Kathy, Mike used to run the Nevada Governor's office in DC, among other things. He's a good friend, and apparently has some questions he'd like to ask you. Thanks, Scott Scott J.

The tracking number assigned from the State Office is 1567. This was sent to BLM in DC several months ago and has yet to be sent to the Federal Register. This has resulted in the project being delayed, job losses and other negative consequences that go with a delay. We have had Senator Heller, Governor Sandoval and Congressman Amodei contact BLM to request a status, but the best we can learn there is no plan to move this any time soon. Would you be able to suggest any other steps we can take to move this routine notification forward? Thanks. Michael Pieper (202)251-7055 mike@piepergpa.com
