The State Historic Preservation Office, Native American tribes, representatives <br />of local governments, and applicants for Federal permits, licenses or other approval are entitled to consultative <br />roles in this process <br />We request being involved in the consultation process with the local government, which as stipulated in 36 <br />CFR 800.3 is required to be notified of the undertaking, and with other consulting parties. Additional <br />information provided by the local government or consulting parties might cause our office to re-evaluate our <br />eligibility and potential effect findings. Please note that our compliance letter does not end the 30 -day review <br />period provided to other consulting parties. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
