able to do so.
Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM Colorado State
Director or other authorized official of the Department of the
Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action and
issue a final determination. In the absence of timely filed objections,
this realty action will become the final determination of the
Department of the Interior.
