FRA is coordinating compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, and Section 4(f) of the U.S. Department of Transportation Act. A Draft Programmatic Agreement (PA) that FRA is proposing to execute to resolve the known adverse effects of the Project on historic properties is included in the SDEIS as Appendix D2. A Draft Section 4(f) Evaluation is presented in Chapter 6 of the SDEIS.
