PAYMENTS AND PERMITS. (Beg. G-5.) 



In cases where it is difficult beforehand to determine the use that can 

 be made of a privilege, permits should be issued for the 

 bi?S Z adf ance paya " established period which most closely meets the require- 

 ments of the case. Special authority may be secured 

 later for refund of the unearned portion of the fee when the circum- 

 stances warrant on the basis of the percentage of use secured by the 

 permittee. Since a refund requires the approval of the District For- 

 ester, permits must not be issued with the understanding that a refund 

 will be made. 



If an emergency requires that stock be allowed to enter the Forest 

 immediately, the District Forester may authorize the 

 si?ils. ergencyconces " Supervisor to allow the stock to enter upon evidence 

 that the fee has been forwarded to the United States 

 Depository, the permit to be issued when notice of receipt of the re- 

 mittance is received. In no case will stock be allowed to enter the For- 

 est before remittance has been made. 



The last paragraph of this Regulation should be enforced within 

 the discretion conferred by the regulation. It is not 

 ^Nonpayment of the mt ention to bar the applicant from all future use 

 of the range because he fails to pay his grazing fee for 

 one season. If he fails and his stock graze upon the Forest he 

 becomes a trespasser and may be denied a permit until he settles 

 his trespass; or, if he makes application without intending to use the 

 range but merely to hold it to the exclusion of other applicants, he 

 may be denied a permit. If his failure to make the required pay- 

 ment does not deprive others of range or necessitate a readjustment 

 of grazing allotments, it may be overlooked and need not be made 

 the grounds for a rejection of an application. 



Upon receipt of notice by the Supervisor that the

fees have been paid a permit will be issued. 



When the amount paid is less than the amount due, the Supervisor 

 will notify the applicant to remit the remainder, 

 17 ***** withholding the permit until he does so. If after a 

 reasonable time the applicant fails to remit the 

 amount due, the Supervisor may issue a permit for the number of 

 stock which the fees paid will cover. 



Grazing permits will be issued only for authorized periods, except 

 when it is necessary to shorten the period to stop damage to the 

 Forest. 



Yearlong permits will begin at the opening of the summer grazing 

 season and end on the day preceding the corresponding date of the 

 following year.
