For nominations originating with other interested parties, those parties are required to confer with the acquiring Federal agency far enough in advance of the nomination submittal date to allow that agency sufficient time to do the required site visit and confirm the presence of sensitive resources. Failure to confer with the agency at least 30 days prior to the submittal date for nominations can result in rejection of the nomination by the acquiring Federal agency at its sole discretion.
