 visor shall be considered final unless written request for a recon- 

 sideration of the case is filed with the Supervisor within 10 days

 The decision of the District Forester, under this or the foregoing 

 regulation, shall be considered final unless written notice of appeal 

 to the Forester is filed with the District Forester within 10 days 

 from the receipt of his decision. Appeal may also be taken to the 

 Secretary of Agriculture from adverse decisions of the Forester and

 from notice of the decision of the Forester. Appeal under this or 

 the foregoing regulation to the District Forester, the Forester, or the 

 Secretary of Agriculture will avail only when it is shown by the 

 evidence submitted that the decision is not warranted by the facts 

 or is contrary to the grazing regulations or the instructions covering 

 the allotment of grazing privileges. 



BONDS. 



Reg. G-16. Whenever it is necessary for the protection of a 

 National Forest, or of the interests dependent upon it, the Supervisor 

 may require the owners of transient stock, or nonresidents of the 

 State or Territory in which the National Forest is located, or persons 

 who have persistently violated the regulations of the Secretary of 

 Agriculture to give good and sufficient bond to insure payment for 

 all damage sustained by the Government through violation of the 

 regulations or the terms of the permit. 



PERMITS NOT TRANSFERABLE. 



Reg. G-17. Permits will be granted only for the exclusive use and 

 benefit of the owners of the stock, and will be forfeited if sold or 

 transferred in any manner or for any consideration. If stock grazed 

 under permit is sold during the term of the permit the original permit 

 must be surrendered to the Supervisor, who upon receipt of evidence 

 that the sale is bona fide will cancel the original permit and will 

 issue, free of charge, an amended permit to the original permittee 

 for the number of stock retained and a permit to the purchaser for 

 the number of stock purchased, which will allow the grazing of such 

 stock upon the National Forest during the remainder of the permit 

 period. Action upon the application of the purchaser in subsequent 

 permit allotments will be in accordance with the regulations and 

 instructions governing the renewal of permits to purchasers.
