R 206.211 Appeals.

Rule 211. (1) An applicant may appeal a denial of an application for certification submitted under these rules. If the appeal involves a historic preservation certification application prescribed by the National Park Service by itself, or in conjunction with a historic preservation certification application prescribed by the office, then the a p p l i c a n t shall follow the procedures set forth in 36 CFR 67.10 to appeal the federal portion of the credit. If the appeal involves an application for certification prescribed by the office by itself, then the applicant shall follow the procedures prescribed in this rule for the state credit. To file an appeal under this rule, an applicant shall submit a written appeal to the state historic preservation officer, care of the office, within 60 days from the date of the denial. The request must state “APPEAL” on its header, state the reason or reasons the applicant believes the denial should be reversed, and include all information, records, and other materials the applicant wants considered. The state historic preservation officer, or his or her delegate, shall schedule a hearing. Once a final order has been issued, an applicant has exhausted all of their administrative remedies.
