Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 22 / Friday, February 1, 2013 / Notices
comments of the Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation to the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, under
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, regarding proposed
alterations to Pawtucket Dam on the
Merrimack River in Lowell, MA.
SUMMARY: The Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) has
terminated consultation under Section
106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act regarding a proposal by
the Lowell Hydroelectric Project (Lowell
Hydro) to modify the Pawtucket Dam on
the Merrimack River in Lowell,
Massachusetts. The Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation (ACHP) will
issue advisory comments to FERC
regarding this project on February 22,
2013. The ACHP will hold a public
meeting in Lowell on February 5, 2013
to receive stakeholder and public views
regarding the effects of the project on
historic properties.
DATES: February 5, 2013, from 7:00 p.m.
to 9:00 p.m. (E.S.T).
ADDRESSES: Special Events Center,
Lowell National Historical Park, Boott
Mills, Second Floor, 115 John Street,
Lowell, MA 01852.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
T. Eddins, Program Analyst/
Archaeologist, Office of Federal Agency
Programs, Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation, 1100 Pennsylvania
Avenue NW., Suite 803, Washington,
DC 20004; Telephone: 202–606–8553; or
Email: pdcomments@achp.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FERC is in
the final stages of review of a proposal
by the Lowell Hydroelectric Project to
modify the Pawtucket Dam on the
Merrimack River in the city of Lowell,
Middlesex County, Massachusetts. In
2010, Boott Hydropower, Inc. and the
Eldred L. Field Hydroelectric Facility
Trust (Boott), co-licensees for the Lowell
Hydro Project, filed a non-capacity
amendment for its license with FERC,
proposing modifications to the dam that
would address concerns expressed by
local residents about flooding associated
with Pawtucket dam operations and also
more efficiently maintain an operating
pool for the hydroelectric facility.
As part of that review process, FERC
must comply with Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act and
its implementing regulations (Section
106), ‘‘Protection of Historic Properties’’
at 36 CFR part 800, which require that
federal agencies take into account the
effects of undertakings they carry out,
financially assist, or license on historic
properties. When, as is the case here, an
undertaking may adversely affect a
historic property but certain parties
cannot reach an agreement to resolve
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
such effects, the ACHP issues formal
comments to the head of the relevant
agency. The public meeting that is the
subject of this notice will provide an
opportunity for FERC, all consulting
parties, and the public to provide their
views to the ACHP on this undertaking.
The ACHP will consider such views as
it develops and finalizes its formal
comments.
The Pawtucket Dam is a nationally
significant historic engineering resource
listed in the National Register of
Historic Places (National Register) and
as a National Historic Landmark (NHL)
within the Lowell Locks and Canals
Historic District (LLCHD). The LLCHD
is nationally significant as
representative of America’s first great
industrial city and today encompasses
the most historically significant extant
aggregation of early 19th-century
industrial structures and artifacts in the
United States. The Pawtucket Dam is
also included as a nationally significant
structure in the Lowell Historic
Preservation District (LHPD) and the
National Park Service’s List of Classified
Structures (LCS) for Lowell National
Historic Park (LNHP), both listed on the
National Register. Stakeholders and
members of the public have expressed
concerns about the effects of the project
on Pawtucket Dam itself, the LLCHD,
LHPD, and LNHP.
On January 8, 2013, FERC determined
that agreement on how to resolve
adverse effects to these historic
properties could not be reached among
consulting parties, and requested that
the ACHP provide comments in order to
conclude the Section 106 review
process. A panel of ACHP members will
issue comments to the head of the
agency within 45 days of the request
(i.e., on or before February 22, 2013).
Once the head of FERC considers the
ACHP comments and responds to them
in accordance with the Section 106
regulations and Section 110(l) of the
National Historic Preservation Act,
FERC will have concluded the Section
106 process and may make a final
decision on the project. The head of
FERC must provide a summary of the
decision that contains a rationale for the
decision and evidence of consideration
of the ACHP’s comments, providing a
copy of the summary to the ACHP and
all consulting parties, and notifying the
public.
Priority for speaking at the public
meeting will be given to FERC, the
Massachusetts State Historic
Preservation Officer, the National Park
Service, and Boott, and then to those
who notify the ACHP of their desire to
speak in advance of the meeting via
email to pdcomments@achp.gov or fax
PO 00000

to 202–606–5072. Those interested in
speaking should provide the name and
the organization the speaker officially
represents (if any). Speakers may be
given prescribed time limits. Requests to
speak will also be taken at the meeting.
People who have not preregistered will
be allowed to speak as time permits.
The ACHP also welcomes written
comments from any party. Written
comments may be sent via mail
(addressed to the attention of John T.
Eddins, Program Analyst/Archaeologist,
Office of Federal Agency Programs,
Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation, 1100 Pennsylvania
Avenue NW., Suite 803, Washington,
DC 20004), fax (at 202–606–8672), or via
email (addressed to
pdcomments@achp.gov). All written
comments received by the ACHP on or
before 5 p.m. February 15, 2013, will be
part of the public record and reviewed
by the ACHP prior to the transmittal of
its formal comments.
