PROSPECTING ON FEDERAL LAND: The Division has entered into cooperative <br /> agreements with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or the U.S. Forest <br /> Service (USFS) to coordinate the review of NOIs and the posting of financial <br /> warranties. The primary goal is to ensure that the agencies minimize duplication of <br /> functions and thereby minimize regulatory duplication imposed upon prospecting <br /> operations. The Division assumes the primary responsibility for the administration, <br /> review, and permitting of NOIs. The prospector is required to document that the <br /> NOI has been sent to the BLM or the USFS. Upon receipt of the NOI,the Division will <br /> notify the appropriate BLM or USFS office and forward a copy of the NOI. Processing <br /> of the NOI will not begin until the prospector has submitted evidence acceptable to <br /> the Division that the NOI was sent to the BLM or USFS. <br /> We have enclosed a copy of the VNOI sent to the USFS. It clearly cites activities for <br /> which no notice nor prospecting permit is required. <br /> Sinceely, <br /> Russell D.
