<br />00528 <br /> <br />REVISED DRAFT (1110) - August 11,2004 <br />Clean Version <br /> <br />procedures will generally be adequate. Officials responsible for providing notice are <br />encouraged to communicate with tribes before notice is provided in order to include tribal <br />consultation items in the agenda if possible. Such early notice will also facilitate the <br />circulation of a revised agenda prior to a meeting, if necessary in response to a tribal <br />request. <br /> <br />[NOTE: Is it necessary to set a time limit for a tribal representative to request that a <br />consultation item be listed on the agenda? Since item (5) says (in response to SPAHG <br />comment memo) says that, in each meeting, the chair will ask tribal representatives if any <br />agenda item requires consultation? I don't think it's necessary. but rather than it's enough <br />to encourage raising these issues early enough to get them on the agenda but not to require <br />it,] <br /> <br />(3) Scheduling Conflicts. The Parties understand that there may be <br />individual tribal or federal activities that may make it difficult for the officially <br />designated or alternative tribal or federal agency representative to attend a given meeting. <br />All AMP stakeholders will attempt to avoid scheduling conflicts and to maximize tribal <br />participation in all meetings of tribal interest. <br /> <br />(4) Reporting to other members of the AMWG and TWG. Whenever a <br />matter before the AMWO, TWO or an ad hoc group is the subject of consultation <br />between tribal and federal representatives that is takes place outside of the AMWO, TWO <br />or ad hoc group meeting, the results of such consultation will be reported to the full <br />AMWG, TWG or ad hoc group, provided that confidential infonnation shall not be <br />disclosed. <br /> <br />D. Consultation for Specific Proposed Actions <br /> <br />[NOTE: This text was moved from part 9 of the previous draft and edited to limit <br />references to the HPP,] <br /> <br />A variety of activities taken by parties engaged in the AMP may result in effects <br />on places and resources subject to this Consultation Plan. The kinds of actions listed in <br />this section generally require consultation with tribes. It is the intent of this Consultation <br />Plan that, as much as practicable, consultation regarding any of these kinds of actions will <br />be conducted in conjunction with regular meetings pursuant to section A of this Part, and <br />to the extent such consultation is not practical, shall be conducted in special meetings <br />pursuant to section B of this Part, except as provided in subsections (2) and (3) of this <br />section. <br /> <br />(1) Kinds of Federal Actions tbat Trigger Consultation under These <br />Protocols <br /> <br />(a) Any action for which the Federal agency detennines that documentation must <br />be prepared for purposes of compliance with the National Environmental Policy <br /> <br />19 <br />
