             MATTER OF:    Ritch Associates


             DIGEST:


                   Claim for compensation for
                   cancellation of Taylor Grazing
                   Act, 43 U.S.C. § 315 (1976),
                   grazing privileges is denied,
                   since Army intended portion of
                   payments under lease and suspen-
                   sion agreements preceding present
                   condemned leasehold as full com-
                   pensation for cancellation of
                   grazing permit.


                   Mr. William G. Ritch, as agent for Ritch
              Associates (Ritch), an unincorporated association,
              has filed a E'laim wtG           for compensation
              for t-h,(-loss of grazing privilegeson certain lands,
              now a part of the White Sands Missile Range, New
              Mexico, in which the Federal Government has condemned
              a leasehold.

                   This claim is for the loss of grazing privileges
              on these lands for the period of July 1, 1970, through
              June 30, 1980. In our decision, Ritch Associates,
              B-181236, October 20, 1977, 77-2 CPD 308, we denied
              a claim for the loss of grazing privileges on these
              lands for the period ending June 30, 1970. We reach
              the same result here.

                   The lands on which Ritch bases its claim include
              Federal grazing lands previously used by Ritch. The
              Army has continuously occupied the premises since
              1942. Before the Government occupied the premises,
              Ritch held a permit under the Taylor Grazing Act,
              43 U.S.C. § 315 (1976), for the use of the Federal
              lands in question. Until 1970, the Army held the
              lands under a series of lease and suspension agree-
              ments providing for an annual payment to the owners.
