The scoping period for the Programmatic EIS ended on May 16, 2011. The Draft Programmatic EIS is currently available for public comment. The public comment period closes May 4, 2012.

 

Public involvement is a key component of the PEIS process. The BLM encourage all interested parties to continue to participate in the OSTS PEIS by submitting their comments and questions concerning the Draft Oil Shale and Tar Sands PEIS, attending public meetings, and reading PEIS publications and related materials.
