Utah Admin. Code R652-60-400 - Identifying Historic Properties

1. Following the division's determination that a proposed sovereign land use constitutes an undertaking the division shall establish the undertaking's area of potential effects. Thereafter, the division shall review existing information about historic properties that may be affected by the undertaking. As part of this process, the division may seek information from the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), Indian tribes, local governments, state or federal agencies or any other interested parties likely to have knowledge or concerns about cultural resources in the area. The division may delegate this collection of information to an appropriate person.

2. Based on this assessment, the division shall determine whether a field survey will be required to identify historic properties. The division shall notify the SHPO if a survey will not be required, or if the proposed survey is less than a Class III Cultural Resource Survey.

3. If the division determines that a field survey will be required, the division shall make a reasonable and good faith effort to identify historic properties that might be affected by an undertaking and shall gather sufficient information to evaluate the eligibility of these properties for the National Register.
