Method of Cancellation. 



Upon receipt of notice that the applicant does not intend to pay 

 the fees or accept the permit, or if for any reason the permit is not 

 issued afterwards, the supervisor will close the case and mark the 

 card "Canceled." Where necessary, the applicant will be informed 

 at once of the action taken and the reasons for it, and a copy of the 

 letter will be forwarded to the district forester. 

 Designation and Filing. 



Applications for grazing permits will be designated by the name of 

 the applicant, initials indicating the kind of stock for which permit is 

 desired, and date of application. Approved applications, including 

 those for five-year periods, will be filed in alphabetical order in two 

 divisions, one including applications to graze cattle, horses, or swine, 

 the other applications to graze sheep and goats. Amended and sup- 

 plemental applications will be designated by the dates they bear and 

 not by the date of the original application, but will be marked 

 " Amended" or "Supplemental" to show their relation to the original 

 application. Amended and supplemental applications will be 

 recorded on the original card, Form 621, using one line of the card for 

 each transaction. 

 Card Record. 



Each approved annual or term application will be recorded upon a 

 record card, Form 621, revised, which provides for a record covering 

 a period of 10 years. The date of the fiscal agent's receipt, the 

 amount of the fee paid, and the date the permit is issued wiU be 

 entered upon the card. Refunds will be recorded by a note in the 

 "Remarks" space or on the margin of card; e.g., "Refund 1912," 

 which will refer to detailed record contained in folder. The record 

 cards, Form 621, being continuous, will be retained in the current files 

 until the case is closed, when they will be transferred to the file for 

 record cards of closed cases.
