43 U.S.C. § 316d — Notice of establishment and alteration of grazing district; hearings

This section tells the Secretary how to notify the public before creating or changing a grazing district. Before establishing a new district, or altering an existing one, the Secretary must publish a notice. The notice must run once a week for six weeks in a row. It must appear in a newspaper with general circulation in each judicial division where the district sits. The notice must describe the boundaries of the proposed district or the proposed change. It must announce the date the Secretary plans to establish the district or make the alteration. It must also give the location and date of any required hearings. If the Secretary wants to alter a district, the alteration cannot happen right away. Public hearings must be held first, in every judicial division touched by the change. Those hearings must happen after the notice has been published.
