Contact

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.

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 stay of filing published in the Federal Register on September 14, 2021, will not be lifted because the protest was accepted, and the acceptance of the plats was cancelled.
