Regulation G-7, page 10, of the National Forest Manual, 1911, 

 Grazing, issued by the Secretary of Agriculture on March 18, 1911, 

 to take effect May 1, 1911, is hereby modified and amended to read 

 and to provide as follows: 



Grazing permits will be issued only to persons entitled to share in 

 the use of the range within National Forests by virtue of prior use 

 and occupancy of National Forest lands for grazing purposes; or 

 by local residence, ownership of improved ranch property within or 

 near the forest, and dependence upon the range; or by the acquisi- 

 tion of stock grazed upon National Forest lands under permit and 

 of improved ranch property used in connection with the stock, under 

 circumstances which warrant an entire or partial renewal of the 

 permit issued to the former owner, except when there is surplus 

 range, in which case temporary permits may be issued to owners 

 of transient stock. 



Nonuse of a range during one year, except as authorized by the 

 instructions of the Forester, will be sufficient grounds for the denial 

 of grazing privileges. 



Done at Washington this 20th day of January, 1912. 



Witness my hand and the seal of the Department of Agriculture.

Secretary of Agriculture.
