SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

The public is invited to an open house with Forest Service personnel available to provide information and answer questions about the proposed Colorado Roadless Rule. Attendees are encouraged to submit written public comment at the open house, but there will be no time allotted at the open house for oral comments.

Meeting attendees will need to pass through U.S. Department of Agriculture security in order to enter the building. You will need photo identification to enter the building. Attendees are encouraged to provide their names to security prior to the meeting in order to gain quicker access to the building. Attendees can submit their names to a comment line by calling 2022051776. In the message you should identify yourself as wanting to attend the public meeting on the Colorado rule, and then both say and spell your name. Any bags that attendees bring will have to go through screening; you are, therefore, encouraged not to bring bags in order to expedite the screening process.

A copy of the proposed rule, draft environmental impact statement (DEIS), the DEIS summary, dates for public meetings in Colorado, and other information related to this rulemaking will be available at the national roadless Web site (http://www.roadless.fs.fed.us.)
