Public Comment Procedures
The BLM and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) welcome comments from
all interested parties. Members of the public participating virtually
and in-person will have opportunities to make comments to the Board
regarding the Wild Horse and Burro Program on Tuesday, October 4, from
3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. PT, Wednesday, October 5, from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30
p.m. PT, and on Thursday, October 6, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. PT. To
accommodate all individuals interested in providing comments,
individuals must register with the BLM at least 3 days in advance of
the meetings. To register, please go to the website listed in the
ADDRESSES section. Individuals who have not registered in advance but
would like to offer comments will be permitted if time allows. The
Board may limit the length of comments, depending on the number of
participants who register in advance. Written comments should be
emailed to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#1c5e5051434b53435d786a756f736e65435e737d6e78435f7371717972686f5c7e7071327b736a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="642628293b332b3b2500120d170b161d3b260b0516003b270b0909010a1017240608094a030b12">[email protected]</span></a> and include
``Advisory Board Comment'' in the subject line of your email at least 3
days prior to the meeting. All written comments will be provided to the
Board for consideration during the meeting. The BLM will record the
entire meeting, including the allotted public comment sessions.
Comments should be specific and explain the reason for the
recommendation(s). Comments supported by quantitative information,
studies, or those that include citations and analysis of applicable
laws and regulations are most beneficial, more useful, and likely to
assist the decision-making process for 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, the BLM cannot guarantee that it will
be able to do so.
