Notice of Intent to Hold Filing Error

[OwenT]

Say a few years ago, one filed a small miner's waiver correctly and it was accepted by the BLM but then on the notice of intent to hold that was filed, the wrong year was written in the blank. Instead of for the upcoming assessment year, like on the SMW, it was for the current assessment year. If this filing was accepted by the BLM, shouldn't they have noticed that it would have been well past the due date for filing a NIH for the current year and notified the claimant?

If such an incorrect filing were accepted by the BLM would there be a need/possibility to correct this error? Or would it be in the best interest of the claimant to let sleeping dogs lie, seeing that in August of 2023 the BLM accepted payment of the maintenance fee for the 2024 assessment year?

There is likely in the policy a time frame of around two years for correction / updating. BLM also has no problem contacting the County / State for checking on say annual filings that also shows intent etc. This time frame allows the BLM to generate a notice to the claimant to update / correction etc.

At the County level there is a re-file option, BLM may have something else.

Few things are certain in life. But certainly they will get you one way or the another.

This is one reason for researching of cases to see the process unfold.
