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 (or your e-mail address if you

file electronically). However, if you do

not want the BLM to release your name

and address (or e-mail address) in

response to a FOIA request, you must

state this prominently at the beginning

of your comment. The BLM will honor

your request to the extent allowed by

law. 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

(or e-mail addresses).
