# §3281.6. What action will BLM take after reviewing a proposed unit area designation?

- (a) BLM will approve the unit area designation in writing and notify the prospective unit operator once we determine that:
  - (1) We have received the information required at [§ 3281.2](/cfr/43/3281.2.md);
  - (2) Information available to BLM documents that the area is geologically appropriate for unitization; and
  - (3) Unitization is appropriate to conserve the natural resources of a geothermal reservoir, field, or like area, or part thereof.
- (b) BLM will notify a prospective unit operator in writing if we do not designate a proposed unit area.
