notice of a public meeting 15 days prior to the meeting date.

II. Public Comment Procedures

    On Thursday, September 8 at 3:30 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 3:00 p.m. on September 8,

above, email comments to [email protected], or bring a written

    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
