52 NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL GRAZING. 



whose classification is fixed need only assert ownership of the number 

 of stock for which permit is desired, unless application is made to 

 graze an increased number of stock, when the total number owned 

 must be stated. 

 Stock to be Purchased. 



When applications for permits are made to graze stock which it is 

 intended to purchase, a statement to that effect will be made on the 

 application blank. 

 Supplemental Applications. 



In case the applications have not reached the total number of stock 

 authorized to graze upon the Forest, supplemental applications may 

 be approved with the understanding that no permanent range equities 

 accrue for the increase. This understanding should be made a matter 

 of positive record so that it will not be overlooked in subsequent allot- 

 ments. 

 Applications for Term. Permits. 



When authorized by the Secretary of Agriculture, applications may 

 be approved for permits during a term of not more than five years. A 

 term of five years having been established, applications received sub- 

 sequent to the initial year will be approved for the unexpired portion 

 of the term, four, three, or two years, as the case may be, so that all 

 term applications will expire simultaneously. The permits will be 

 issued and the grazing fees paid annually on the number of stock for 

 which the application is approved. 



Applications for term permits will be canceled for failure to pay the 

 grazing fees for any one year, or for failure to use the range for more 

 than one year unless unusual circumstances exist. 

 Method of Approval. 



The supervisor will immediately notify the applicant on the 

 approval of his application by a letter of transmit tai (Form 861-G) 

 showing the number of stock for which the application has been 

 approved, the period, and the fees to be paid. Any unusual condi- 

 tions may be noted on the form. Whenever an amendment or a cor- 

 rection is made, or a supplemental application is approved, the 

 notice will be marked ''Amended," "Corrected," or "Supplemental," 

 etc. A duplicate of each Form 861-G issued will be sent to the dis- 

 trict forester at once and a triplicate filed in the supervisor's office. 



Form 861-G for term permits will designate the year for which 

 payment is to be made, thus: "Five-year period, first year." 

 District Office File and Check. 



As duplicate notices of approval are received in the district office 

 they will be examined and filed alphabetically under forest guides. 



The district forester will require such check to be made of grazing 

 receipts as is necessary for a proper audit. 

 Method of Disapproval. 



When a grazing application is either wholly or partially disap- 

 proved, the supervisor will notify the applicant by letter, giving the 

 reasons for his action, and will send a copy of the letter to the district 

 forester. The letter must furnish the applicant with adequate and 

 conclusive reasons for the disapproval of his application, while the 

 carbon furnishes the district forester with the same information. It 

 must assure both the applicant and the district forester that the 

 application has received proper consideration.
