Common use of Scaling Adjustments Clause in Contracts

Scaling Adjustments. Forest Service shall check the accuracy of the Scaling performed on Na- tional Forest logs. Scaling will be satisfactory if performed within the accuracy standards stated in governing instruc- tions identified in A.9. In the event Forest Service check Scale(s) shows a variance in net Scale in excess of the al- lowable variance, an adjustment to volume reported Scaled may be made by Forest Service. (a) One-half of the volume Scaled between the last satisfactory check Scale and the first unsatisfactory check Scale or, if a period of 120 days or more occurs without Scaling National Forest timber for stumpage, the adjustment will be applied to 100 percent of the volume Scaled after this period and (b) 100 percent of the volume Scaled between unsatisfactory check Scales and (c) One-half of the volume Scaled between the last unsatisfactory check Scale and the next satisfactory check Scale, or if no satisfactory check Scale is completed and a period of 120 days or more occurs without Scaling of Na- tional Forest timber for stumpage, the adjustment will be applied to 100 percent of the volume Scaled since the last unsatisfactory check Scale. Adjustments may increase or decrease the original Scaled volume. Adjustments will be applied to Integrated Re- source Account to correct charges for Included Timber, plus deposits, Scaled during the adjustment period.
