SUMMARY: On September 29, 2020, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 
published in the Federal Register, Volume 85, Number 189, on page 
61028, a notice entitled ``Notice of Filing of Plats of Survey; New 
Mexico; Oklahoma.'' The Notice stated that four supplemental plats were 
scheduled to be officially filed 30 days after the date, unless a 
person or party who wished to protest any of these surveys filed a 
timely, written Notice of Protest. On October 23, 2020, the Bureau of 
Land Management received a timely protest to the filing of the four 
supplemental plats.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 14, 2021, the BLM published a 
notice in the Federal Register, Volume 86, Number 175, on page 51182, a 
notice entitled ``Notice of Filing of Plats of Survey; Oklahoma.'' This 
notice stated that the official filing of the four Oklahoma 
supplemental plats had been stayed, pending consideration of all 
protests.
    On February 27, 2024, the BLM New Mexico State Office State 
Director issued a decision and accepted the Arkansas River Authority's 
protest of the four supplemental plats.
    The previous notices and protest decision letter apply to the
