The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Montana, Billings Field Office, has scheduled a public hearing for Friday, July 31, from 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. regarding the use of motor vehicles in administration of the 1971 Wild, Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act.

The hearing will be held at the BLM Montana State Office, located at 5001 Southgate Dr. in Billings. As part of the access procedures to federal buildings, all visitors are reminded that photo identification is required at the entrance.

In accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations 4740.1, the BLM must conduct a public hearing to obtain public comment regarding the use of any motor vehicles in managing wild horse and burros. Motorized equipment is used for accomplishing a number of management objectives such as transporting to holding, adopters, monitoring and administrative maintenance. The BLM is using trucks and horse trailers to transport wild horses during the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range (PMWHR) bait/water trap gather.

The public will be given an opportunity to speak, but BLM is asking for the public to bring written copies of their statements for the official record. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in comments during the hearing, be aware that the entire comments—including personal identifying information—could be made publicly available at any time. While it can be requested in comments to withhold personal identifying information from public review, the BLM cannot guarantee that the agency will be able to do so
