The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announces an extension of the public comment period on the Bay Draft Resource Management Plan/ Environmental Impact Statement (RMP/EIS).

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
The original Notice of Availability was
published September 29, 2006, and provided for comments on the Bay
Draft RMP/EIS to be received through January 5, 2007. Due to unforeseen
circumstances, one of the key villages within the Bay planning area
asked the BLM to reschedule an open house meeting/subsistence hearing
to January 2007. To honor this request and other separate requests for
a comment extension, the BLM has decided to extend the comment period
by 31 days. Therefore, comments on the Bay Draft RMP/EIS will now be accepted through February 5, 2007.
Dated: December 14, 2006.
