 How to Comment Effectively

Your participation is an important part of the decision-making process. We need your feedback to identify issues that may occur if the Project moves forward. The most effective comments are those that provide useful information to the agencies. To make the best use of your input, here are some points to consider when making a comment about the Project:

·     - Identify potentially affected resources, applicable laws, policies and regulations, or reasonably foreseeable actions relevant to the project.

·     - Highlight information, data, and/or analysis the BLM might use when developing alternatives and considering the impact of the proposed project or alternatives.

·     - Identify – based on factual evidence – potential deficiencies in the scope of analysis or methodology or assumptions proposed for use in the environmental analysis

·     - Avoid comments that state, “I am in favor of this Project,” or “I am opposed to this Project.”

·     - Remember that the more clear, concise, and relevant to the Project your comments are, the more effective and useful they will be in improving the environmental impact statement and affecting the BLM’s decision.

·     - Make sure you submit your comments within the timeframe announced. This ensures the BLM will have all concerns documented for use in the environmental impact statement.
