                         TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
 
                       CHAPTER 2--NATIONAL FORESTS
 
             SUBCHAPTER I--ESTABLISHMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
 
Sec. 537. Maintenance and reconstruction by road users; funds 
        for maintenance and reconstruction; availability of deposits 
        until expended, transfer of funds, and refunds
        
    The Secretary may require the user or users of a road under the 
control of the Forest Service, including purchasers of Government timber 
and other products, to maintain such roads in a satisfactory condition 
commensurate with the particular use requirements of each. Such 
maintenance to be borne by each user shall be proportionate to total 
use. The Secretary may also require the user or users of such a road to 
reconstruct the same when such reconstruction is determined to be 
necessary to accommodate such use. If such maintenance or reconstruction 
cannot be so provided or if the Secretary determines that maintenance or 
reconstruction by a user would not be practical, then the Secretary may 
require that sufficient funds be deposited by the user to provide his 
portion of such total maintenance or reconstruction. Deposits made to 
cover the maintenance or reconstruction of roads are hereby made 
available until expended to cover the cost to the United States of 
accomplishing the purpose for which deposited: Provided, That deposits 
received for work on adjacent and overlapping areas may be combined when 
it is the most practicable and efficient manner of performing the work, 
and cost thereof may be determined by estimates: And provided further, 
That unexpended balances upon accomplishment of the purpose for which 
deposited shall be transferred to miscellaneous receipts or refunded.
