returned to the person or organization, if deficiencies are not corrected within 60 days of filing <br /> (Rule 5.1.3). <br /> The New Review Process Regarding Confidentiality Designations <br /> Hard Rock Rule 5.1.3 (Office Review),Rule 5.2 (Confidentiality) and Rule 1.3 (Public Inspection of <br /> Documents) will apply. These rules will guide office review of determinations regarding <br /> confidentiality designations. The Division will review the submittal for technical adequacy as <br /> stated above, including the review of the submittal in regard to information the applicant has <br /> designated as confidential.If the Division identifies any deficiencies in the submittal including any <br /> disagreement regarding the designation of confidential materials, then the prospector will be <br /> notified by the Division in accordance with the timeframes identified in these rules,but no later <br /> than 20 working days of NOI receipt. <br /> Disputes relating to designation of confidentiality may be resolved by the Prospector removing <br /> the confidentiality designation by the Prospector or by Board determination. The DRMS will not <br /> issue an approval decision and the applicant is not authorized to commence prospecting <br /> operations until all deficiencies,including confidentiality issues,are resolved. <br /> PROSPECTING ONYEDERAL LAND: <br /> The Division has entered into cooperative agreements with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management <br /> (BLM) or the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) to coordinate the review of NOIs and the posting of <br /> financial warranties. The primary goal is to ensure that the agencies minimize duplication of <br /> functions and thereby minimize regulatory duplication imposed upon prospecting operations. <br /> The Division assumes the primary responsibility for the administration,review,and permitting of <br /> NOIs. The prospector is required to document that the NOI has been sent to the BLM or the USFS. <br /> Upon receipt of the NOI,the Division will notify the appropriate BLM or USFS office and forward a <br /> copy of the NOI. Processing of the NOI will not begin until the prospector has submitted evidence <br /> acceptable to the Division that the NOI was sent to the BLM or USFS. <br /> FINANCIAL WARRANTY: <br /> A financial warranty must be provided and approved prior to the entry upon lands for the purpose <br /> of prospecting. The prospector can either file a "One Site Prospecting Financial Warranty" or a <br /> "Statewide Prospecting Financial Warranty." The One Site Prospecting Financial Warranty is <br /> usually filed by individuals or small companies where prospecting activities are limited to a single <br /> area. It must be filed in the amount of$2,000 per acre for the land to be disturbed, or such other <br /> amount as determined by the Division, based on the projected costs of reclamation, taking into <br /> account the nature,extent,and duration of the prospecting operation and the magnitude,type and <br /> estimated cost of the planned reclamation. A Statewide Financial Warranty is usually filed by <br /> larger companies with multiple prospecting sites. It must be filed in an amount equal to the <br /> estimated cost of reclamation per acre of affected land for all anticipated sites statewide. (You <br /> v <br />
