THE USE BOOK. 125 



The amendment of an application, reducing the num- 

 ber of stock for which it has been approved, will not 

 bo allowed except when the shortage is caused by cir- 

 cumstances over which the applicant has no control. 

 In case the total number of stock authorized to graze 

 upon the Forest has not been applied for, amended or 

 supplemental applications, increasing the number of 

 stock for which permit will be given, may be approved 

 with the understanding that no permanent range rights 

 are necessarily allowed for the increased number of 

 stock. 



Amended applications increasing or reducing the number of 

 stock before the issuance of the permit will be given the same 

 number as the original, but when a second application is made 

 subsequent to the issuance of the first permit it will be given 

 a new number in the regular serial order and a cross reference 

 made on the folder. 



Whenever the range used by an applicant for a grazing 

 permit is located in two adjoining National Forests, and it is 

 not practicable to divide the stock, upon mutual agreement 

 between the supervisors the permit may be issued for the 

 National Forest within which the greater portion of the range 

 is located, and with the understanding that it allows the 

 stock to be grazed upon both National Forests. 



Whenever any special action is taken in the approval of an 

 application or the issuance of a permit, an explanatory note will 

 be made on the lower left-hand corner of the blank. 



Applications will not be numbered until they have been acted 

 upon, and those which are disapproved will not be included in 

 the numbered series. Disapproved applications will be filed 

 alphabetically under a separate guide card. 



Applications for the use of private lands or for crossing per- 

 mits will not be included in the numbered series, and will be filed 

 alphabetically under a separate guide card placed behind the 

 applications for regular permits.
