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 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a7e5ebeaf8eee3f8ebe2f8f4f2f7f7f5f2ebe2f4e7c5cbca89c0c8d1"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="652729283a2c213a29203a363035353730292036250709084b020a13">[email protected]</span></a>.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Keith McGrath, Bureau of Land 
Management, (208) 373-4046, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7f34321c380d1e0b173f1d131251181009"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="317a7c52764350455971535d5c1f565e47">[email protected]</span></a>. 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 <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#01434d4c5e48455e4d445e5254515153544d445241636d6c2f666e77"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e8aaa4a5b7a1acb7a4adb7bbbdb8b8babda4adbba88a8485c68f879e">[email protected]</span></a> 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.

    Authority: 43 CFR 8365.1-6

Acting BLM Idaho State Director.
