The procedural State Protocol Agreement between the Bureau of Land Management, Nevada (BLM) and the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) calls for an annual report of BLM activities under the protocol. The annual report’s contents are established in Appendix A of the Agreement. It is now time to develop the information for FY 2008 report. A spreadsheet has been included to standardize some required reporting elements.
Specifically, the protocol requires that each District Office provide the State Office with the following specific information:
A. A narrative assessment of the SHPO/BLM relationship and the value of this protocol, including any suggested changes to this document.
B. Copies of NEPA logs by Field Office (annotated to show which undertakings were authorized as categorical exemptions including the exemption under which they were authorized).
C. A list of eligible properties, by undertaking and site number, functional site type and the criteria under which the sites are eligible, by Field Office; information is to be entered on Part 1 – NRHP ELIG of the attachment and returned to this office in hard copy and in electronic format.
D. A list of properties determined ineligible, by undertaking and site number, further categorized by historic and prehistoric sites, by Field Office; information is to be entered on Part 2 – NOT ELIG of the attachment and returned to this office in hard copy and in electronic format. And,
E. A list by Field Office of reports, by undertaking and report number, not submitted within the 30 day time limit, and a schedule for their completion and submission; information is to be entered on Part 3 – BACKLOG RPT of the attachment and returned to this office in hard copy and in electronic format.
The State Office will consolidate the information provided by the Field Offices and send the report to the SHPO. Therefore each Field Office shall gather the above information for FY 2008, in electronic format as much as possible, and send it to Tom Burke, NV-933, by COB January 16, 2009.
