Protests
According to BLM policy, protest periods shall last 10 days from the publication of the sale notice. Therefore, all protests must be received no later than May 23rd, 2019.  Protests should be as specific as possible.  Those which contain only opinions or preferences will not receive a formal response, but may be considered in the BLM decision-making process.  Protests may be filed either by mail in hard-copy form or by telefax. Hard-copies can be mailed to the BLM-Eastern States office at 20 M Street, Suite 950, Washington, D.C. 20003, or telefaxed to the attention of State Director at (202) 912-7710.  For information on how to file a timely protest, please refer to the oil and gas lease sale notice. The BLM will not accept protests submitted by email, compact disk (CD), thumb drive, or other electronic media.  The BLM will also not accept protests submitted in person or by any means other than US mail or telefax.

Before including an address, phone number, email address, or other personal information in any comments, please be aware that the entire comment—including personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time.  Requests to withhold personal identifying information from public review can be submitted, but the BLM cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so.
