Moab, Utah  The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Canyon Country District will host an online Customer Service Week, Monday, February 1 through Friday, February 5, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Mountain Time on the online meeting platform, Zoom. There is no cost to attend any of the sessions.

Participants will learn about BLM processes, laws, and regulations with the goal of fostering a greater understanding of agency requirements and procedures. Participants will have the opportunity to interact in real-time with BLM specialists and learn more about specific processes.

The sessions will cover topics including how to complete a land use application, explain the requirements for NEPA, and highlight some of the resources considered in processing an application. All presentations will be recorded for later viewing. The webinar's goal is to provide community leaders, private landowners, business owners, and others with information about BLM processes and demonstrating why the BLM requests specific information and how it is used to process land-use applications and permits.

 "There is a lot of information regarding BLM processes, and having staff available to answer questions at a webinar like this is a great way for the BLM to improve customer service," said Canyon Country District Manager Gary Torres.
