# §3515.25. Is BLM required to publish notice or hold a hearing?


Yes. After you and BLM agree on the lands for exchange, we will publish a notice of the proposed exchange in the Federal Register and in a newspaper(s) in the county(s) where the lands involved are located. The notice will include:

- (a) The time and place of a public hearing(s);
- (b) Our preliminary findings that the exchange is in the public interest; and
- (c) **A request for public comments on the merits of the proposed exchange.**
