UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON : 1959 A compilation of Decisions of the Department of the Interior, 1936; to 1958, in cases arising under the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, as amended, and the Federal Range Code for Grazing Districts. PREFACE This publication is a compilation of decisions of the Department of the Interior in cases arising under the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, as amended (43 U.S.C., sections 315-315r), and the Federal Range Code for Grazing Districts (Title 43, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 161.) The compilation brings together the Department's decisions in cases arising under the foregoing authorities from enactment of the Taylor Grazing Act through 1958. Most of the decisions have not been previously published. Through this compilation they are being made available to all Department and Bureau offices, and others concerned with administration of the Taylor Grazing Act. As an aid to users of the compilation, an index-digest of the decisions has been included. The subject-matter headings under which the decisions have been indexed are more numerous and specific than those used in the index-digest included in the annual volumes of the Decisions of the Department of the Interior. The Taylor Grazing Act and the Department's related regulations have been amended or modified from time to time. Therefore, some of the rulings and principles contained in the compiled decisions may not be applicable under the current law and regulations. This compilation may be cited as "Interior Grazing Decisions," or "IGD -". Some of the compiled decisions were previously reported in the Decisions of the Department of the Interior. These are so noted and should continue to be cited by the volume and page of the Interior Decisions where they appear (e.g. I.D.). No supplements to this compilation are planned. Decisions and opinions of the Department are available, as they are rendered, to all Department and Bureau offices and to the public. Decisions and opinions appearing in the annual volumes of Interior Decisions (i.e., the "I.D." series) are published and copies may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C. Copies of unpublished decisions and opinions may be obtained from the Office of the Solicitor, U.S. Department of the Interior, Washington, 25 D.C. Raved Hadlay Director, Bureau of Land Management. |
