SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announces an extension of 
the public comment period on the Bay Draft Resource Management Plan/
Environmental Impact Statement (RMP/EIS). The original notice, issued 
September 29, 2006, provided for a comment period to end on January 5, 
2007. The BLM is extending the comment period until February 5, 2007.

planning, and management of the Bay planning area must be submitted or 
postmarked no later than February 5, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The original Notice of Availability was 
published September 29, 2006, and provided for comments on the Bay 
Draft RMP/EIS to be received through January 5, 2007. Due to unforeseen 
circumstances, one of the key villages within the Bay planning area 
asked the BLM to reschedule an open house meeting/subsistence hearing 
to January 2007. To honor this request and other separate requests for 
a comment extension, the BLM has decided to extend the comment period 
by 31 days. Therefore, comments on the Bay Draft RMP/EIS will now be 
accepted through February 5, 2007.

    Dated: December 14, 2006.
Julia Dougan,
Acting State Director.
