SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 15-member Northwest RAC advises the
Secretary of the Interior, through the BLM, on a variety of planning
and management issues associated with public land management in
northwest Colorado, which includes the WRFO, Little Snake Field Office,
Grand Junction Field Office, Colorado River Valley Field Office and
Kremmling Field Office. The Northwest RAC has formed a 12-member Travel
Management Subgroup to assist with the WRFO's Travel and Transportation
Management Resource Management Plan (RMP) Amendment. The purpose of the
meetings is to discuss the RMP Amendment's preliminary alternatives. At
the first meeting (August 23, 2016), the focus of the discussion will
be to explain the alternatives and the rationale behind them to the
Subgroup. At the second meeting (September 14, 2016), the discussion
will focus on whether the BLM has developed an adequate range of
alternatives and if those alternatives address the planning issues. The
Subgroup provides recommendations to the RAC but does not directly
advise the BLM. The public may make oral comments to the Subgroup or
submit written comments for the Subgroup's consideration. Summary
minutes for the Northwest RAC's WRFO Travel Management Subgroup
meetings will be maintained in the WRFO and will be available for
public inspection and reproduction during regular business hours within
thirty (30) days following the meeting.

BLM Colorado State Director.
