5. Are the public involvement and interagency review associated with existing NEPAdocument(s) adequate for the current proposed action?

Yes. Public scoping was conducted for renewal of the Burning Man SRP in November and

December of 2010. The scoping was for as-year SRP that would allow the event to grow 20%over the current 50,000 participant ceiling. The proposal being evaluated here is for a one-year

extension of the 2010 authorization, without any increase in population. During scoping

meetings, several comments were expressed supporting the idea of a one-year extension to allow

time to analyze the 5-year proposal. Comments received during public scoping were also used as

the basis for a complete review of the special stipulations related to the logistics and

administration of the event. As a result of this review, a number of stipulations were modified

and one stipulation was added. None of these changes to the special stipulations involved

environmental issues.
