Subject: Weekly Notice of Tower Construction Notification System Filings For Positive Train Control Wayside Facilities - Email ID #

Dear Tribal Leader:

The Federal Communications Commission extends its greetings to you. Thank you for using our Tower Construction Notification System (TCNS).

This letter is a notice of proposed positive train control (PTC) wayside pole construction notifications submitted by railroads within the last week,

which match the geographic area(s) for which you have chosen to receive such notifications.

In the Program Comment to Govern Review of Positive Train Control Facilities Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (PTC

Program Comment), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation adopted special procedures tailored to PTC wayside poles. The PTC Program

Comment takes into account the time-sensitive public safety objectives of PTC as well as the need to protect historic properties, including Tribal

traditional cultural properties. Therefore, we respectfully request that you respond within no more than 30 days with any recommendations or

comments regarding the effect on historic properties of each of the proposed constructions listed below, including any need for additional

information. Within this time period, the railroads that have submitted the notifications are encouraged to contact you to schedule meetings to

discuss the adequacy of their submissions and potential avoidance, minimization, and mitigation strategies (including the need for monitoring). You

may respond either through the TCNS as described at the end of this Notice, directly to the entity submitting the notification, or by contacting one of

the FCC employees listed below. If you are unable to reach an agreement with the railroad on any disputed matter within 10 business days after the

end of the 30-day period, you or the railroad may refer the matter to the FCC with a copy to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.

Please also be aware that, pursuant to the Best Practices guidance document between the FCC and United South and Eastern Tribes (USET) that

was released in October 2004, the USET member Tribes have agreed to a recommended best practice to respond to "initial contact" notifications

within 14 days. Created with the input of Tribal Nations and Tribal organizations from across Indian Country, and recognizing that cultural

preservation processes vary greatly among the many Tribal Nations, the TCNS was designed to facilitate the initial contact process.

The following list indicates the geographic area(s) of interest which you have indicated to receive notifications of proposed communications facilities

constructions, including PTC wayside facilities:

The Tower Construction Notification Submissions for PTC wayside facilities received during the last week, which match your areas of interest, are

listed and detailed below.

Subject: NOTICE OF ORGANIZATION(S) WHICH WERE SENT PROPOSED TOWER CONSTRUCTION NOTIFICATION INFORMATION

REGARDING POSITIVE TRAIN CONTROL WAYSIDE FACILITIES - Email ID #

Dear Sir or Madam:

Thank you for using the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Tower Construction Notification System (TCNS) for your proposed Positive

Train Control (PTC) wayside poles in GARFIELD, Nebraska.

The purpose of this electronic mail message is to inform you that the following authorized persons were sent the information you provided through

TCNS, which relates to your proposed wayside facilities. The information was forwarded by the FCC to authorized TCNS users by electronic mail

and/or regular mail (letter).

Persons who have received the information that you provided include leaders or their designees of federally-recognized American Indian Tribes,

including Alaska Native Villages (collectively "Tribal Nations"), and State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs). For your convenience in identifying

the referenced Tribal Nations and in making further contacts, the City and State of the Seat of Government for each Tribal Nation, as well as the

designated contact person, is included in the listing below. We note that Tribal Nations may have Section 106 cultural interests in ancestral

homelands or other locations that are far removed from their current Seat of Government. Pursuant to the Commission's rules as set forth in the

Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for Review of Effects on Historic Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal

Communications Commission (NPA) and the procedures adopted in the Program Comment to Govern Review of Positive Train Control Facilities

Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (PTC Program Comment), all Tribal Nations listed below must be afforded a

reasonable opportunity to respond to this notification, consistent with the procedures set forth below, unless the proposed construction falls within an

exclusion designated by the Tribal Nation.

The information you provided was forwarded to the following Tribal Nations. Pursuant to the PTC Program Comment, these Tribal Nations are

afforded 30 days from the date of notification to review your submission and make recommendations and comments, including requests for

additional necessary information. During this period, you are encouraged to schedule meetings or phonecalls with the Tribal Nations referenced

below to discuss the adequacy of your submission and potential avoidance, minimization, and mitigation strategies (including the need for

monitoring). In the event a Tribal Nation does not respond to your notification and outreach efforts within the 30-day period, you may refer the

matter to the FCC through TCNS. You may then proceed without the Tribal Nation's further participation unless the FCC directs otherwise within 10

business days. If you are unable to reach an agreement with a Tribal Nation regarding any disputed matter within the 30-day period, you shall notify

the FCC through TCNS that additional dialogue with the Tribal Nation is required. If you are unable to reach an agreement with the affected Tribal

Nation within an additional 10 business days, you may refer the matter to the FCC through TCNS and send a copy of your referral to the Advisory

Council on Historic Preservation.

Subject: Confirmation - Referral of Positive Train Control Wayside Facilities - Email ID #2106395

Dear Applicant,

Your referral or notice to the FCC regarding proposed Positive Train Control wayside pole construction has been successfully submitted via the

Tower Construction Notification System. You have provided this referral or notice for the reason(s) indicated below. If this is a referral because one

or more Tribal Nations have not responded to your initial contact within 30 days, you need not involve those Tribal Nations further in the Section 106

review process for these poles unless otherwise directed by the FCC within 10 business days. If this is a notice because you have not resolved

issues with one or more Tribal Nations within 30 days after your initial contact, you must continue discussions with the relevant Tribal Nation(s) for a

minimum of 10 additional business days. If this is a referral because you have been unable to resolve issues with one or more Tribal Nations within

10 business days after the initial 30-day period, the FCC will advise you after considering this referral as to how to proceed. In this instance, you

must also send a copy of your referral to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.
