What US Taylor Grazing Act (43 USC ch 8A): Grazing Districts and Permits on Public Lands requires
The Taylor Grazing Act (43 U.S.C. ch. 8A, sections 315 to 316o) authorizes the regulation of livestock grazing on the federal public lands of the United States and is administered by the Secretary of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management. Section 315 authorizes the Secretary to establish grazing districts of vacant, unappropriated, and unreserved lands of the public domain that are chiefly valuable for grazing and the raising of forage crops, subject to the recognition of valid prior rights and the reservation of rights-of-way. Section 315a directs the Secretary to provide for the protection, administration, regulation, and improvement of the grazing districts and to make rules to accomplish the purposes of the Act and to ensure the orderly use of the range. Section 315b authorizes the Secretary to issue grazing permits to settlers, residents, and other stock owners upon the payment annually of reasonable fees, with a permit not to exceed a period of ten years, and preserves vested water rights. Section 315i provides for the distribution to the States of 12 and one half per centum of the grazing fees collected within their boundaries. The Act ended the unregulated use of the western range, established the permit system that remains the basis of public-land grazing, and is a foundational statute of United States rangeland management.
