The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announces the new date for the close of the comment period for the Northwest Colorado Greater Sage-Grouse Environmental Impact Statement and Resource Management Plan Amendment.
The BLM initially scheduled 90 days for comment, and the original date for the close of the comment period was Nov. 14, 2013. Due to the lapse in appropriations and the resulting Federal government shutdown, the documents were not available on the BLM website from October 1 through Oct. 16, 2013. Accordingly, the new date for the close of the comment period will be Dec. 2, 2013.
Public involvement is an essential and required part of the planning process, and comments submitted by Dec. 2, 2013 will be considered before the BLM makes a final decision.
