Use case · Permitting & Section 106 pre-consultation

Anticipate the §6E-42 and Section 106 cascade — before you file.

KILO surfaces the historic-property review a parcel will trigger — HRS §6E-42, the TOD-specific tracks, SMA, the Section 106 process for federal undertakings — so the cascade is something you planned for, not a permit-stage surprise.

The problem

The review cascade arrives after the schedule is set.

A permit application that turns out to trigger SHPD §6E-42 review — or, for a federal undertaking, the Section 106 process — resets the schedule. Consultation, fieldwork, and agency turnaround all land on a timeline that was committed before anyone knew the cascade was coming.

The triggers are knowable from public data ahead of filing. Anticipating them is the difference between scheduling the process and being surprised by it.

Before you file

Which reviews this parcel triggers — surfaced as a sequence.

KILO reads the parcel against the regulatory framework and surfaces the review pathway it triggers: HRS §6E-42 historic-property review, the TOD-specific §6E-42(d) and (h) tracks added by Act 160 (2025), Special Management Area requirements, and where a burial-council consultation becomes likely.

KILO anticipates the cascade from public data. It is a pre-consultation screen — not a §6E-42 determination, a Section 106 finding, or a substitute for SHPD review and agency consultation.
What it is — and isn't

A pre-screen that respects the process it points to.

KILO tells you, early, where historic-property review will be substantive — so you can build the months and the consultation into the plan. It does not replace the §6E-42 process, the Section 106 process, SHPD review, or consultation with descendants and agencies; it helps you arrive at them prepared.

By policy, KILO does not ingest, aggregate, or surface any data that localizes iwi kūpuna. It uses what records-holders publish and respects what HRS §6E-43.5(f) requires them to redact.
