Abstract

This Regional Law establishes the procedure for the procurement and rates of procurement of timber by the regional residents for individual personal needs for the following purposes: (a) housing construction; (b) overhaul and (or) reconstruction of a residential building on a land plot intended for individual housing construction or management of personal subsidiary farming with the construction of a residential building on a personal land plot on the regional territory; (c) construction, repair or reconstruction of outbuildings (including baths); and (d) heating of a residential building and (or) outbuildings (including baths). It shall not be applicable to timber extraction on the territory of protected areas. Citizens are authorized to extract timber for their own needs on the basis of contracts for the sale of forest plantations for individual personal needs, concluded with the authorized regional executive body in the field of forest relations, without holding an auction and provision of forest plot. Extraction of timber by citizens for their own needs is carried out in accordance with the location of forest plantations specified in the contracts for the sale of forest stand and technological maps developed by the regional budgetary organization subordinate to the forestry enterprise. Allocation and taxation of logging sites for timber extraction by citizens in the required volumes for their own needs is carried out by the forestry enterprise. The term for the procurement of wood by a citizen for individual personal needs is established by a contract for the sale of forest plantations and cannot exceed 12 months from the date of conclusion of the contract for the sale of forest plantations.
