Assessment of the availability of timber for Wood Based Industrial Units:(i) The quantity of timber likely to be available for utilization of Wood BasedIndustries of different types in a State/UT shall be assessed as by commissioningstudy, preferably in collaboration with institutes! universities of repute, once infive years. The study will take into account the following:- : (a) The quantity of such raw material that may be sustainably harvested from theforest areas as per the working plans!working schemes! management plans dulyapproved by the competent authorities.(b) The quantity of such raw material that is vailablefrom the trees outsideforest areas, including the private plantations, agro-forestry plantations andplantations raised on non-forest government lands etc.(c) Net inter -state import of such timber; and(d) Net international impoli of such timber.6. Estimated annual consumption of timber by wood based industries. (i) Forthe purpose of assessing the timber requirement of the Saw mills, they may bedivided illto (a) Saw mills upto 10 HP (b) Saw mills between 10 and 20 HP (c)Saw mills between 20 HP to 40 HP (d) Saw mills between 40 to 60 HP and (e)Saw mills above 60 HP.The annual requirement of round log for Saw mills of different capacities may befixed by the committee based011the technical data or as per the formula givenbelow(a)Saw mills of 10 HP and below: 540 cu.mt. (base value)(b)Saw mills between 10 to 20 HP: 810 cu.mt. (1.5 time the base value)5
(c)Saw mills between 20 to 40 HP 1080 cU.mt. (2 times of the base value)(d)Saw mills between 40 to 60 HP 1620 cU.mt. (3 times of the base value)(e)Saw mills above 60 HP 2160 cU.mt.

Restriction on location of wood based industries.(i) In the North Eastern States of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur,Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim the wood based industriesshall be permitted to be established within the industrial estates.(ii) In the States other than the afore-mentioned North Eastern States, wood basedindustries shall ordinarily be not allowed to be established within ten kilometersaerial distance from the boundary of nearest notified forests and protected areas.The State Level Committee for the reasons to be recorded in writing and afterobtaining prior approval of the Central Government in the Ministry ofEnvirollment, Forest and Climate Change may permit to establish/operate a woodbased industry at an aerial distance less than 10 kilometers from the boundary ofa notified forest or a protected area.8. Grant, renewal and revocation of a license to a wood based industry:0) No license to a wood based industrial unit shall be granted or renewed withoutobtaining prior approval ofthe State Level Committee.(ii) No wood based industrial unit shall be established! operate in a State exceptunder and in accordance with the license granted by an officer authorized by theState Government in this regard (Preferably DCF!DFO or equivalent).(iii) The State Level Committee may maintain a separate list of wood basedindustries working solely on the timber imported from international market. Thelicense to such industries shall specifically contain a condition to the effect thatsuch units shall not be allowed to use timber produced in country. If in future,the said units want to use timber produced in the country on account of abundantavailability they will seek specific pennission from SLC to do so.6
The SLC will ensure that the interests of the units using domestic produce areprotected. Fresh licenses can be granted by the Committee for units which operatesolely on imported raw material irrespective of the result of wood availabilityassessment in the State/UT.(iv) The license granted to a wood based industry shall remain valid for fiveyears, from the date of such issue or renewal of License. However,notwithstanding anything contained in these guidelines, the Licensing Authoritymay, where there are reasons to believe that the Licensee is operating the woodbased industry in contravention of the provisions of these guidelines or conditionsof License or any Rules framed by the State Government or is in activitiesprejudicial to the interest of forest conservation or public interest, at any time aftergiving one month notice, revoke the license granted to such wood based industry.(v) Application for renewal of license granted to a wood based industrial unitshall be made atleast three (3) months before the expiry of validity period.(vi) Transfer of license on sale/succession etc shall be done only with theapproval of State Level Committee.9. Appeal against the decision of the State Level Committee.(i) Any person aggrieved by any decision taken by the State Level Committeemay file an appeal before the concerned Regional Office of the CentralGovernment in the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change seekingappropriate relief within 60 days' time.(ii) Head of Regional Office shall within 60 days of filing the appeal pass theappropriate Order.(iii) If, for any reason, any person is aggrieved by the orders so passed in theappeal,he may prefer an appropriate petition/application/appeal to theDGF&SS/MoEF&CC.7

Annexure IAssessment of Timber RequirementThe Indian Plywood Industry Research and Training Institute (IPIRTI), Bangalorean autonomous body under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and ClimateChange has assessed the timber requirement per unit for peeling length of 4 feetand 8 feet size in the plywood/veneer units as 5 eU.mt. and 11 cU.mt. respectivelyper day on an average of 8 working hours per day. By assuming that the peelingunits work for 8 hours per day on an average for 300 days in a year the normaltimber requirement of the peeling length of 4 feet size in veneer units is 1500cU.mt. The total timber requirement for the stand alone veneer units may beassessed by calculating the equivalent number of 4 feet length machines and bytaking its normal installed capacity as 1500 eu.mt. per annum.The timber requirement of a plywood unit may be taken as 'nil' on the ground thatthe round timber is used as timber in the veneer units only and that the plywoodunits are the secondary users which use the veneer as the raw material producedby the veneer units. The plywood units use presses of various sizes such as 8x4x6,8x4x12, 8x4x15, 4x4x7, 4x4x1O. A 8x4xlO capacity press can produce upto 10plywood pieces of 8'x4' size per hour whereas a 8x4xl5 capacity press canproduce upto 15 plywood pieces of 8'x4' size per hour and so on. The normativeinstalled capacity of the plywood units will accordingly depend upon the numberand the type of presses. This number and type of presses installed in each of theplywood unit may be assessed and thereafter equivalent number or presses of8x4x 10 capacity may be calculated. The normative annual timber requirement fora integrated plywood unit having a 8 x 4 x 10 capacity press may be taken as 2000eU.mt. per annum, and accordingly the total requirement of timber for theplywood units should be calculated.*********9
