1024 - SECRETARY'S ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS. The regional Office of the General
Counsel gave an opinion that the Multiple Use-Sustained Yield Act of June 12, 1960, does not
apply to the National Grasslands, since it is specifically concerned with the National Forests.
This is not a deterrent to multiple use management on the National Grasslands since Secretary's
Administrative Order of June 23, 1960, directs that these lands will be managed under the
principles of multiple use and sustained yield.
The Multiple Use-Sustained Yield Act of June 12, 1960, and the Secretary's Administrative
Order of June 23, 1960, use the same language and terminology for administrative management
direction.
Secretary's Administrative Order of June 23, 1960, (36 CFR 213) was amended by Secretary's
Administrative Order of June 19, 1963, (28 FR 6268) as found in FSM 1024. It stresses the
original intent of the Bankhead-Jones Act and emphasizes the guiding philosophy of National
Grassland administration.
