II. Public Comment Procedures
On Wednesday, April 22, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. members of the public
will have the opportunity to make comments to the Advisory Board on the
Wild Horse and Burro Program. Persons wishing to make comments during
the meeting should register in person with the BLM by 2:00 p.m. on
April 22, 2015, at the meeting location. Depending on the number of
commenters, the Advisory Board may limit the length of comments. At
previous meetings, comments have been limited to three minutes in
length; however, this time may vary. Commenters should address the
specific wild horse and burro-related topics listed on the agenda.
Speakers are requested to submit a written copy of their statement to
the address listed in the ADDRESSES section above or bring a written
copy to the meeting. There may be a Webcam present during the entire
meeting and individual comments may be recorded.
Participation in the Advisory Board meeting is not a prerequisite
for submission of written comments. The BLM invites written comments
from all interested parties. Your written comments should be specific
and explain the reason for any recommendation. The BLM appreciates any
and all comments. The BLM considers comments that are either supported
by quantitative information or studies or those that include citations
to and analysis of applicable laws and regulations to be the most
useful and likely to influence BLM's decisions on the management and
protection of wild horses and burros.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
Authority: 43 CFR 1784.4-1.
