A person or party who wishes to protest an official filing of a plat of survey identified earlier must file a written notice of protest with the BLM Chief Cadastral Surveyor for North Dakota at the address listed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. The notice of protest must identify the specific plat(s) of survey that the person or party wishes to protest. Plat(s) not listed within the notice of protest will not have the filing stayed and will be filed as described below. The notice of protest must be received in the BLM Montana/Dakotas State Office no later than the date described in the DATES section of this notice. If received after regular business hours, a notice of protest will be considered filed the next business day. A written statement of reasons in support of the protest, if not filed with the notice of protest, must be filed with the BLM chief cadastral surveyor for North Dakota within 30-calendar days after the notice of protest is received. ( printed page 42607)

If a notice of protest of the plat(s) of survey is received prior to the scheduled date of official filing or during the 10-calendar-day grace period provided in 43 CFR 4.401(a) and the delay in filing is waived, the official filing of the plat(s) of survey identified in the notice of protest will be stayed pending consideration of the protest. Upon receipt of a timely protest, and after a review of the protest, the authorized officer will issue a decision either dismissing or otherwise resolving the protest. A plat of survey will then be officially filed 30 days after the protest decision has been issued in accordance with 43 CFR part 4.

If a notice of protest is received after the date described in the DATES section of this notice and the 10-calendar-day grace period provided in 43 CFR 4.401(a), the notice of protest will be untimely, may not be considered, and may be dismissed.

Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personally identifiable information in your protest, you should be aware that your entire protest—including your personally identifiable information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us to withhold your personally identifiable information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
