nt should describe the effects of building activities on any established resource dependencies, cultural practices, or subsistence behaviors at or in the vicinity of the site, or at offsite areas. The discussion should conclude with a determination of whether or not disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects occur as a result of building the proposed project. The ER should address potential mitigation actions or other mitigating factors that would reduce negative impacts. Such information may include, but is not limited to: • subsistence behavior (i.e., hunting, fishing, or other natural resource exploitation as an income supplement), • unique cultural practices (e.g., American Indian religious and ceremonial reliance on natural resources such as sweet grasses, fish, and wild rice), DG-4026, Page 72 • special circumstances or unique characteristics, (e.g., minority communities identifiable in compact (smaller than a Census block group) locations, such as American Indian communities); and • any disproportionately high socioeconomic characteristic (e.g., a high dependence on pedestrian transportation). 4.6 Historic and Cultural Resources Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (NHPA) (54 U.S.C. 300101 et seq.), requires that Federal agencies consider the effects of the agency’s undertaking on historic properties included in, or eligible for, the National Register of Historic Places and, before approval of an undertaking, give the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), a reasonable opportunity to comment on the undertaking. The NHPA defines “undertakings” as any project or activity that is funded or under the direct jurisdiction of a Federal agency, or any project or activity that requires a “Federal permit, license, or approval.” The ACHP’s regulations at 36 CFR Part 800, “Protection of Historic Properties,” define the provisions for meeting Section 106 requirements.
