Under this regulation, the Federal agency is required to identify and evaluate all historic properties in the project area and take measures to mitigate adverse effects as being significant. ` 36 CFR 63 contains guidance by which historic properties are evaluated and determined eligible for listing on the National Register. Regulatory positions and specific criteria necessary to meet the regulations identified above are provided as follows: ` Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) Office Letter No. 906, Revision 1 (NRC 1996) contains guidance for complying with the requirements contained in the National Historic Preservation Act.
