# §590.4. How do I file an appeal?


For your appeal to be filed, BOEM must receive all of the following within 60 days after you receive the decision or order:

- (a) A written Notice of Appeal, together with a copy of the decision or order you are appealing, in the office of the BOEM officer that issued the decision or order. You cannot extend the 60-day period for that office to receive your Notice of Appeal; and
- (b) **A nonrefundable processing fee of $150 paid with the Notice of Appeal.**
  - (1) You must pay electronically through the Fees for Services page on the BOEM Web site at http://www.boem.gov, and you must include a copy of the Pay.gov confirmation receipt page with your Notice of Appeal.
  - (2) **You cannot extend the 60-day period for payment of the processing fee.**
- (c) You may file an appeal of a BOEM supplemental financial assurance demand with the IBLA. However, if you request that the IBLA stay the demand pending a final ruling on your appeal, you must post an appeal surety bond equal to the amount of the demand that you seek to stay before any such stay is effective.
