The revision of the OREVT1 CR/TE is the result of situations which arose in 2007 when our internal form was inadvertently provided to external sources. The form is for internal use only and not intended for distribution or use outside NRCS. This includes the landowner and other agencies, including the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). In order to reduce the risk of this information being disclosed we have updated the form to add a disclaimer at the top. The heading reads; “CONFIDENTIAL – INTERNAL USE ONLY – UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE MAY VIOLATE 5 USC 552 AND /OR 36 CFR 800.11.”

The referenced code 5 USC 552, which generally makes agency business public, has an exception which allows NRCS to keep confidential anything protected from disclosure by another statute. Thus, under 5 USC 552, the Farm Bill privacy act provisions allow NRCS to keep information confidential which would otherwise be subject to public disclosure laws. The 36 CFR 800 code is the regulation for the National Historic Preservation Act. Section 800.11c has a confidentiality clause which allows NRCS to withhold from public disclosure any information about the location, character, or ownership of a cultural resource site in order to protect the site from potential damage, as well as for privacy concerns.

The form is the only form which will be accepted for cultural resource requests from this point forward. Any other version of the form received will be returned to the sender.
