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, commenters should submit two copies of their written comments, 
where practicable. 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 on Information 
Act (FOIA) for a copy of your comments, we intend to 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 
us 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. We will honor your wish to the extent allowed by the law. 
All submissions from organizations or businesses and from individuals 
identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations 
or business will be in their entirety, including names and addresses 
(or e-mail addresses).
    Electronic Access and Filing Address: Commenters may transmit
