BLM collectors can request the entire remaining balance (any seed over 10,000) be returned or shipped to a cooperator via a Clearance Form (available on the SOS website). Please allow at least 30 days for Bend to process the order. You will need to provide
the FedEx shipping code, and a short description of the intended use of the material. If there is no rush to have seed returned to you, please indicate so on the form. You can put “no rush” in as the request by date. Just be aware that the earliest you can
expect seed to be returned is 30 days from the day the seed ARRIVES at Bend.</span></span><span data-contrast="auto" class="TextRun SCXW169882004 BCX0" lang="EN-US" style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; user-select: text; font-size: 12pt; font-kerning: none; line-height: 20.5042px; font-variant-ligatures: none !important;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW169882004 BCX0" style="margin: 0px; user-select: text"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;"> </span></span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW169882004 BCX0" style="margin: 0px; user-select: text; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;">Clearance

note on seed cleaning: If you ever wonder if your seed is clean enough, you can send a picture to Kayla at Bend Seed Extractory. Bend is able to clean most seed in any condition, but ensuring it is clean when it arrives prevents unnecessary damage to the seed,

<u>Survey123 and Tablet Use:</u> We are in discussions to potentially update the SOS protocol to reduce the use of paper datasheets, and instead use a data form which can be accessed by mobile devices, like tablets in the field. We are looking at using Survey123,
which is a ArcGIS app that some of you may be familiar with. It sounds like many people would be supportive of this transition and have had positive experiences using Collector or Survey123. We will keep you updated on this project, but if you have any thoughts
that you forgot to share, please send me an email.</div>
