Common use of Review Procedures Clause in Contracts

Review Procedures. NRCS Massachusetts and the Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Community agree to use the classification system established in Appendices A-B to determine the potential of an undertaking being planned under any NRCS Massachusetts program to affect cultural resources. Trained NRCS personnel will use the cultural resources procedures contained in Appendix D. A. In consultation with the Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Community, NRCS shall identify those undertakings with little to no potential to affect historic properties and list those undertakings in Table 1 located in Appendix A or under non-intrusive conditions in Table 2 located in Appendix B. Upon the determination that a proposed undertaking is included in Table 1 or under non-intrusive conditions in Table 2, the NRCS is not required to consult further with the Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Community for that undertaking. In consultation with the Xxxxxxxxxxx- Xxxxxx Community, NRCS shall identify those undertakings with potential to affect historic properties and list those undertakings in Appendix B. B. The list of undertakings provided in Appendices A-B may be modified through consultation and written agreement between the NRCS State Conservationist and the Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Community without requiring an amendment to this State-based Prototype Agreement. The NRCS Massachusetts state office will maintain the master list and will provide an updated list to all consulting parties with an explanation of the rationale (metadata) for classifying the practices accordingly. C. Undertakings not identified in Table 1 of Appendix A or under non-intrusive conditions in Table 2 of Appendix B shall require further review as outlined in Stipulation V.C and Appendix B.

Field personnel will use the NRCS Massachusetts Practice Description Form for Cultural Resources Review to describe planned undertakings after consulting Tables 1 and 2 of Appendices A-B. The Practice Description Form is submitted to the CRC to start the process for a determination of effect. In addition, when the CRS or a professional consultant decides that a project’s initial desktop review warrants a site visit, a Cultural Resources Report will be prepared and submitted to the Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Community’s THPO in advance, with an invitation to attend within 30 days. Hard and/or digital copies of compliance documentation for individual practices will be filed at the respective NRCS field office and the CRC’s office. i. Curation. When professional archaeological consultants undertake archaeological testing, temporary storage of the artifacts, specimens and research records shall be at their facility and maintained to professional curatorial standards, unless another curation facility is specified in consultation with the State Archaeologist. 2. The NRCS shall attempt to avoid adverse effects to historic properties whenever possible; where historic properties are located in the APE, NRCS shall describe how it proposes to modify, buffer, or move the undertaking to avoid adverse effects to historic properties.

Review Procedures. a. The NRCS Massachusetts General Manual 420, Part 401 (GM 420 Part 401) formally establishes NRCS policy regarding responsibilities to historic and cultural properties under the Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Community agree National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, its implementing regulations, 36 CFR Part 800, and other related authorities. Among other things, GM 420 Part 401 defines general and lead Federal Agency responsibilities, NRCS personnel responsibilities, consulting party responsibilities, and how the NRCS considers cultural resources in NRCS programs and activities. In addition, GM 420 Part 401 discusses the use and training of NRCS personnel and Conservation Partners for limited cultural resources identification efforts (referred to throughout this SPPA as “Planning Level Reviews”). b. The NRCS National Cultural Resources Procedures Handbook (H 190 Part 601) was developed by the NRCS in addition to GM 420 Part 401 in order to provide a procedural reference and guidance on processes the NRCS, its Conservation Partners, and its consultants use the classification system established in Appendices A-B to determine the potential of an undertaking being planned under any NRCS Massachusetts program to affect identify, evaluate and protect cultural resources. Trained NRCS personnel will use , including historic properties, in compliance with the cultural resources procedures contained in Appendix D.NHPA, 36 CFR Part 800, and other related authorities. A. c. In consultation with the Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx CommunityOregon SHPO and consulting parties, NRCS shall identify Oregon identified those undertakings with little to no potential to affect historic properties and list listed those undertakings in Table 1 located in Appendix A or under non-intrusive conditions in Table 2 located in Appendix B. of this SPPA. Upon the determination by a CRS that a proposed an undertaking is included in Table 1 or under non-intrusive conditions Appendix A and that no extenuating circumstances exist, as defined in Table 2Appendix B, the NRCS such undertakings will be considered Category I undertakings, as defined in Appendix B, and further consultation for that undertaking is not required to consult further with the Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Community for that undertaking. In consultation with the Xxxxxxxxxxx- Xxxxxx Community, by NRCS shall identify those undertakings with potential to affect historic properties and list those undertakings in Appendix B. B. The list of undertakings provided in Appendices A-B may be modified through consultation and written agreement between the NRCS State Conservationist and the Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Community without requiring an amendment to this State-based Prototype Agreement. The NRCS Massachusetts state office will maintain the master list and will provide an updated list to all consulting parties with an explanation of the rationale (metadata) for classifying the practices accordinglyOregon. C. d. Undertakings not identified in Table 1 of Appendix A or under non-intrusive conditions in Table 2 of Appendix B as Category I have the potential to impact historic properties and shall require further review as outlined in Stipulation V.C Appendix B of this SPPA. Appendix B of this document provides additional guidance on responsibilities of NRCS Oregon in the cultural resources compliance process, and Appendix B. The NRCS shall define provides additional procedures in the undertaking’s APEidentification, identify avoidance, and evaluate historic properties determination of effects on cultural resources that may be affected impacted by NRCS undertakings. e. The fundamental purpose of Appendix B is to provide guidance for use by NRCS Cultural Resources Specialists, NRCS Certified Planners, NRCS Conservation Partners, and NRCS contractors for undertakings implemented by the undertakingNRCS within the State of Oregon. These procedures, assess potential effectswhen applied in accordance with this SPPA, serve as alternative procedures to Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) regulations (i.e. substitutes for all or part of Subpart B of the regulations) pursuant to 800.14(a). These procedures provide an effective and identify strategies efficient alternative Section 106 compliance process appropriate for resolving adverse effects prior to approving the conservation technical and financial assistance for the undertakingand other activities carried out by NRCS Oregon. 1. NRCS will provide a single annual report to the Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Community containing a summary of the previous fiscal year’s cultural resources investigations, including proposed APEs, identification of historic properties and/or scope of identification efforts, and assessment of effects, provided this documentation meets the substantive standards in 36 CFR Part 800.4-5 and 800.11. Field personnel will use the NRCS Massachusetts Practice Description Form for Cultural Resources Review to describe planned undertakings after consulting Tables 1 and 2 of Appendices A-B.
