As we discussed, there is some question as to the <br />effective date of the notice and therefore the appeal deadline. You stated that the notice of the <br />final determination was published in a newspaper, but needed to check with your client on <br />specifically which paper. In order to aid my and my clients' ability to participate in the MLRB <br />programs, please confirm the paper in which official notices and agendas are published. Please <br />also confirm the date on which the SM-18 notice was published. <br />Also, please send any additional documentation from the files regarding these four mines. My <br />last request for documents regarding the DMO determination was addressed by DMG on Mazch <br />10, 2006. As we discussed, the current request is for documents not previously provided and in <br />particulaz the records regarding DMG review and communications with Cotter regarding DMO <br />status. As we discussed, some of the requested records are expected to be filed today (April 17). <br />Due to deadlines involved, please send by e-mail attachment (preferred) or by fax in order that I <br />may review them in a timely manner. <br />Thank you again for your helpful assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please do <br />not hesitate to call. <br />Sincerely, <br />s/Travis E.
