NFJA Spring Meeting

l he National Forest Products Association's Spring Meeting held recently in Washington, D.C., focused on the barrage of government regulation the forest industrv and all orher industries face as a result of the rash of legislation and agency actions in recent years.

Sounding the keynote, NFPA President Don-Lee M. Davidson, Davidson Industries, Mapleton, Or., said industry recognizes that certain regulations are needed to protect public safety and health and to guide the general conduct ofbusiness and trade. "But we've lons since exceeded the measure oT what's essential to protect the public interest," he declared.

Forest industry members, he said, need to make Congress, the administration and the regulatory agencies understand "why we are concerned and how our whole country is affected by runaway regulation." He added: "At the same time we must be prepared with sound technical data to substantiate our positions. This is costly, but we have no choice."

Committee meetings and guest speakers reviewed the manv critical issues now before Congress, including Wilderness legislation deriving from the Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II), the administration's reorganization plan for a new Department of Natural Resources includine transfer of the Forest Service to th6 Department of Interior, the foreign trade bill, Alaska lands bill. Forest Service appropriations, repeal of the carryover basis rule in estate taxation, Ioan programs for private non-industrial woodland owners, Endangered Species Act reauthorization and others.

FE0ERAt regulation of private business has "long since exceeded the measure of what's essential to protect the public interest," Don-Lee Davidson. pres. of the National Forest Products Assn., said at the gr0up's recent spring meeting, which focused on lederal "regulatory overkill."

Also analyzed at committee sessions were regulatory issues, including the Federal Trade Commission's proposed rule for federal intervention in private standards development and product certification processes, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health-proposed limits on wood dust in the workplace, cancellation proceedings by the Environmental Protection Agency of forestry registrations for the herbicide 2,4,5-T, and Federal Communications Commission-proposed limits on radio frequency emissions which would affect wood industry gluing operations.
