c. District-wide Priority Plan. To accomplish inventories and site evaluations in an
orderly and cost effective manner, district commanders should prepare for in-house use, a brief
district wide plan for meeting historic preservation objectives at all operational projects under his
jurisdiction. This plan should briefly assess and summarize problems and requirements, establish
broad priorities, and identify gross estimated funding requirements by project(s) and year(s) to
accomplish necessary inventory and site evaluations. This plan must consider such work already
accomplished, and may benefit from input from the appropriate SHPO(s). This is to be a flexible
and dynamic "working" document, intended to assist the district in organizing, planning, and
structuring future efforts. As such, it should be changed and updated as required to aid the
overall planning effort. Copies should be provided to the MSC Commander for review and
comment. CENED and CEPOD shall submit plans to CECW-ON for review and comment.
d. Letter Reports. Not later than one year after final publication of this guidance, each
District Commander should prepare an initial Letter Report on Historic Preservation objectives to
include all operational projects within his jurisdiction. The purpose of this Letter Report is to
provide a systematic and comprehensive long-term plan to complete historic property inventories
and site evaluations required for each operational project in order to prepare the Historic Property
Management Plan (HPMP) for each project. Smaller units or sub elements of a single, larger
