3/21/80 5050.4 1 An initial review shall be made to determine if any properties in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places are within the area of the proposed action's potential environmental impact. The "area of the proposed action's potential environmental impact" is that geographic area within which direct and indirect impacts generated by the proposed action could reasonably be expected to occur and thus cause'a, change in the historic, architectural, archeological, or -cultural qualities possessed by the property. The National Register criteria shall be applied to all such identified properties. The Secretary of the Interior will advise, upon request, whether properties are eligible for the National Register. If no properties in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register have been identified within the area of the proposed action's environmental impact, this information shall be documented in the environmental assessment with the letter from the State Historic Preservation Officer and a record of any other analysis or survey undertaken. No further analysis is needed. a To aid in identifying properties, the Heritage Conservation and Recreatio- n Service publishes the complete National Register listing each February in the Federal Register with updates each month. In addition, the State Historic Preservation Officer must be consulted for advice. State Historic Preservation Officer coordination may be accomplished through the A-95 process. Assistance may also be obtained from local officials, historical societies, museums, or academic institutions having jurisdiction or expertise with regard to such properties. b If the State Historic Preservation Officer rec- ommends the need for a pro- fessional cultural resource survey of the environmental impact area, the airport sponsor shall contact the FAA for a determination on whether such a survey is required for the environmental assessment. The FAA, in making this determination, should follow the recommendations of the -State Historic Preservation Officer if the Officer provides good reason for believing that previously unidentified eligible historic, architectural, archeological, or cultural properties are within the area of the proposed action's environmental impact. 2 If any property in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register has been identified within the area of the proposed action's environmental impact, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Procedures for the Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties shall be used to determine if the proposed action will have any effect on the property. Initially the Criteria of Effect (36 C.F.R. Part 800.3(a)) shall be applied in consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer. If this criteria indicates and the Officer agrees that the proposal would not directly or indirectly affect those historic, architectural, archeological, or cultural characteristics of the property that qualified it to meet National Register criteria, a Determination of No Effect shall be documented in the environmental assessment with the relevant State Historic Preservation Officer letter. No further analysis is needed. If the airport sponsor and the State Historic Preservation Officer disagree on a proposed Determination of No Effect, the matter shall be referred to the FAA for resolution. Chap 5 Par 47 Page 39
