We do not handle any consultation or inquiries by e-mail. The information you provided was also forwarded to the additional Tribes and NHOs listed below.These Tribes and NHOs have NOT set their geographic preferences on TCNS,and therefore they are currently receiving tower notifications for the entire United States. For these Tribes and NHOs,you are required to use reasonable and good faith efforts to determine if the Tribe or NHO may attach religious and cultural significance to historic properties that may be affected by its proposed undertaking.Such efforts may include,but are not limited to,seeking information from the relevant SHPO or THPO,Indian Tribes,state agencies,the U.S.Bureau of Indian Affairs,or,where applicable,any federal agency with land holdings within the state(NPA,Section IV.B). If after such reasonable and good faith efforts,you determine that a Tribe or NHO may attach religious and cultural significance to historic properties in the area and the Tribe or NHO does not respond to TCNS notification within a reasonable time,you should make a reasonable effort to follow up,and must seek guidance from the Commission in the event of continued non-response or in the event of a procedural or substantive disagreement. If you determine that the Tribe or NHO is unlikely to attach religious and cultural significance to historic properties within the area,you do not need to take further action unless the Tribe or NHO indicates an interest in the proposed construction or other evidence of potential interest comes to your attention. 4 None The information you provided was also forwarded to the following SHPOs in the State in which you propose to construct and neighboring States. The information was provided to these SHPOs as a courtesy for their information and planning.
