From Burning Man site

CALL, SEND AN EMAIL, OR POSTMARK A LETTER TO THE BLM BEFORE MAY 5TH AT 4:30 PM, WHICH IS THE END OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. The public comment period is where the general public can give their feedback about the BLMâ€™s proposed decision about the permit, Environmental Assessment (EA) or the stipulations.

The preliminary EA is located at

Preliminary Environmental Assessment

The stipulations are not available to the public yet.

First we’ve provided a sample letter, but if you’d like to craft one in your own words (which we encourage) you’ll find important bullet points to consider below the letter. Please be sure to send it to Dave Cooper so your comments get in the public record. But, please also send copies to Gail Givens and Ron Wenker, who are also involved in the stipulation decisions. Finally, be sure to copy Burning Man so we can track this campaign.

It has been 7 years since we’ve asked for your help at this scale. We’ve been careful to ask for your involvement when we really need it. This IS one of those times. Over 50% of participants on the event-bases census admit to being activists. So, let’s activate!
