    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.

[[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.

(Authority: 43 U.S.C. chapter 3)

Thomas L. Laakso,
Chief Cadastral Surveyor for North Dakota.
