If a qualified professional has recommended a “no historic properties present” determination, then the applicant should provide supporting documentation in the ER. If a qualified professional has recommended a finding of no adverse effect to historic properties based on the implementation of protective measures to minimize or avoid these effects, the applicant should formalize these protective measures in a protection plan in consultation with SHPO and other consulting parties and document this within the ER. If a qualified professional determines that adverse effects to historic properties occur, the applicant should informally engage with the SHPO and affected American Indian tribes, local government, members of the public, and other affected parties and document this determination in the ER. The ER should describe any procedures and cultural resource management plans to protect historic and cultural resources during operations, as well as any measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects. These procedures should also include steps to take in the event of inadvertent discoveries, including the discovery of human remains. The applicant should be aware that the NRC staff will also be consulting with the SHPO, affected American Indian tribes and interested parties through the Section 106 process. If the NRC determines an adverse effect will occur, it will in accordance with Part 800 develop proposed measures in consultation with the identified consulting parties that might avoid, minimize, or mitigate such
