§316l — Title 43 Public Lands | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary can create and run stock driveways in grazing districts and either charge for them or let people use them for free. The Secretary can also allow anyone, including prospectors and miners, to graze a small number of animals free on land inside a grazing district. The Secretary can give a free permit or lease on unallotted public land to any Eskimo, other native, or half-breed. If that native grazes by agreement on another person’s allotment, the grazing fee for that allotment must be reduced in proportion to the number of animals the native owns.
