description: This document is a Section 106 letter from the California State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to Vandenberg Air Force Base (Vandenberg AFB) regarding the United States Air Force's (USAF) proposal to upgrade electrical feeder lines B7 and B10 in Vandenberg's north base area and feeder line K5 on Vandenberg's south base. This letter is in response to the transmittal letter of July 25, 2017, initially opening consultation for the project. The letter briefly reiterates information provided in the initial transmittal letter from Vandenberg AFB, including project activities associated with the project and historic property identification efforts conducted by the USAF in support of the Section 106 process. The letter reiterates that, through consensus, CA-SBA-2426 was previously determined ineligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The letter also includes SHPO's comments on USAF's determination of no historic properties affected for this project and specifically provides concurrence on the following: 1) the APE appears sufficient to take the undertaking's effects on historic properties into account; 2) CA-SBA-3575H is not eligible for NRHP inclusion; and 3) a finding of no historic properties affected is appropriate.
