Grazing. Paragraph 4 of the Instructions, on page 39, designated 

 " Indictment," is hereby amended to read as follows : 



Except in cases where renewal of permit is considered by the dis- 

 trict assistant to the solicitor or the United States attorney to be pre- 

 judicial, a person who has been charged with or indicted for any 

 form of trespass on National Forest land, or for timber or land frauds 

 against the Government will, pending the settlement or adjudication 

 of his case, be allowed the renewal of any permit to which he is 

 otherwise entitled by reason of previous use under permit or the pur- 

 chase of permitted stock under conditions warranting renewal, but 

 such a person will not be recognized as a new applicant or granted 

 privileges to which he is not entitled because of prior use or the pur- 

 chase of permitted stock until the charge or suit against him has been 

 adjusted. When necessary to protect the interests of the Government 

 the person charged with or indicted for trespass or fraud against the 

 Government may be required to furnish a bond, to insure future com- 

 pliance with the regulations, before permit will be issued, the bond 

 to be in a sum determined by the supervisor and approved by the 

 district forester.
