N.M. Code R. § 4.10.10.17 - PROCESS FOR CERTIFICATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
A. The chief elected local official of the
appropriate local governing body shall request certification from the HPD. The
request shall include:
(1) a written assurance
that the local government has fulfilled all of the requirements outlined
above;
(2) a copy of the local
historic preservation ordinance;
(3) a list and accompanying maps of the areas
designated as historic districts or individual landmarks within the local
government's jurisdiction;
(4)
resumes for each of the members of the historic preservation review commission;
and
(5) a written provision that
the local government will provide for a consultant who meets the secretary of
interior's professional qualification standards to assist the commission, if
needed.
B. The SHPO
shall respond to the chief elected local official within 60 calendar days of
receipt of an adequately documented written request. If the SHPO determines
that the local government fulfills the requirements for certification, the SHPO
will forward the decision to the United States secretary of the interior, or
designee. The secretary of the interior has 15 working days from receipt to
take exception to the certification. The SHPO shall respond to the local
government within 15 working days of the secretary's response.
C. When a local government's certification
request has been approved in accordance with this rule, the HPD shall prepare a
written certification agreement that lists the specific responsibilities of the
local government. The responsibilities shall include the four minimum
requirements and duties as outlined in Section 4.10.10.10 NMAC above and shall
also include any additional responsibilities required by legislation or any
additional duties delegated to all CLGs in New Mexico.
D. The HPD will forward to the secretary a
copy of the approved request and the certification agreement. If the secretary
does not take exception to the request or the agreement within 15 working days
of receipt, the local government shall be regarded as certified.
