    A person or party who wishes to protest an official filing of a

with the BLM Chief Cadastral Surveyor for Montana at the address listed 
in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. The notice of protest must 
identify the plat(s) of survey that the person or party wishes to 
protest. The notice of protest must be received in the BLM Montana 
State Office no later than the scheduled date of the proposed official 
filing for the plat(s) of survey being protested; 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 Montana within 30 calendar days 
after the notice of protest is received.
    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 scheduled date of 
official filing 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.
