Specifies certain regions that must have at least one Center, including northern California and eastern Oregon.

Directs the Secretaries to limit competition for special salvage timber sales and other timber-related contracts and agreements such that natural-resource related small or micro-enterprises and other specified entities receive a specified percentage of the contracts and agreements each year.
