an alternate format, must notify Ms. DeLorme two weeks before the 
scheduled meeting date. Although the BLM will attempt to meet a request

    The Federal Advisory Committee Management Regulations at 41 CFR 
101-6.1015(b), requires BLM to publish in the Federal Register notice 
of a public meeting 15 days prior to the meeting date.

II. Public Comment Procedures

    On Thursday, September 3, 2015 at 10:30 a.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 
meeting should register in person with the BLM by 10:15 a.m. on 
September 3, 2015, 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 three minutes in 
length; however, this time may vary. Speakers are requested to submit a 
written copy of their statement to the address listed in the ADDRESSES 
section above, email comments to [email protected], or bring a 
written copy to the 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 BLM's decisions on the management and 
protection of wild horses and burros.
    Before including your address, phone number, email 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 in your comment that the BLM withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, the BLM cannot guarantee that it will 
be able to do so.

    Authority:  43 CFR 1784.4-1.

Deputy Assistant Director, Resources and Planning.
