On October 1, 2008 BLM will begin the transition to a new financial accounting system. While all existing data is converted and the new system is brought on line, BLM will have only limited ability to pay its vendors. We anticipate this period of limited ability will extend from October 1 through mid-November, 2008.

During this period payments to vendors may be delayed. BLM will make every effort to process payments in accordance with Prompt Pay Act requirements. However, vendors should be prepared for the possibility that payments could be delayed for up to 45 days.

Beginning October 1, 2008, you may call 877-480-9724 if you have a question regarding the payment of a specific invoice. To read the entire Notice which has additional important information, please click here.
