The FirstNet Authority intends to have the FirstNet network contractor initiate consultation on its behalf under the ACHP Delegation of Authority for Section 106 Review of Telecommunications Projects. The ACHP determined that it is consistent with 36 C.F.R. § 800.2(c)(5) for licensees, applicants, and their authorized representatives to act on behalf of the FCC or its licensees when complying with certain provisions of the ACHP Regulations. The FirstNet Authority is a licensee of the FCC and has authorized its FirstNet network contractor to participate on its behalf in NHPA consultation for actions related to the FirstNet network. The FirstNet Authority, however, plans to observe the response times expected of SHPOs, and federally recognized tribes and NHOs outlined in NHPA and the NPAs, and will expect the contractor to respond to consulting party requests and inquiries in a reasonable and timely manner. Further, the FirstNet Authority will conduct tribal consultation in a manner respectful of tribal sovereignty, including government-to-government consultation when requested and appropriate.
