II. Public Comment Procedures

    On Monday, August 25, 2014, at 1:00 p.m., members of the public 
will have the opportunity to make comments to the Board on the Wild 
Horse and Burro Program. Persons wishing to make comments during the 
Monday meeting should register in person with the BLM by 12:00 p.m. on 
August 25, 2014, at the meeting location. Depending on the number of 
commenters, the Advisory Board may limit the length of comments. 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 are 
requested to submit a written copy of their statement to the address

meeting. There may be a Webcam present during the entire meeting and 
individual comments may be recorded.
    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. The BLM considers comments that are either supported 
by quantitative information or studies or those that include citations 
to and analysis of applicable laws and regulations to be the most 
useful and likely to influence the BLM's decisions on the management 
and protection of wild horses and burros.
