REFUNDS. (Beg. G-6.) 



Whenever payment in excess of the amount due is itiade^ the" 

 amount overpaid will be refunded. Applications' for* 

 the refund of moneys in excess of the amount due 

 inust be accompanied by a copy of the grazing permit issued, show- 

 ing the amount received and the number of stock and grazing period 

 covered by the permit. 



All claims for refunds will be considered in accordance with Regula- 

 tion G-6. 



Applications for the refund of money paid on account of & grazing 



permit must be accompanied by a statement giviilg 



fuSd unds for re ~ the reasons for not using the permit. This may 



be either the written statement of the permittee or 



a report by a Forest officer who has looked up the case. 



Refunds will be made to a person who applies for a permit and does 

 not use it only when the nonuse is caused by some circumstance over 

 which he has no control. Unusual climatic conditions, floods, high 

 water in streams, heavy snow, etc., or infectious disease causing 

 quarantine by Federal or State authority, loss of stock caused by 

 poison, disease, railroad wrecks, or in some unusual manner are all 

 good reasons for refund. In all cases of unusual loss where it i3 

 either impracticable or impossible for the applicant to secure othetf 

 stock, a refund may be made, but if the stock: can be replaced this 1 

 should be required, as in the case where a portion of the stock has been 

 sold and removed from the range. 



An equitable portion of the grazing fees may be refunded when a 

 permittee is prevented from enjoying the full use of his range by 

 reason of trespassing stock entering upon it or on account of an error 

 by a Forest officer. 



Refunds will be made on account of stock having been sold only 



sale of stock when the preference in renewal of the permit is waived 



by the original owner to the Government and the 



purchaser is allowed a permit. In such a case the fees on the 



number of stock repermitted may be refunded to the original permittee 



on his request. 



The amount which will be refunded will not exceed the amount of 

 the fees due on the permit issued to the purchaser. The difference, 

 if any, between the amount paid on the original permit and the 

 amount due on the new permit will not be refunded. A permittee who 

 sells his stock under conditions which justify a full renewal of the 

 permit to the purchaser, and signs a waiver to its renewal to himself 

 (Form 763), is entitled to a refund of the full amount paid. If the 

 conditions justify a renewal for only 80 per cent of the number of 

 stock covered by the original permit, then 80 per cent of the original 

 payment will be refunded.
