                    TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR
 
    CHAPTER II--BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
PART 6300--Management of Designated Wilderness Areas--Table of Contents
 
Subpart 6304--Uses Addressed in Special Provisions of the Wilderness Act
 
Sec. 6304.25  What special provisions apply to livestock grazing?

    (a) If you hold a BLM grazing permit or grazing lease for land 
within a wilderness area, you may continue to graze your livestock 
provided that you or your predecessors began such use under a permit or 
lease before Congress established the wilderness area.
    (b) Your grazing activities within wilderness areas, including the 
construction, use, and maintenance of livestock management improvements, 
must comply with the livestock grazing regulations in part 4100 of this 
chapter.
    (c) If the management plan for the area allows, you may maintain or 
reconstruct grazing support facilities that existed before designation 
of the wilderness area. BLM will not authorize new support facilities 
for the purpose of increasing your number of livestock. The construction 
of new livestock management facilities must be for the purposes of 
protection and improved management of wilderness resources.
    (d) BLM may authorize an increase in livestock numbers only if you 
demonstrate that the additional use will not have an adverse impact on 
wilderness values.
