Submitting a DOE Request

The Determination of Eligibility (DOE) project type provides the option to specific request SHPO comment on the eligibility of a property, which may be the first step in nominating a property to the National Registers of Historic Places. If a SHPO letter is needed about the effects of an undertaking, that is submitted as an Environmental Review, rather than a DOE Request project type. To begin your submission, click Submit in the top navigation bar to go to the Submit home page. From either the Submit contextual menu on the left side of the screen, or from the card on the home page that describes a Nomination submission – using the ‘Visit’ link, select the DOE Request option.

There are 4 sections on the DOE Request Submission Screen:

•Contact Information: The primary and secondary contacts for the project. These contacts will receive email notifications about the project.

•Request Overview: Basic information about the project, including the context of the request.

•Resources to be Evaluated: Provide optional additional information about the Resource which is associated with this request by filling out a Resource submission form.

•Project Documents: Any files pertaining to the request.

When you are ready to send your submission to SHPO, click the Submit to SHPO button in the lower right corner to send the submission to SHPO’s processing queue. You will be routed to a confirmation message in PA-SHARE and a “SHPO Initial Consultation Submission Received” email will be sent to the contacts you entered at the beginning. The submission will appear in My Submissions as a ‘Submitted’ submission. SHPO will follow-up your submission with a request for further information to continue your application process.
