a disability needing an auxiliary aid or service to participate in the 
meeting, such as an interpreting service, assistive listening device, 
or materials in an alternate format, must notify Ms. DeLorme 2 weeks 
before the scheduled meeting date, see the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 
CONTACT section above. Although the BLM will attempt to meet a request 
received after that date, the requested auxiliary aid or service may 
not be available because of insufficient time to arrange for it.

II. Public Comment Procedures

    On Wednesday, October 18, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., members of the 
public will have the opportunity to make comments to the Advisory Board 
on the Wild Horse and Burro Program. Persons wishing to make comments 
during the meeting should register in person with the BLM prior to 3 
p.m. on October 18, 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, 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 does not require the 
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 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.
