R850-50-300. Applications

  1. Grazing permit applications may be accepted on all trust lands not otherwise subject to a grazing permit unless the land has been withdrawn from grazing or has been determined to be unsuitable for grazing.

  2. Trust lands may be deemed unsuitable for grazing if it is determined that:

  (a) range conditions render it incapable of supporting economic grazing practices;

  (b) grazing would substantially interfere with another use that is better able to provide for the support of the beneficiaries; or

  (c) the agency's management costs would be excessive.

  3. The determination to accept grazing permit applications is at the sole discretion of the director.
