UTU-68318 et al. Dismissed. 1. Oil and Gas Leases: Competitive Leases--Rules of Practice: Appeals: Generally--Rules of Practice: Appeals: Effect of--Rules of Practice: Protests Departmental regulation 43 CFR 3120.1-3 provides that no action taken pursuant to regulations governing com- petitive oil and gas leasing in Subpart 3120 shall be suspended under 43 CFR 4.21(a), which would otherwise suspend the effect of decisions after appeal or while an appeal could be filed. Although BLM's authorized officer may suspend offering a particular lease parcel while a protest or appeal is considered, BLM properly refused to suspend sale of 37 lease parcels where objection was made on the day of sale but no reason was stated for the protest. 2. Rules of Practice: Appeals: Jurisdiction--Rules of Practice: Appeals: Standing to Appeal Standing to appeal a decision of BLM requires that an appellant establish that it is a party to the case adversely affected by the decision. 3. Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976: Wilderness-- Oil and Gas Leases: Lands Subject to--Wilderness Act A protest against sale of oil and gas leases that contends the sale should not proceed because the land to be leased has wilderness characteristics is properly dismissed because the final administrative determination that the land was not wilderness in character was made in 1985 when BLM and the Board decided not to include the land at issue in a wilderness study area. .22 IBLA
