BONDS. (Reg. 



The Supervisor may require the owners of stock to give bond to 

 insure payment for damage caused by violation of the terms of the 

 permit. The amount of the bond will be determined by the Super- 

 visor. 



Ordinarily it will be for not less than twice or more than four times 

 the amount of the grazing fee, or an amount which represents approxi- 

 mately the actual value of the forage. 



A bond may be required of a former trespasser preliminary to the 

 issuance 'of a permit, or of a permittee who has, during two successive 

 seasons, disregarded the regulations, or whose employees are inclined 

 to violate the regulations or disregard the orders of the Forest officers. 



The Supervisor will prepare the bond on Form 377, stating the 

 number and kind of stock, describing the range, and stipulating that 

 the stock will graze only on the area described. After approval by 

 the District assistant to the Solicitor, he will send it to the applicant 

 with the notice of approval of his application for execution. Upon 

 its return the Supervisor will approve it if he is satisfied with the 

 sureties. The permit will not be issued until the bond is approved. 



All bonds required in connection with grazing permits will be filed 

 in the Supervisor's office. 



PERMITS NOT TRANSFERABLE. (Reg. O-17.)

 wishes to continue to graze it on the National Forest,

 sold, an amended permit for the number of stock retained will be 

 issued to the original permittee and given the same number. No 

 transfer of fees on the record is necessary in such cases. (For con- 

 ditions governing the renewal of such permits the following season,
