CULTURAL PROPERTIES REVIEW COMMITTEE

PUBLIC RULE HEARING AND REGULAR BOARD MEETING

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Cultural Properties Review Committee (CPRC) will convene a public hearing on Friday, April 17, 2020 at 1:00 pm in the Old Senate Chambers, Room 238 in the Bataan Memorial Building, 407 Galisteo Street, Santa Fe, NM 87501. Following the hearing, the CPRC will convene a board meeting to adopt the rule and take care of regular board business.

The purpose of the hearing is to consider repealing and replacing rule 4.10.17 NMAC, Standards for Monitoring. The CPRC proposes to repeal and replace the rule in order to facilitate the effective administration of permits for archaeological monitoring on state land.

The statutory authority for the proposed changes to 4.10.17 NMAC is found in Section 18-6-5(O) NMSA 1978 of the Cultural Properties Act. The CPRC is considering the adoption of a new rule 4.10.17 NMAC in order to clarify when archaeological monitoring plans are necessary, add a section on the review of monitoring plans, clarify the process for review of monitoring reports, and add a section on curation of collections and records.

The proposed rule is available at the Historic Preservation Division (HPD) website, www.nmhistoricpreservation.org, and at the HPD office located in the Bataan Memorial Building, 407 Galisteo Street, Suite 236, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501. To request that a copy of the proposed rule be mailed to you, submit your request in writing to Historic Preservation Division, 407 Galisteo Street, Suite 236, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501, by email to nm.shpo@state.nm.us, or via fax to (505) 827-6338.
