Notice of Extension of Public 

Comment Period for Proposed Idaho 

Statewide Supplementary Rules 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of extension. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) published a Notice 

of Proposed Supplementary Rules in the 

Federal Register on February 3, 2015 

[80 FR 5781] and announced the 

beginning of a 60-day public comment 

period. In response to technical 

difficulties with one of the methods for 

taking comments, the BLM is extending 

the public comment period for the 

Proposed Supplementary Rules until 

May 5, 2015. 

DATES: The comment period is extended 

to May 5, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Please mail or hand-deliver 

comments to Keith McGrath, State Chief 

Law Enforcement Ranger, Bureau of 

Land Management, Idaho State Office, 

1387 S. Vinnell Way, Boise, Idaho 

83709; or email comments to BLM_ID_

LE_SUPPRULES@blm.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Keith McGrath, Bureau of Land 

Management, (208) 373–4046, 

KMcGrath@blm.gov. Persons who use a 

telecommunications device for the deaf 

(TDD) may contact Mr. McGrath by 

calling the Federal Information Relay 

Service (FIRS) at (800) 877–8339, 24 

hours a day, 7 days a week. You will 

receive a reply during normal business 

hours. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

supplementary rules are proposed to 

promote consistency between State and 

Federal regulations with respect to 

certain uses of Federal lands under BLM 

jurisdiction in Idaho. The 

supplementary rules would allow BLM 

law enforcement personnel and partner 

agencies to address gaps in current 

regulations, to continue enforcing 

existing public land regulations in a 

manner consistent with current State of 

Idaho statutes, and would provide more 

clarity for public land users, especially 

visitors to BLM recreation areas. 

The original notice containing the 

proposed supplementary rules included 

the email address BLM_ID_LE_

SUPPRULES@blm.gov as one of three 

ways to submit written comments on 

the Proposed Supplementary Rules. A 

60-day comment period began on 

February 3, 2015, the day the notice was 

published in the Federal Register. The 

notice advised that the BLM would 

accept written comments by any of the 

three methods listed until April 6, 2015. 

A name, phone number and additional 

email address were also provided as a 

point of contact for further information. 

On March 12, 2015, the BLM became 

aware that the email account for 

submitting comments was not activated 

and therefore could not be used to 

submit comments. The email address 

was activated the same day, leaving 26 

days in the original comment period. As 

a result, the BLM is extending the 

comment period until May 5, 2015, to 

ensure adequate time for those who 

wish to submit comments to do so. Any 

of the three methods listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice may be 

used to submit comments until that 

date. The BLM is not obligated to 

consider comments postmarked or 

received in person or by electronic mail 

after May 5, 2015. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information, be 

aware that your 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 we will be 

able to do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

prohibits certain activities with 

endangered and threatened species 

unless authorized by a Federal permit. 

Along with our implementing 

regulations at 50 CFR 17, the Act 

provides for permits and requires that 

we invite public comment before 

issuing these permits. 

A permit granted by us under section 

10(a)(1)(A) of the Act authorizes the 

permittees to conduct activities with 

U.S. endangered or threatened species 

for scientific purposes, enhancement of 

propagation or survival, or interstate 

commerce (the latter only in the event 

that it facilitates scientific purposes or 

enhancement of propagation or 

survival). Our regulations implementing 

section 10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are 

found at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered 

wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.32 for 

threatened wildlife species, 50 CFR 

17.62 for endangered plant species, and 

50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant 

species.
