# §3836.26. How long may a deferment of assessment work last?

- (a) BLM may grant a deferment for up to one assessment year. However, the deferment ends automatically if the reason for the deferment ends.
- (b) The deferment period will begin on the date you request in the petition unless BLM's approval sets a different date.
- (c) You may petition to renew the deferment for one additional assessment year if a valid reason for a deferment continues. BLM cannot renew your deferment of assessment work more than once.
