Can someone else protest my permit application?

(a) Yes, anyone may file a protest with BLM. The protest does not have to be in a particular format nor on a BLM-approved form but it must: (1) Be filed in duplicate with BLM; (2) Contain a complete description of all facts upon which it is based; (3) Describe the lands involved; and (4) Be accompanied by evidence of service of a copy of the protest on the applicant. (b) If the person protesting also wants a grazing permit for all or part of the land described in the protested application, the protest must be accompanied by a grazing permit application.
