are those that are either supported by quantitative information or
studies, or those that include citations to and analysis of applicable
laws and regulations. Except for comments provided in electronic
format, commenters should submit two copies of their written comments,
where practicable. The BLM will not necessarily consider comments
received after the time indicated under the DATES section or at
locations other than that listed in the ADDRESSES section.
In the event there is a request under the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) for a copy of your comments, we intend to make them
available in their entirety, including your name and address (or your
e-mail address if you file electronically). However, if you do not want
us to release your name and address (or e-mail address) in response to
a FOIA request, you must state this prominently at the beginning of
your comment. We will honor your wish to the extent allowed by the law.
All submissions from organizations or business, and from individuals
identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations
or businesses, will be in their entirety, including names and addresses
(or e-mail addresses).
Electronic Access and Filing Address: Commenters may transmit
comments electronically via the Internet to: Chris__Jauhola@blm.gov.

An individual with a disability who will need an auxiliary aid or

assistive listening device, or materials in an alternate format, must
notify the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT two
weeks before the scheduled hearing date. Although BLM will attempt to
meet a request received after that date, the requested auxiliary aid or

it.
