H-8120-1 - GUIDELINES FOR CONDUCTING TRIBAL CONSULTATION – (Public)
Consultation procedures. If the tribe's response to the notification is a request for further
information or consultation, then consultation should be expeditiously undertaken
consistent with the procedural requirements and timeframes contained in 43 CFR 7.7(a)(3),
Manual Section 8150, and Chapter IV of this Handbook.
When permit-related consultation will be taking place, it should be appropriate in most
cases to use that opportunity to consult prospectively with regard to NAGPRA (see II.C.),
to develop procedures to be followed in case human remains and cultural items are
discovered.
Decision and documentation. Following consultation, the Federal land manager
determines the nature, location, and timing of the field excavation and analysis methods
that will be authorized in a permit. When decisions about field work and laboratory
analyses do not conform with the requests of Indian tribes, the manager should always
document the reasons in the permit file and notify the tribes of the outcome and its basis.
