UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, 

 FOREST SERVICE. 



THE NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL. 



AMENDMENT NO, 154 INSTRUCTIONS. 



DECEMBER 17, 1912. 



Special Uses. The Instructions given in Amendment No. 128 are 

 hereby revoked, and paragraph 3 of the Instructions on page 9 is 

 hereby amended to read as follows: 



Upon receipt of an application the supervisor will require from 

 the ranger a report on Form 964. except in cases involving the free 

 occupancy and use for agricultural purposes of lands which have 

 been examined and favorably reported on under the act of June 11, 

 1906, in which case the settlement report and map will be deemed 

 sufficient, but a reference to it should be made in the special-use case. 

 The report on Form 964 shall in each instance include a map either 

 on the form or on a separate sheet. When the use involves the cut- 

 ting or destruction of timber a report should also be made on Form 

 578b. This report may be made at the time the report is made on 

 Form 964, or subsequently, as the supervisor shall determine, but 

 in any event before such cutting or destruction begins. Conflicts 

 will be determined by field examination rather than from the record 

 and maps.
