CHAPTER – ZERO CODE
2230 – Permit Preparation
Steps in processing a new Grazing Permit:
1. Pre-application consultation between district and prospective applicant. Discuss proposed use
and conformity with Forest Plan standards, laws, regulations and policy.
2. Proponent submits a completed application (FS-2200-16). District will assist applicant as
needed, but applicant has the primary responsibility for preparing the application.
3. District completes application in Section B. If the request is for Term Use (10 years), District
Ranger recommends approval in item 1. (Forest Supervisor approves.)
4. District prepares the Term Permit and submits along with completed application to the Forest
Supervisor for review and approval.
5. Permit is forwarded to permittee for signature. Permit is returned to SO for Forest Supervisor
signature.
6. Issuing district forwards signed permits to permittee and administers permit.
The process above represents a Forest Supervisor authority permit; Districts should follow the same
procedure (with minor adjustments) for District Ranger authority permits.
