This includes the identification <br />of any historic properties (i.e. cultural resources which are eligible for or are listed in the NRHP) <br />within the area of potential effects and determining whether the undertaking will have an effect <br />upon such properties. The State Historic Preservation Office, Native American tribes, <br />representatives of local governments, and applicants for Federal permits, licenses or other approval <br />are entitled to consultative roles in this process. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Shina <br />duVall, Section 106 Compliance Manager, at (303) 866-4674 or shina.duvall@chs.state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />0 0 Edward C.
