SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act requires Federal 

agencies to consider the effects of their 

undertakings on historic properties and 

provide the Advisory Council on 

Historic Preservation (ACHP) a 

reasonable opportunity to comment 

with regard to such undertakings. ACHP 

has issued the regulations that set forth 

the process through which Federal 

agencies comply with these duties. 

Those regulations are codified under 36 

CFR part 800 (‘‘Section 106 

regulations’’). 

Under Section 800.14(e) of those 

regulations, agencies can request ACHP 

to provide a ‘‘Program Comment’’ on a 

particular category of undertakings in 

lieu of conducting individual review of 

each individual undertaking under such 

category, as set forth in 36 CFR 800.4 

through 800.6. An agency can meet its 

Section 106 responsibilities for those 

undertakings by taking into account 

ACHP’s Program Comment and by 

following the steps set forth in those 

comments. 

On August 18, 2006, the Advisory 

Council on Historic Preservation 

approved and issued to the Department 

of Defense a Program Comment on 

World War II and Cold War era (1939–

1974) Ammunition Storage Facilities, 

and a Program Comment on Cold War 

era (1946–1974) Unaccompanied 

Personnel Housing. The Program 

Comments pertain to all buildings and 

structures designed and built as 

ammunition storage facilities (DoD Real 

Property category group 42XXXX) 

within the years 1939–1974, and all 

buildings and structures that were 

designed and built as Unaccompanied 

Personnel Housing (DoD) Real Property 

category group 72XXXX) in the years 

1946–1974. The Program Comments 

include treatment measures for the 

following undertakings for these two 

categories of properties: ongoing 

operations, maintenance and repair; 

rehabilitation; renovation; mothballing; 

cessation of maintenance, new 

construction, demolition; 

deconstruction and salvage; remediation 

activities; and transfer, sale, lease, and 

closure of such facilities. The 

Department of the Navy has taken into 

account the Advisory Council on 

Historic Preservation’s Program 

Comment on World War II and Cold 

War era (1939–1974) Ammunition 

Storage Facilities, and the Program 

Comment on Cold War ear (1946–1974) 

Unaccompanied Personnel Housing, 

and accepts and adopts these Program 

Comments. The Department of the Navy 

ensures that the effects of these 

undertakings on these categories of 

historic properties is taken into account 

by execution of the steps identified as 

treatment measures in the Program 

Comments, Sections II.B. Treatment 

measures vary by property type. For 

Cold War era Unaccompanied Housing, 

the Department of the Navy will prepare 

a supplemental context study that will 

be an appendix to the Army’s existing 

study, ‘‘Unaccompanied Personnel 

Housing (UPH) During the Cold War 

(1946–1989).’’ For World War II and 

Cold War era Ammunition Storage 

Facilities, the Department of the Navy 

will prepare a supplemental historic 

context study that will an appendix to 

the Army’s existing context study, 

‘‘Army Ammunition and Explosives 

Storage in the United States. 1775–

1945’’. The Department of the Navy will 

also prepare documentation of 

ammunition storage facilities at four 

installations, to include three Navy 

installations and one Marine Corps 

installations. The Department of the 

Navy will also prepare documentation 

of Cold War era Unaccompanied 

Personnel Housing at four installations, 

to include three Navy installations and 

one Marine Corps installation. The full 

text of the Program Comments can be 

found on the DENIX Web site at

The Department of the Navy also 

announces the availability of the final 

Environmental Assessment (EA) and 

signed Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) for the Program Comment 

process. Notice of the availability of the 

draft EA and FONSI was published in 

the Federal Register on October 26,
