<br />00330 <br /> <br />REVISED DRAFT (# 1 O) - August \ \. 2004 <br />Clean Version <br /> <br />Programmatic Agreement This may be accomplished by notifying the Bureau of <br />Reclamation, as the lead agency for the P A, which will be responsible for providing <br />notice to the parties to the PA that are not represented in the AMWG or TWG. Any such <br />matter may be discussed in a meeting of the AMWG or TWG, but will not be resolved <br />until it has been considered by the parties to the P A. Consultation with tribal <br />representatives will generally be accomplished as provided in Part 5 of this Consultation <br />Plan. <br /> <br />PART S. CONSUL TA TlON PROTOCOLS FOR THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLAN <br /> <br />This Part ofthe Consultation Plan is concerned with historic properties and other <br />cultural resources that are addressed in the Historic Preservation Plan. The categories <br />that are used to describe the kinds of places and resources that are the subject of this Part <br />of the Consultation Plan often overlap. Accordingly, an explanation of the categories <br />used is necessary. <br /> <br />A. Explanation of Categories of Places and Resources <br /> <br />Briefly, in addition to "historic properties" as defmed in NHPA, this Part also <br />addresses places and resources that are subject to the Native American Graves Protection <br />and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), <br />and Executive Order 13007 on Indian Sacred Sites. (For summary information on the <br />requirements of each of these legal authorities, see Appendix 8.) <br /> <br />'The Final E]S used three basic categories to classifY "cultural resources": <br />"archaeological sites," "isolated occurrences," and "Native American traditional cultural <br />properties and resources." The EIS includes some discussion of human remains and other <br />"cultural items" covered by NAGPRA ("funerary objects," "sacred objects," and "objects <br />of cultural patrimony"), and says, "Potential impacts to human remains and objects are <br />addressed in the PA on Cultural Resources and the accompanying monitoring an remedial <br />action plan." Final E]S, p. 3]8. The PA on Cultural Resources, however, does not <br />expressly address human remains and cultural items covered by NAGPRA. <br /> <br />[NOTE: One commenter suggested updating the discussion that follows to refer to the <br />Traditional Cultural Property surveys being done with each Tribe. <br /> <br />The "Final Draft Information Needs" for the AMWG and TWG (Dec. 14,2001) <br />(herein "INs Document") uses a somewhat different approach to classification. As <br />discussed under Goal 11, "Preserve, protect, manage and treat cultural resources for the <br />inspiration and benefit of past, present and future generations," the INs Document uses <br />two categories: "historic properties" and "traditionally important resources," The term <br />"historic properties" as used in the INs Document means properties that are eligible for <br />the National Register and includes both archaeological sites and traditional cultural <br />properties. The term "traditionally important resources" is used to describe resources that <br /> <br />21 <br />
