Sec. 316g. Grazing fees

    (a) The Secretary shall determine for each lease the grazing fee to 
be paid. Such fee shall--
        (1) Be fixed on the basis of the area leased or on the basis of 
    the number and kind of stock permitted to be grazed;
        (2) Be fixed, for the period of the lease, as a seasonal or 
    annual fee, payable annually or semi-annually on the date specified 
    in the lease;
        (3) Be fixed with due regard to the general economic value of 
    the grazing privileges, and in no case shall exceed such value; and
        (4) Be moderate.

    (b) If the Secretary determines such action to be for the public 
interest by reason of (1) depletion or destruction of the range by any 
cause beyond the control of the lessee, or (2) calamity or disease 
causing wholesale destruction of or injury to livestock, he may grant an 
extension of time for making payment of any grazing fee undue any lease, 
reduce the amount of any such payment, or release or discharge the 
lessee from making such payment.
