PUBLIC
COMMENT PERIOD (May
15, 2024 through June 14, 2024)
The BLM initiated a public comment period on the preliminary environmental assessment for the Little Book Cliffs Wild Horse Range Management on May 15, 2024. Please see the information below for description of the type of information that the BLM is requesting from the public. To submit a comment please click on Participate Now in the left navigation bar and then click on the green Participate Now box to the left of the document name link.
How to Comment:
The
BLM is seeking comments about the Proposed Action, alternatives, and analysis
in the preliminary environmental assessment. Substantive comments that will be
addressed in the final environmental assessment are those that revealed new
information, missing information, or flawed analysis that would substantially
change conclusions.
Substantive comments do one or more of the following:
a. question, with reasonable basis,
the accuracy of information in the EA.
b. question, with reasonable basis, the
adequacy of methods for, or assumptions used for the environmental
analysis.
c. present new information relevant
to the analysis.
d. present reasonable alternatives
other than those analyzed in the EA.
e. cause changes or revisions in one
or more of the alternatives.
f. make factual corrections.
Comments that are not considered
substantive by the BLM include the following:
a. comments in favor of or against the
proposed action or alternatives without reasoning that meet the criteria listed
above (such as “we disagree with Alternative Two and believe the BLM should
select Alternative Three”).
b. comments that only agree or
disagree with BLM, policy, or resource decisions without justification or
supporting data that meet the criteria listed above (such as “more grazing
should be permitted”).
c. comments that don’t pertain to the
project area or the project (such as “the government should eliminate all
dams,” when the project is about a grazing permit).
d. comments that take the form of vague,
open-ended questions.
While you can ask us in your comment to
withhold from public review your personal identifying information (including
your address, phone number, e-mail address, etc.), we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.
