## Abstract

This final rule completely removes certain sections of Title 43, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which govern the free use of timber on public lands and upon oil and gas leases. The rule also removes cross references to these sections. These regulations are obsolete and have not been used in many years. Removing them meets one of the objectives of President Clinton's regulatory reform initiative-- to eliminate outdated and unnecessary regulations from the CFR.
