FY 2000 Cultural Resource Management (CRM) Program Annual Report
DD: 11/1/2000; 11/15/2000
The Washington Office (WO) is again requesting the assistance of Field Offices in completing the
CRM Program Annual Report. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is required to compile
this information to comply with the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 (P.L. 96-95;
93 Stat. 721; 16 U.S.C. 470 aa et seq.) and the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (P.L. 89­
665; 80 Stat. 915; 16 U.S.C. 470). The data is assembled and submitted to the National Park
Service (NPS) to enable them to complete the “Secretary of the Interior’s Report to Congress on
Federal Archaeological Activities.” The data is also used to complete the Public Land Statistics
(PLS), the Chief Financial Officers and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act reports,
“Public Rewards from Public Lands” report, as well as occasionally respond to Congressional
inquiries.
In addition to the above requirements, the Washington Office Cultural Heritage Group (WO-240)
recently released its Strategic Paper, “BLM Cultural Resources At Risk” (June 2000). This paper
acknowledges that the threat to BLM cultural resources has become a crisis, and outlines various
measures that should be instituted to stem the destruction of our Nation’s vanishing cultural legacy.
Among the measures outlined is one to expand the existing cultural heritage program annual report
to provide additional State program statistics and highlight successful proactive efforts. To achieve
this objective, we are requesting detailed information on your State’s most significant
accomplishments (see below).
The publication schedules for the FY 2000 PLS and “Public Rewards from Public Lands” reports
will continue to be very tight. Following the convention that was followed the last several years,
the WO-240 is requesting that States submit PLS-related data on acres of BLM-administered
surface inventoried, (Attachment 1, question I.D), properties recorded on BLM-administered
surface (Attachment 1, question I.F), and cultural resource use permits in effect (Attachment 1,
question V.A) be submitted by November 1, 2000. This is the same information required for the
“Public Rewards from Public Lands” report.
The remainder of the Annual Report, including narratives, is due on November 15, 2000. State
Offices are asked to complete the attached questionnaire (Attachment 1), as well as provide
information in narrative or tabular form, according to the following headings. Please keep your
responses short and concise.
State Highlights. Summarize major annual accomplishments in the CRM program, including
implementation of the National Programmatic Agreement, Native American coordination and
consultation, collections management and NAGPRA inventories, major inventories and
excavations, CRM publications and brochures, outreach efforts, etc. States should provide detailed
information (i.e., 2-3 paragraphs) on their top 4 or 5 accomplishments, along with graphics to
illustrate the work completed. On the less significant work, States should limit the information
provided to short bullets.
Public Outreach. Discuss your State's efforts at promoting public education and awareness of the
Bureau's cultural heritage.
Cooperative Management Agreements/Challenge Cost Share Projects. Provide a tabular summary
of reporting year cooperative management agreements and challenge cost share projects. Calculate
both the BLM and the cooperator input (e.g., money, staff time, volunteer time, materials, etc.)
Briefly describe the work accomplished (e.g., inventory, excavation, analysis, outreach) and its
location (e.g., name of site or locale where work took place). Colorado should describe the Anasazi
Heritage Center's accomplishments in a separate attachment.
LOOT Forms. Complete the NPS Listing of Outlaw Treachery (LOOT) forms (Attachment 2) for
any archaeological looting incident.
National Register of Historic Places. Please update your State's list of National Register properties
(Attachment 3). Please review the National Park Service’s on-line National Register information at
http://www.nr.nps.gov.nrishome.htm to identify any properties you may have missed.
The reporting unit is each State Office. Please ensure internal consistency with data provided in
previous fiscal years. Also, please coordinate with the Special-Agent-in-Charge in the completion
of Section VI-Enforcement.
A copy of the consolidated Cultural Resources Management Report for FY 99 is being mailed
under separate cover to the BLM's State cultural heritage program leads. Any questions on the
report should be directed to Richard Brook at (202) 452-0326 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Expires: 09/30/2001
To:
All State Directors
Attn: Cultural Heritage Program Leaders
From:
Assistant Director, Renewable Resources & Planning
Subject:
Development of Cultural Heritage Program Strategic Plan
DD: 07/31/2000; 09/30/2000
The Washington Office, Cultural Heritage, Wilderness, Special Areas & Paleontology Group
(WO-240) recently released its Strategic Paper, “Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Cultural
Resources At Risk” (June 2000). This paper acknowledges that the threat to BLM’s cultural
resources has become a crisis, and that urgent action is required on BLM’s part to avoid having our
Nation’s vanishing cultural legacy relegated to the mantelpiece of posterity.
One followup action being implemented is development of a “step-down” Cultural Heritage
Program Strategic Plan, which will be a supplement to the Bureau’s Strategic Plan. The Cultural
Heritage Plan will provide details on how the BLM intends to meet its proactive obligations under
Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act and Section 14 of the Archaeological
Resources Protection Act, and achieve the numerical targets in the Bureau’s Strategic Plan.
This Instruction Memorandum outlines information States are being asked to provide for
development of the Cultural Heritage Plan, and establishes two due dates for submission of this
information.
By July 31, 2000, all BLM State Offices are asked to provide preliminary descriptive lists of their
priority inventory (Program Element “BC”) and protection (Program Element “HF”) projects for
Fiscal Year (FY) 2001, naming specific places and sites where they will conduct this work and the
units of work which will be accomplished; this information is required for development of the FY
2001 Annual Work Plan. Each State has been assigned a numerical target for these program
elements for FY 2001, split out between cultural resources and paleontology (Attachment 1), which
will be achieved within existing funding. The criteria States should apply in identifying and
ranking their critical protection and inventory needs and the format to be followed are shown in
Attachment 2.
The ranking of the inventory and protection projects should be completed by the 2 State’s Deputy
Preservation Officer (DPO), using input supplied by each BLM Field Office. States must indicate
how they will achieve their minimum targets, although they are encouraged to identify areas and
units of work that will allow them to exceed these targets. The DPOs are required only to indicate
how they will achieve their cultural units, not the paleontological ones.
By September 30, 2000, All BLM State Offices are asked to submit the detailed information
outlined in Attachment 3, not to exceed 4 pages in length. Each of the itemized points must be
addressed, although States will need to work with the WO on the submission of graphics and
pictures for their States.
For further information about the Cultural Heritage Program Strategic Plan, please contact Richard
Brook at (202) 452-0326 or e-mail him at [email protected].
