individual with a disability needing an auxiliary aid or service to
participate in the meeting, such as an interpreting service, assistive
listening device, or materials in an alternate format, must notify the
person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 2 weeks before the
scheduled meeting date. Although the BLM will attempt to meet a request
received after that date, the requested auxiliary aid or service may
not be available because of insufficient time to arrange it.
The Federal Advisory Committee Management Regulations [41 CFR 101-
6.1015(b),] require BLM to publish in the Federal Register notice of a
meeting 15 days prior to the meeting date.
III. Public comment procedures
On Friday, March 11, 2011, members of the public will have the
opportunity to make comments to the Board on the Wild Horse and Burro
Program and Proposed Strategy from 9 am to noon local time. Persons
wishing to make comments during the Friday meeting should register with
the BLM by 8:30 am on March 11, 2011, in person, at the meeting
location. Depending on the number of comments, the Advisory Board may
limit the length of comment. At previous meetings, comments have been
limited to 3 minutes in length; however, this time may vary. Commenters
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. 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.
