The Draft PA has been developed in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its implementing regulations under 36 CFR Part 800, and outlines the process by which DOT&PF, in coordination with consulting parties, will identify, evaluate, and resolve potential effects to historic properties associated with the project.
The public comment period begins April 23, 2026, and will close May 23, 2026. Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d), DOT&PF invites members of the public and interested organizations to review the Draft PA and provide comments during this time.

Your Role in the PA Review Process
The Draft PA establishes a framework for phased identification, evaluation, and treatment of historic properties as project design and construction progress. It also outlines procedures for consultation, monitoring, inadvertent discoveries, and ongoing reporting. DOT&PF remains committed to a thoughtful, transparent, and respectful process and appreciates the input of all participants.
Review Process
This public review is being conducted in coordination with, but is separate from, ongoing government-to-government consultation with Tribal entities under Section 106. Tribal draft PA review began in March with coordination continuing as needed. Tribal consultation remains a distinct process and is not replaced by public comment.
Public comments may be submitted through this Public Input site, an online platform where participants may review project materials and submit comments directly.
