Abstract:
FCC staff, State Historic Preservation Officers ("SHPO"), Tribal Historic Preservation Officers ("THPO"), and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation ("ACHP") use the data to take such action as may be necessary to ascertain whether a proposed action may affect historic properties that are listed or eligible for listing in the National Register as directed by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the Commission's rules, including properties of Tribal significance.
Emergency Justfication:
In accordance with OMB’s emergency processing rules, 5 C.F.R. § 1320(13), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) requests expedited review and approval, under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), of a revision to OMB collection 3060-1039, “Nationwide Programmatic Agreement Regarding the Section 106 National Historic Preservation Act - Review Process, WT Docket No. 03-128.” We request emergency approval be granted on or before April 9, 2014 in order to allow us meet the requirements imposed on the Nation’s freight and commuter railroads by the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA). In the Spring of 2013, the FCC received notice from the Nation’s freight railroads that they will need to construct more than 20,000 wayside poles and associated communications equipment in order to comply with the RSIA. The RSIA requires installation of positive train control (PTC) systems by December 31, 2015. PTC is a public-safety system that will enable a central station to stop or slow trains that exceed speed limits or that are approaching other trains where a collision may result. The FCC has determined that the construction of PTC transmission facilities and their supporting structures is a Federal undertaking under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. As such, the railroads are required to ascertain prior to construction the impacts of these facilities on historic properties under the relevant procedures set forth by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and the FCC. To accommodate the PTC infrastructure deployment by the statutory deadline, the FCC is requesting approval of minor revisions to our E-106 System and Tower Construction Notification System (TCNS), which collect information on infrastructure projects to be shared with Tribal Nations and State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) for the purposes of Section 106 compliance reviews.
