Iowa Admin. Code r. 261-414.6 - Level of effort required to identify historic properties
(1) The level of effort required to meet the
"reasonable and good faith" standard in Section 106 review is set forth in
36 CFR §
800.4. The level of effort required shall be
based on past planning, research and studies; the magnitude and nature of the
undertaking and the degree of federal involvement; the nature and extent of
potential effects on historic properties; and the likely nature and location of
historic properties within the APE and may consist of any combination of
background research, consultations, oral history interviews, sample field
investigations and field surveys. In order to balance the mission and needs of
a federal agency and its proposed project, the SHPO shall balance the level of
effort and resources necessary to identify and preserve archaeological sites
with the project benefits, costs, schedules and local issues that, in part,
comprise the broader public interest.
(2) In response to the agency's request for
consultation, the SHPO shall base any recommendation for the identification of
historic properties upon a review of the documentation provided by an agency
pursuant to the reasonable and good-faith standard in conformance with the
factors set forth in 36 CFR
§
800.4(b)(1).
(3) It is the statutory obligation of the
federal agency to fulfill the requirements of Section 106.
(4) The level of effort required of rural
electric cooperatives and municipal utilities shall be consistent with the
requirements set forth in Iowa Code section 15.122.
