This includes the identification of any historic <br />properties (i.e. cultural resources which are eligible to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places) within <br />the area of potential effects and determining whether the undertaking will have an effect upon such properties. <br />The State Historic Preservation Office, Native American tribes, representatives of local governments, and <br />applicants for federal permits, licenses or other approval are entitled to consultative roles in this process. <br />Furthermore, it is BLM's responsibility to disseminate the "findings and determinations made during the Section <br />106 process" to the various consulting parties [36 CFR 800.2(a)(4)] and we recommend that you request a meeting <br />directly with BLM to discuss any issues or concerns that you may have. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, or if our participation is required <br />during your forthcoming meeting, please contact Mark Tobias at (303) 866 -4674 or mark.tobias @state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />-q/ Edward C.
