# §3809.597. What if I do not comply with BLM's forfeiture decision?


If you fail to meet the requirements of BLM's forfeiture decision provided under [§ 3809.596](/cfr/43/3809.596.md), and you fail to appeal the forfeiture decision under [§§ 3809.800 to 3809.807](/cfr/43/3809.800..3809.807.md), or the Interior Board of Land Appeals does not grant a stay under [43 CFR 4.321](/cfr/43/4.321.md), or the decision appealed is affirmed, BLM will—

- (a) Immediately collect the forfeited amount as provided by applicable laws for the collection of defaulted financial guarantees, other debts, or State bond pools; and
- (b) Use funds collected from financial guarantee forfeiture to implement the reclamation plan, or portion thereof, on the area or portion of the area to which financial guarantee coverage applies.
