person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 2 weeks before the 
scheduled meeting date. Although the BLM will attempt to meet a request 
received after that date, the requested auxiliary aid or service may 
not be available because of insufficient time to arrange it.
    The Federal Advisory Committee Management Regulations [41 CFR 101-
6.1015(b),] require BLM to publish in the Federal Register notice of a 
meeting 15 days prior to the meeting date.

III. Public comment procedures

    On Friday, March 11, 2011, members of the public will have the 
opportunity to make comments to the Board on the Wild Horse and Burro 
Program and Proposed Strategy from 9 am to noon local time. Persons 
wishing to make comments during the Friday meeting should register with 
the BLM by 8:30 am on March 11, 2011, in person, at the meeting 
location. Depending on the number of comments, the Advisory Board may 
limit the length of comment. At previous meetings, comments have been 
limited to 3 minutes in length; however, this time may vary. Commenters 
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. 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. Before 
including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal 
identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your 
entire 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 that we will be able to do so. 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.
