Information on Attending the Virtual Public Meeting
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (the Service) has scheduled a virtual public meeting on July 31st , 2023, from 5:00pm – 8:00pm Mountain Time (MT). The virtual public meeting is intended to give the public an opportunity to learn more about the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard.
The Service will hold the virtual public meeting via the Zoom Webinar online platform so that participants can attend remotely. During the virtual public meeting, attendees can join by computer or phone to learn about the proposed listing. The virtual public meeting will start with a brief presentation by Service staff followed by an opportunity for attendees to ask questions on the proposed listing. A verbal public comment session will follow to accept comments on the proposed listing. Commenters may have an allotted time to provide comments, and the order of commenters will be based on registration. In addition, public comments can be submitted at [https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2023-13859].
We recommend that members of the public log into the Zoom meeting platform 5 minutes prior to the beginning of the presentation to ensure that they can connect. If using the phone-only option, participants will be able to listen to the virtual public meeting, but they will not view the presentation. Instructions will be given regarding how participants will be able to provide their comments for the public meeting.
