The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) are seeking public comment on a proposed programmatic delegation agreement for Section 106 activities in transportation. The proposed agreement will affect much of PennDOT's cultural resource management program and anyone with an interest should take the time to review the draft agreement and the supporting documents and provide PennDOT with comments, questions, concerns and suggestions.  

The proposed agreement will replace and expand on the existing Minor Projects Programmatic Agreement. The public is encouraged to review and comment on the draft agreement by April 15th, 2009.

Please visit the PennDOT Cultural Resources Management Program website to review:
-An Orientation to the Agreement

-Frequently Asked Questions about the Draft Agreement
-Comments and Responses from Consulting Parties

Please provide comments in writing via e-mail, post, FAX or verbally by April 15th, 2009 to:
