The Utah State Historic Preservation Office has gone digital. All submissions will now be handled through an online platform, termed e106.
The system is only for agency use, no consultants should use this platform unless there is pre-authorization through the SHPO or under FCC Programmatic Agreement. Standards still apply, so please consult the compliance guides above.
