Sec. 63.3  Procedures to be applied when the Agency and the State Historic 
Preservation Officer agree a property is eligible.

    If during the consultation described in Sec. 63.2(c), both the 
agency and the State Historic Preservation Officer agree that a property 
meets the Criteria, the Federal agency or the State Historic 
Preservation Officer shall forward to the Keeper of the National 
Register (a) a letter signed by the agency stating that the agency and 
the State Historic Preservation Officer agree that the property is 
eligible for inclusion in the National Register, and (b) a statement 
signed by the State Historic Preservation Officer that in his opinion 
the property is eligible for the National Register. Either the letter or 
the statement must contain substantive information on the property, 
including a description, specific boundaries, its significance under 
National Register Criteria, and an explanation of why the property is 
eligible for listing in the National Register. The Keeper of the 
National Register shall give written notice of his determination to both 
the agency and the State Historic Preservation Officer within 10 working 
days of receipt. If the property has not been accurately identified and 
evaluated, the Keeper will inform the agency and the State Historic 
Preservation Officer within 10 working days and will recommend that the 
agency follow the process set forth at Sec. 63.2. Notwithstanding such 
recommendation, the Federal agency or the Keeper of the National 
Register may consider the property eligible for the purpose of obtaining 
the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's comments. Documentation 
concerning properties determined eligible for the National Register 
shall be kept on file by the agency and the State Historic Preservation 
Officer.
