N.M. Code R. § 4.10.15.21 - POPULAR REPORTS
For positive surveys of 160 acres or more, surveys that identify 10 or more sites, or whenever the cultural resources of importance or of general interest are identified, prepare a short popular summary suitable for distribution in a newspaper, newsletter or magazine. The purpose of the report is to provide information to the interested general public about the state's heritage and contributions from on-going research and studies on state land. The public disclosure of the location of archaeological sites on state and private lands is prohibited by Section 18-6-11.1 NMSA 1978. The public disclosure of the location of archaeological sites on federal lands is prohibited by 36 CFR 296.18. The report may be brief, approximately 250 to 500 words in length, and may include photographs or graphs as appropriate. The popular report shall be submitted to the state agency with the final positive survey report.
State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
