submitted 99 years ago by ch. 513 to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 102 words · no verdicts yet
The Secretary of the Interior can create grazing districts in Alaska on certain public lands. These districts can group scattered land areas together as one unit. Once a district exists, the Secretary can lease grazing rights within it.
(a) The Secretary* may create grazing districts on public lands that are outside the Aleutian Islands Reservation, outside national forests and other lands the Secretary of Agriculture manages, and outside national parks and monuments — as long as the Secretary thinks the land is valuable for grazing livestock. These districts can combine surveyed and unsurveyed land into whatever areas the Secretary decides can be conveniently managed as one unit, even if the pieces are not touching or next to each other.
(b) Once the Secretary has created a district*, the Secretary may lease the grazing rights inside it, following the rules of this subchapter.
The Secretary* may establish grazing districts upon any public lands outside of the Aleutian Islands Reservation, national forests, and other reservations administered by the Secretary of Agriculture and outside of national parks and monuments which, in his opinion, are valuable for the grazing of livestock. Such districts may include such areas of surveyed and unsurveyed lands as he determines may be conveniently administered as a unit, even if such areas are neither contiguous nor adjacent.
The Secretary, after the establishment of a district*, is authorized to lease the grazing privileges therein in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter.1
