Protests for the June 2020 Competitive Oil & Gas Sale must be received by 4:00 P.M. on May 26, 2020  
Protests received by any other method or after that time will not be accepted. 

The BLM Colorado State Office must receive a protest no later than close of business on the 30th calendar day after the posting of the notice of the lease sale. No protests should be received by BLM District or Field Offices. All protests must be received by the Colorado State Office, located at 2850 Youngfield St., Lakewood, CO 80215. If the State Office is not open on the 30th day after the posting of the sale notice, a protest received on the next day our office is open to the public will be considered timely filed. Close of business for the Colorado State office is 4 p.m. which is when the Information Center (Public Room) closes. The protest must also include a statement of reasons to support the protest. We will dismiss a late-filed protest or a protest filed without a statement of reasons.

A protest must state the interest of the protesting party, their mailing address, and reference the specific COC 5-digit serial number being protested. We will dismiss a protest listing the internal parcel ID number.

If the party signing the protest is doing so on behalf of an association, partnership or corporation, the signing party must reveal the relationship between them. For example, unless an environmental group authorizes an individual member of its group to act for it, the individual cannot make a protest in the group’s name.
Protests received after that time or by other methods will not be accepted.
