10/22/13: In late September, the Hawai‘i State Historic Preservation Division submitted its interim progress report on steps to take remedial action under the federally-mandated Corrective Action Plan 2. The submittal was in response to the National Park Service finding in May that the State has not adequately met the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act. The State’s submittal included work plans for the Archaeology, Architecture and Information Technology sections; survey plans for archaeology and architecture; a draft strategic plan for the cultural resources GIS; and a fiscal update.
The National Park Service replied to the submittal acknowledging the progress, especially in the areas of GIS and archaeology. NPS expressed concern about lack of required information in the plans for information technology and architecture, and also noted that the submittal lacked addition required information. NPS also noted that additional items are due in May 2014 that should be in progress at this time.
The Corrective Action Plan and federal review of the state’s program has been underway since March 2010.
