Secretary: I have your letter of April 34, 1943, as follam: For the occupany and use of National Forest land for the con- aruction, operation and aistenance of eleotric power tranandesion lines, the Forest Service grants revocable perite and the Depart- ment grants eaAntse Also, acting uer the provisions of the Federa Power Act, th Departnt prescribes certain conditions deemd neesary for the adequate protection and utilisation of the National Foresta; such conditions are made a part of the license . granted by the Federal Power Comission. The transmission lines through setting up induction often interfere with the proper functioning of telaphone lines or radio instalstions constructed by the Forest Service from its appropri- ation or of private facilities utilised by the Forest service in adanistering the National Forests or other land under its juris- diction. Uemoval of the indctie interferene could be acoomplished (a) by relocation or alteration of the perdtted structure (b) through relocation of the Governaant-owned facility, or (oS in some cases by reconstruction or alteration of the Goverment facility, such as converting a ground circuit telephone line into a mtaflto airondt line. In mny cases the Goverent facility is in existence before issuance of permit covering the permitted structure, but occaionally a Governmat telephoe line or other facility is com* atrated suewquent to issuance of permit and/or construction there- under. The coat of relocation or reconstruction of the Governmnt atructure my be many times the annual revenue from the peradtted structure; for exampe, the charge for a permit authorising the occupancy and use of national forest land for a transmission line may be 4 15 .00 a year and the relocation or reconstruction of the Government facility with which it interferes may cost 300. For som permits, such as those to ;ooperative organizations of farmers for transmission lines, no charge is made, although construction of the permdtted line may necessitate a substantial expenditure either tWGrent-or-byhe-permitteeocorrect-itef ee the Government facility caused by the transmission line. In all cases of license, a rental charge is made.
