transferred, even though the original permittee acquires and retains 

 an interest in the corporation equivalent to his original interest in the 

 stock grazed under his individual permit. 



In the renewal of a permit held by a partnership to the individual 



ivision of outfits mem ^ ers > ^ ne same reductions will be made on the 

 total number of stock grazed the previous year as 

 would have been made on the original permit, each renewed permit 

 bearing its pro rata share of such reduction. The stockholders of a 

 corporation which has dissolved may be allowed a renewal of permit 

 under the rules governing renewal of permits to purchasers. 



No division will be allowed when the number covered by the original 

 permit is less than the protective limit. In case the number exceeds 

 the protective limit, a division may be allowed, provided that not 

 more than one new owner secures a permit for less than the protec- 

 tive limit number of stock. 



Partnership ordinarily means joint ownership of the stock and 



Dissolution of ranches, and the renewal to each member depends 



partnership. upon the division of each that is made. Signed 



agreements showing this division may be required by the Supervisor. 



A renewal on the division of stock and ranches may give a member 

 preference in the range for a certain number of stock, but it does not 

 define his status or whether he is in class A, B, or C. 



In order to prevent speculation, when a Forest is fully stocked, 



Renewals to pur- renewal of permit will not be allowed a purchaser of 



chasers - permitted stock if the original permittee has used 



the range less than three years. This rule will also apply when the 



permittee who proposes to sell is a member of a partnership. 



If a permittee is bought out by several purchasers, division of the 

 privileges among them will not be allowed when the number of stock 

 is less than the protective limit. In case the number exceeds the pro- 

 tective limit, division may be made if not more than one new owner 

 is allowed a renewal of permit for less than the protective limit. 



All permits issued to purchasers of permitted stock are subject to 

 any reductions that would have been made in the original permit. 



When stock is sold after the application for a grazing permit has 

 been approved and prior to the beginning of the grazing period, the 

 application of the purchaser may be approved upon his merits, sub- 

 ject to the reductions governing the issue of permits to the purchasers 

 of stock. 



The mere purchase of stock will not entitle the purchaser to share 

 Purchase of stock in the grazing privileges during the following year 

 only - unless he is otherwise qualified. 



When the purchaser already owns ranch property commensurate 

 with and so located that it will be used in connection with the stock, 

 a renewal of the permit may be allowed for not to exceed 80 per cent 

 of the original permit. When the number purchased is less than 

 the protective limit, no reduction will be made if the purchaser has 

 the qualifications of a class A applicant. 



This reduction prevents speculation in National Forest range, and 

 provides for new applicants. 



When both the stock and ranches are purchased, a renewal may 



Purchase of stock be allowed the purchaser with any reduction that 

 would have been made in the original permit.
