RENEWAL OF PERMITS. (Reg. G-13.) 



A permittee with an established preference may change his resi- 

 change of resi- dence to a point more remote from the Forest without 

 dence - disqualifying for a renewal of permit, provided ho 



retains his other interests. 



A permittee having a range preference based on ranch property 



sale of ranch located in or adjacent to the National Forest may 



dispose of such ranch property without entirely 



disqualifying himself for a renewal, but unless he secures similarly 



located ranch property his classification is changed, and the renewal 



of the permit should be on the basis of the changed classification. 



A renewal of permit may be allowed for a class of stock different 

 from that previously grazed. It may require relinquishment of one 

 range and acceptance of another on some other part of the Forest. 

 The ratio of exchange will depend on the demand and the capacity 

 of the ranges in question. A permittee grazing cattle upon a heavily 

 stocked range in strong demand may be allowed to 

 stock!* 66 ln class f graze sheep on the same range on a ratio of 4 to 1. 

 If they are to be grazed on a heavily stocked sheep 

 range, the ratio should be 4 to 1. If on sheep range, but not heavily 

 stocked, the ratio should be not more than 5 to 1. If on sheep range 

 where there is surplus range available, the ratio may be as high as " 

 to 1. 



A permittee having an established preference may enter into 

 partnership agreement with another person not 

 meS rtnership agree " permittee, and secure a renewal of his permit in the 

 name of the partnership, the proportionate interest 

 transferred being subject to the rules governing the renewal of per- 

 mits to purchasers. 



A copartnership has a different legal status from that of an in- 

 ., corporated company, and in the renewal of permits

and incorporated to purchasers it is necessary to clinerentiate between 

 them. An individual permittee who enters into a 

 copartnership agreement transfers only a part of his interests, con 

 sisting of his stock or ranches, or both, to the other members of th< 

 copartnership and retains an individual interest in all or a part of 

 the stock and ranches. Any subsequent transfer of his remaining 

 interests affects the status of the copartnership as a permittee and 

 generally is readily determinable. An individual permittee who 

 transfers to an incorporated company makes a complete transfer, 

 retaining no interest in the stock or ranches, but receiving instead 

 an interest in the corporation through the medium of certain shares 

 or certificates which are readily transferable, but which do not affect 

 the status of the corporation as a permittee by their transfer. In 

 renewal of permit to a copartnership only the proportionate interest 

 transferred will be reduced in accordance with tne rules governing 

 the renewal of permits to purchasers, but in renewal of permit to a 

 corporation the reduction will apply to the full number of stock
