The BLM has resolved all valid protest issues. The BLM has made minor modifications and editorial clarifications to the Approved Plan Amendments. These modifications provided further clarification of some of the decisions. Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6. Michael D. Nedd, Assistant Director, Minerals and Realty Management.
