Sec.  3503.32  How should I describe acquired lands?



    You may describe acquired lands by metes and bounds, or you may also 

use the description shown on the deed or other document that conveyed 

title to the United States. If you are applying for less than the entire 

tract acquired by the United States, describe the land using courses and 

distances tied to a point on the boundary of the requested tract. Where 

the acquiring agency assigned a tract number to the identical tract you 

wish to permit or lease, you may describe those lands by the tract 

number and include a map which clearly shows the lands with respect to 

the administrative unit or the project of which they are a part. In 

States outside of the public land survey system, you should describe the 

lands by tract number, and include a map.
