NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL GRAZING. 71 



unless it is intended that the permittee shall occupy the entire unit. 

 A person holding a permit allowing him to graze his stock "upon 

 range to be designated by the ranger in charge" may, without fear 

 of successful prosecution, occupy any part of the Forest until through 

 the designation of his range in a plain and unmistakable manner ms 

 permit becomes limited in its scope. If the space on the face of the 

 permit is insufficient the range description may be written upon the 

 back. A grazing permit is a business agreement, presumed to mean 

 just what it states, and it will be so regarded in cases of trespass, con- 

 sequently it should be carefully prepared. 



Map to Accompany Permit. 



The practice of furnishing each grazing permittee with a small 

 blue-print map showing his own and the adjoining range allotments 

 is one which should be followed where the boundaries of individual 

 allotments do not conform to readily describable topographic features 

 or are not adequately marked with posters (Form 222). 



Permits Do Not Authorize Grazing on Private Land. 



Persons holding permits for ranges which embrace patented lands 

 or valid claims under the homestead and mineral laws should, if 

 necessary, be warned that the permits issued by the Forest Service 

 do not grant authority to graze stock upon any except National 

 Forest lands and that the use of private lands and valid claims must 

 be with the consent of the owner or claimant. 



The Government is not responsible for the intrusion of permitted 

 stock upon private lands. Controversies between the owner of the 

 stock and the owner of the land must be settled in the State courts 

 under the State laws. 



Review of Permits. 



The district forester may, in his discretion, require copies of per- 

 mits issued to be sent to him for review. 



CANCELLATION OB REVOCATION OF PERMIT. (Reg. G-20.) 



Cancellation. 



Cancellation requires the consent of the permittee and the surrender 

 of the permit. Reference to the district office is not necessary unless 

 by some unusual circumstance the permit was authorized or issued 

 by the district forester. The officer canceling the permit will assure 

 himself that the permittee will not be relieved of any existing obliga- 

 tion and that the cancellation of the permit will not be inimical to the 

 best interests of the Government. A brief memorandum of the rea- 

 sons for the action will be prepared and filed with the canceled 

 permit . 



Revocation. 



A permit may be revoked without the consent of the permittee or 

 surrender of the permit. 



The permittee will be advised of the reasons rendering necessary 

 the revocation of permit, and will be allowed a reasonable tune within 

 which to show cause why the permit should not be revoked. This 

 notification must be by personal service or registered mail. 



Upon receipt of a statement from the permittee, or after the expi- 

 ration of the time limit established, the issuing officer will prepare a 

 report to his official superior to whom he will transmit the entire 

 record of the case.
