How to Get Involved

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.
