If a Tribe responds to the notice by <br />requesting consultation. the responsible federal agency will engage in consultation with <br />tribal representatives. Such consultation will include face-to-face meetings if the Tribe so <br />requests, but may also include communication by phone, email and other means. <br /> <br />(b-3) Conduct consultation. If a tribe requests consultation the responsible <br />federal agency will initiate the consultation process. The main objectives of this <br />consultation will be to fulfill the requirements of the consultation process set out in the <br />regulations of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, 36 C.F.R. part 800, <br />including identification and evaluation of historic properties, assessment of effects, and <br />resolution of adverse effects. Because actions subject to this Consultation Plan take place <br />in a context in which a substantial amount of historic preservation work has already <br />occurred, it may be appropriate for some steps in the standard Section 106 process to be <br />abbreviated. Whether or not any of the standard steps are abbreviated, this consultation <br />shall include at least the following components: <br /> <br />- detennine the federal agencies, tribes and other entities that should be invited to <br />participate in the consultation; <br /> <br />- detennine the extent to which existing infonnation about historic properties <br />(National Register listed or eligible) is adequate, including- <br />- whether known historic properties are adequately documented or whether <br />there are characteristics of a property that are not adequately documented <br /> <br />25 <br />
