Dear Chief Erwin:

On June 5, 2023, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) received your notification of adverse effect for the referenced undertaking that was submitted in accordance with 36 CFR 800.6(a)(1) of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and its implementing regulations, Protection of Historic Properties (36 CFR Part 800). The background documentation included with your submission did not include all of the required information specified in 36 CFR § 800.11(e) of the regulations. We, therefore, are unable to determine whether Appendix A, Criteria for Council Involvement in Reviewing Individual Section 106 Cases, applies to this undertaking. Accordingly, we request that you submit the following additional information so that we can determine whether our participation in the consultation to resolve adverse effects is warranted.

A description of the steps taken to identify historic properties; A description of the affected historic properties, including information on the characteristics that qualify them for the National Register of Historic Places; A description of the undertakings effects on historic properties; An explanation of why the criteria of adverse effect were found applicable or inapplicable, including any conditions or future actions to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects; Copies or summaries of any views provided by consulting parties, federally recognized Indian tribes; the public, and the Texas State Historic Preservation Officer.

Upon receipt of the additional information, we will notify you within 15 days of our decision.

If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Emily Choi at (202) 517-0207 or by e-mail at echoi@achp.gov and reference the ACHP Project Number above.

Sincerely, LaShavio Johnson Historic Preservation Technician Office of Federal Agency Programs
