SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 15-member Northwest RAC advises the 
Secretary of the Interior, through the BLM, on a variety of planning 
and management issues associated with public land management in 
northwest Colorado, which includes the WRFO, Little Snake Field Office, 
Grand Junction Field Office, Colorado River Valley Field Office and 
Kremmling Field Office. The Northwest RAC has formed a 12-member Travel 
Management Subgroup to assist with the WRFO's Travel and Transportation 
Management Resource Management Plan (RMP) Amendment. The purpose of the 
meetings is to discuss the RMP Amendment's preliminary alternatives. At 
the first meeting (August 23, 2016), the focus of the discussion will 
be to explain the alternatives and the rationale behind them to the 
Subgroup. At the second meeting (September 14, 2016), the discussion 
will focus on whether the BLM has developed an adequate range of 
alternatives and if those alternatives address the planning issues. The 
Subgroup provides recommendations to the RAC but does not directly 
advise the BLM. The public may make oral comments to the Subgroup or 
submit written comments for the Subgroup's consideration. Summary 
minutes for the Northwest RAC's WRFO Travel Management Subgroup 
meetings will be maintained in the WRFO and will be available for 
public inspection and reproduction during regular business hours within 
thirty (30) days following the meeting.

BLM Colorado State Director.
