Forest System lands shall be designed to standards appropriate for the intended uses, considering safety, cost of transportation, and impacts on land and resources.
