or such other Forest officer as he may designate, before 

 entering the National Forest. The application must state 

 the number of stock to be driven, the date of starting, and 

 period required for passage. Grazing must be confined 

 to the limits and along the route designated by the Forest 

 officers, and will only be allowed for the period actually 

 necessary for stock to cross the National Forest. 



Permits will not be required for driving small bands o^ 

 stock along public highways, or when the stock will not be 

 grazed upon National Forest lands en route. 



Whenever it appears necessary for stock to cross regularly 

 any portion of a National Forest in which grazing is prohibited, 

 the supervisor will make a full report of the facts, with a de- 

 scription of the regular route traveled, the width of driveway 

 necessary to allow the proper grazing of stock across the Na- 

 tional Forest, the number and class of stock which will probably 

 cross, and the number of days required for crossing. Upon 

 receipt of such report by the Forester, if the circumstances war- 

 rant such action, a regular driveway will be established and 

 the rights to be granted will be defined. Permits will be re- 

 quired for stock crossing the Forest on a regular driveway. 



If occasion demands, rangers will be detailed by the super- 

 visor to accompany the stock and see that there is no delay or 

 trespassing. 



No charge will be made for crossing permits issued under the 

 above regulation. When a permit is desired for crossing the 

 forest with stock at regular intervals during an entire grazing 

 season under conditions which warrant the charging of a graz- 

 ing fee, the permit will be issued under Regulation 54, and will 

 be included in the regular numbered series. 



Crossing permits will be issued in triplicate, one copy deliv- 

 ered to the applicant, one copy retained by the Forest officer 

 issuing it, and one copy filed in the office of the supervisor. 

 At the end of each fiscal year the supervisor will make a report 

 to the Forester showing the number of crossing permits issued
