NOTIFICATION OF APPLICANTS. (Reg. G-9.) 



All persons who held permits during the previous year will be 

 notified by postal card (Form 153) of the date upon which applica- 

 tions for grazing permits must be filed with the Supervisor. 



Applications must be received, range allotments made, and per- 

 mits issued before the beginning of the grazing season. This necessi- 

 tates fixing a date sufficiently far in advance to enable the Supervisor 

 to complete the work of issuing the permits. The date having been 

 widely published, it will be assumed that the applications on file that 

 day represent all the users of the Forest range entitled to considera- 

 tion, and the Supervisor mav proceed to allot the grazing privileges. 

 The applications having been acted upon and the 

 ^ Action on appiica- not i c es of approval forwarded, no changes will be 

 made to accommodate persons who failed to file their 

 applications in time, unless their failure was caused by circumstances 

 which, in the Supervisor's opinion, warrant a readjustment of range 

 allotments. Negligence or failure to exercise ordinary diligence will 

 not be considered a satisfactory reason for the acceptance of an 

 application after the date set. 



In case the total number of any kind of stock applied for before 

 the date which has been set does not equal the number authorized 

 to graze on the Forest, applications may be approved at any time 

 until this figure has been reached. 



Supervisors should acknowledge the receipt of applications by 

 postal card. (Form 303.) 



Supervisors must not notify applicants of the approval of their 

 applications before the date set for their consideration.
