no control. Unusual climatic conditions, floods, high water in streams, heavy 

 snow, etc., or infections disease causing quarantine by Federal or State author- 

 ity, loss of stock caused by poison, disease, railroad wrecks, or in some unusual 

 manner are valid reasons for refund. In all csi&es of unusual loss where it is 

 either impracticable or impossible for the applicant to secure other stock a 

 refund may be made, but if the stock can be replaced this will be required. 



Loss of range through trespass or error. 



An equitable portion of the grazing fees may be refunded when a permittee 

 is prevented from enjoying the full use of his range by reason of trespassing 

 stock entering upon it or on account of an error by a Forest officer. 



Sale of stock. 



Refunds will be made on account of stock having been sold only when the 

 preference in renewal of the permit is waived by the original owner to the 

 Government and the purchaser is allowed a permit. In such a case the fees 

 on the number of stock repermitted may be refunded to the original permittee 

 on his request. 



The amount which will be refunded will not exceed the amount of the fees 

 due on the permit issued to the purchaser. The difference, if any, between 

 the amount paid on the original permit and the amount due on the new permit 

 will not be refunded. A permittee who sells his stock under conditions which 

 justify a full renewal of the permit to the purchaser, and signs a waiver to its 

 renewal to himself, is entitled to a refund of the full amount paid. If the 

 conditions justify a renewal for only SO per cent of the number of stock covered 

 by the original permit, then 80 per cent of the original payment will be 

 refunded. 



Failure to purchase stock. 



Persons who make application to graze stock which they do not own but 

 Intend to purchase will not be entitled to a refund because they fail to secure 

 the stock or change their plans. Tliey may, however, place stock upon the range 

 at any time during the period allowed by the permit.

FINAL DATE FOR RECEIPT OF APPLICATIONS. 



Applications must be received, range allotments made, and permits issued 

 before the beginning of the grazing season. This necessitates fixing a date 

 sufficiently far in advance to enable the supervisor to complete the work of
