    The plat, representing the dependent resurvey of portions of the 
west boundary, subdivisional lines, the adjusted original meanders of 
the former left bank of the Missouri River, downstream through section

the present left bank of the Missouri River, downstream through section

North, Range 44 East, Principal Meridian, Montana, was accepted 
November 1, 2002.
    We will place a copy of the plat we described in the open files. It 
will be available to the public as a matter of information.
    If BLM receives a protest against this survey, as shown on this 
plat, prior to the date of the official filing, we will stay the filing 
pending our consideration of the protest.
    We will not officially file this plat until the day after we have 
accepted or dismissed all protests and they have become final, 
including decisions on appeals.

    Dated: November 13, 2002.
