STATE PROTOCOL AGREEMENT AMONGState Protocol Agreement • June 30th, 2015
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) executed a national Programmatic Agreement (nPA), on February 9, 2012, (Part 2) with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and the National Council of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO). The nPA governs the manner in which the BLM shall meet its responsibilities under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and directs each BLM State Director (SD) to develop a mutually agreed upon Protocol with each State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) in their respective jurisdictions. The nPA encourages BLM SDs and SHPOs to develop mutually agreed upon BLM-SHPO protocols regulating their relationship and how consultation will take place by establishing streamlined (as opposed to case-by-case) consultations. Since California BLM administers land in California and Nevada, this Protocol has been negotiated by the California SD of the BLM with the California SHPO (CASHPO) and the Nevada SHPO (NVSHPO).
