State Office no later than the scheduled date of the proposed official 
filing for the plat(s) of survey being protested; if received after

the BLM Chief Cadastral Surveyor for Montana within 30 calendar days 
after the notice of protest is received.

Upon receipt of a timely protest, and after a review of the protest, 
the Authorized Office will issue a decision either dismissing or 
otherwise resolving the protest. A plat of survey will then be
