the scheduled meeting date. Although the BLM will attempt to meet a
request received after that date, the requested auxiliary aid or

The Federal Advisory Committee Management Regulations [41 CFR 101-

II. Public Comment Procedures
Members of the public may make oral statements to the Advisory
Board on September 28, 2009 at the appropriate point in the agenda.
This opportunity is anticipated to occur at 3 p.m., local time. Persons
wishing to make statements should register with the BLM by noon on
September 28, 2009 at the meeting location. Depending on the number of
speakers, the Advisory Board may limit the length of presentations. At
previous meetings, presentations have been limited to three minutes in
length. Speakers should address the specific wild horse and burro-
related topics listed on the agenda. Speakers must submit a written
copy of their statement to the address listed in the ADDRESSES section
or bring a written copy to the meeting.
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, but those most useful and likely to influence
decisions on management and protection of wild horses and burros are
those that are either supported by quantitative information or studies
or those that include citations to and analysis of applicable laws and
regulations. Except for comments provided in electronic format,
speakers should submit two copies of their written comments where
feasible. The BLM will not necessarily consider comments received after
the time indicated under the DATES section or at locations other than
that listed in the ADDRESSES section.
In the event there is a request under the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) for a copy of your comments, the BLM will make them
available in their entirety, including your name and address. Before
including your address, phone number, e-mail 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. The BLM will
release all submissions from organizations or businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, in their entirety, including names and
addresses.
