ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the review of historic properties that could be impacted by proposed construction are based on the relevant requirements of the following: ` 36 CFR 800 with respect to the process by which a Federal agency meets its requirements under Sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) to ensure that agency assisted or licensed undertakings consider the effects of the undertaking on historic properties that are evaluated and determined eligible for listing on the National Register ` 43 CFR 10 with respect to guidelines and procedures for Federal agencies to follow in the event of inadvertent discoveries of human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony during construction projects on Federal or Native American tribal lands. Regulatory positions and specific criteria to meet the regulations identified above are as follows: ` Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) Office Letter No. 906, Revision 1, which includes guidance for complying with the requirements contained in the NHPA with respect to protection of historic properties during the construction phase and for handling inadvertent discoveries during construction (NRC 1996). NRR Office Letter No. 906 is revised periodically. Obtain a copy of the latest revision for current guidance.
