Submitting a DOE Request

The Determination of Eligibility (DOE) project type provides the option to specific request SHPD comment on the eligibility of a property, which may be the first step in nominating a property to the Hawaii and National Registers of Historic Places. If a SHPD letter is needed about the effects of an undertaking, that is submitted as a Project 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.

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

•Supporting Documents: Any files pertaining to the request.

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

When you are ready to send your submission to SHPD, click the Submit to SHPD button in the lower right corner to send the submission to SHPD’s processing queue. You will be routed to a confirmation message in HICRIS and a “SHPD 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. SHPD will follow-up your submission with a request for further information to continue your application process.
