The department shall publish notice of an oil and gas lease auction in the official newspaper of the county where the nominated tract is located and in the Bismarck Tribune. The notice must be published once, ten days prior to the day of the auction. The advertisement must specify the date, time, and place of the auction, and how an interested person may obtain a list of the tracts to be auctioned. If publication of any notice is inadvertently omitted by any newspaper or the notice contains typographical errors, the department may proceed with the scheduled leasing if it appears the omission or error is not prejudicial to the department's interest.
