an alternate format, must notify Ms. DeLorme 2 weeks before the 
scheduled meeting date. Although the BLM will attempt to meet a request

not be available because of insufficient time to arrange it.
    The Federal Advisory Committee Management Regulations at 41 CFR 
101-6.1015(b), require the BLM to publish in the Federal Register

    On Wednesday, April 13 at 3:15 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 meeting should 
register in person with the BLM by 3 p.m. on April 13, 2016, 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. 
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 the 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.
