68 NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL GRAZING. 



Temporary Permit to Involuntary Purchaser. 



A temporary permit, effective during one season only and not sub- 

 ject to renewal, may be granted the purchaser of stock through a 

 forced sale (a) when there is surplus range which may be used without 

 undue interference with other permittees, (&) when the original per- 

 mittee, while retaining his grazing preference and intending to place 

 stock on the range after the expiration of one year, does not intend to 

 replace the mortgaged stock during the season following the fore- 

 closure. 



Renewal in Case of Involuntary Purchase. 



When the original owner has signed a waiver- (Form 763) the pur- 

 chaser of stock obtained by a forced sale may be allowed a full renewal 

 of permit for the following season, with the understanding that at the 

 beginning of the second year the reductions required by the regula- 

 tions will be imposed and the rules in reference to the issuance of 

 permits to purchasers of permitted stock will be strictly enforced. 



If the stock is sold to a second purchaser during the year in which 

 a full renewal is allowed the regular reduction will be made in the 

 renewal of the permit during the following season. 



PERMITS TO NEW OWNERS. (Reg. G-19.) 



Applications Six Months in Adva*nce. 



Applications from new settlers or beginners for grazing privileges 

 on Forests or grazing districts which are fully occupied will not be 

 considered unless filed with the supervisor at least six months before 

 the beginning of the yearlong grazing season. 



A reduction will be necessary, and proper notification should be 

 given the other users of the Forest as soon as possible in order that 

 they can adjust their business to meet it without loss. 

 Limited to 3 Per Cent. 



When the range is fully occupied, the total number of stock allowed 

 beginners in any one year plus increases to small owners must not 

 exceed 3 per cent of the total allowance for the Forest or grazing 

 district. 

 Maximum Reduction to Provide Range. 



The application of beginners will not be approved in any case 

 where this will necessitate a reduction in the renewal of any permit 

 issued for the previous year which when combined with all reductions 

 for other purposes will in any one year amount to more than 10 per 

 cent of the permit of an owner of improved ranch property commen- 

 surate with the permitted stock or 20 per cent of the permit of a 

 regular user not owning such property. 

 Preference to Citizens of State. 



If all other conditions are equal new applicants who reside within 

 the State in which a Forest is located will be given a preference over 

 applicants who reside in adjoining States. 

 When Not Allowed. 



New applicants will not be granted permits to graze stock within 

 any Forest or part thereof where the average number of stock per 

 permit is less than 80 per cent of the protective limit number. Where 

 this condition exists the further division of grazing privileges among 

 a larger number of persons is a hardship upon persons already holding
