§3836.22. How do I qualify for a deferment of assessment work on my mining claims that are on National Park System (NPS) lands?
43 C.F.R. § 3836.22
Correspondence from NPS merely denying your Plan of Operations for incompleteness or inadequacy will not suffice for a deferment of assessment work. To qualify for a deferment of assessment work on claims situated on NPS lands—
You must obtain a letter from NPS stating that—
NPS received and found your proposed Plan of Operations to be complete;
NPS cannot act on the plan until it conducts a validity exam; and
NPS anticipates completing the validity exam after the assessment year ends.
You must send NPS's letter to BLM, along with other documents and information that BLM requires (see § 3836.23) to support your petition for deferment of assessment work.
