Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 122 / Tuesday, June 27, 2017 / Notices
58725 (Sep. 30, 2015)). The amended
applications are summarized below.

Applicant’s Proposal
In the July 2013 amended application,
NPT proposed to construct and operate
a primarily overhead high voltage direct
current (HVDC) electric transmission
line that would originate at an HVDC
converter station to be constructed at
´
the Des Cantons Substation in Quebec,
Canada, then would be converted from
HVDC to alternating current (AC) in
Franklin, NH, and would continue to its
southern terminus in Deerfield, NH. The
proposed facilities would be capable of
transmitting up to 1200 megawatts
(MW) of power.
The New Hampshire portion of the
proposed Project would be a single
circuit 300 kilovolt (kV) HVDC
transmission line running
approximately 153 miles from the U.S.
border crossing with Canada near the
community of Pittsburg, NH, to a new
HVDC-to-AC transformer facility to be
constructed in Franklin, NH. From
Franklin, NH, to the Project terminus at
the Public Service Company of New
Hampshire’s existing Deerfield
Substation located in Deerfield, NH, the
proposed Project would consist of 34
miles of 345-kV AC electric
transmission line. The total length of the
proposed Project would be
approximately 187 miles.
NPT’s August 2015 application
amendment (80 FR 58725) changed the
proposed transmission line route by
adding three miles of buried
transmission line adjacent to a road not
previously analyzed, adding two new
transition stations (one in Bridgewater
and one in Bethlehem; both would
transition the transmission line between
aboveground and buried) of
approximately one acre each, and
increasing the amount of proposed
buried transmission line from
approximately eight miles to
approximately 60 miles with a total
proposed Project length of
approximately 192 miles. In addition,
the amendment proposed a minor shift
(less than 100 feet) in the international
border crossing location, changed the
project size from 1,200 MW to 1,000
MW with a potential transfer capability
of 1,090 MW and included other design
changes (e.g., change in converter
technology and type of cable). A copy of
the amended Presidential permit
application and maps of the proposed
Project route can be found at the DOE
environmental impact statement (EIS)
Web site (https://www.northernpasseis
.us).

Section 106 Review
Section 106 of the NHPA requires
federal agencies to take into account the
potential effects of their undertakings
that require federal funding, approvals,
or permits on historic properties and to
give the ACHP and SHPOs an
opportunity to comment. Compliance
with Section 106 also requires
consultation with other consulting
parties, which may include federallyrecognized Indian tribes, representatives
of local governments, the applicant,
certain individuals and organizations
with a demonstrated interest in the
proposed undertaking due to the nature
of their legal or economic relation to the
undertaking or affected properties, or
their concern with the undertaking’s
effects on historic properties (36 CFR
800.2). The public is also a participant
in the Section 106 process, and federal
agencies must also seek and consider
the views of the public (36 CFR
800.2(d)). If adverse effects on historic
properties are anticipated, agencies
develop measures to avoid, minimize, or
mitigate those adverse effects through
consultation.
DOE initiated Section 106
consultation with the NH SHPO—the
New Hampshire Division of Historical
Resources—in February 2011 in
response to NPT’s 2010 Presidential
permit application. DOE suspended its
Section 106 consultation following
notification from NPT that NPT would
be submitting an amended Presidential
permit application. DOE re-engaged the
NH SHPO in 2013 to continue Section
106 consultation on NPT’s amended
Presidential permit application
submission; through consultation with
the NH SHPO and other consulting
federal agencies, DOE defined the area
of potential effects (APE) (36 CFR
800.16(d)) and identified potential
additional consulting parties (36 CFR
800.2). The ACHP was invited to
participate in DOE’s Section 106
consultation in January 2014; ACHP
formally joined DOE’s Section 106
consultation in February 2015.
Additional consulting parties (36 CFR
800.2) were invited to participate in
DOE’s Section 106 consultation in
January 2014. DOE initiated
consultation with the VT SHPO—the
Vermont Division of Historic
Preservation—in June 2016 to address
the portion of the APE within Vermont.
When the potential effects on historic
properties are complex, involve large
land areas, and cannot be fully
determined prior to approval of an
undertaking, an agency’s obligations
under Section 106 are satisfied by
negotiation and execution of a legally
PO 00000

binding agreement called a
Programmatic Agreement or PA. DOE
has developed a draft PA through which
it proposes to satisfy the Section 106
requirements for the proposed Northern
Pass project. All information for the
public regarding the Section 106 process
are available at DOE’s Section 106
Consultation Page for the proposed
Northern Pass Transmission Line
Project: https://www.northernpasseis.us/
consultations/section106/.
Change in Public Notification
Procedure for Section 106 Consultation
The Section 106 implementing
regulations provide for specific public
involvement opportunities in the
Section 106 process. The level of public
involvement is determined on a projectby-project basis by the federal agency
implementing Section 106. DOE
previously indicated that it would
notify the public about the Section 106
process through future Federal Register
notices (see 78 FR 54876 (Sept. 6,
2013)). DOE is no longer using the
Federal Register to notify the public
regarding Section 106. Going forward,
DOE will continue to provide updates
and information to the public, including
about opportunities for public
involvement, regarding the Section 106
process through DOE’s Section 106
Consultation Page for the Project: https://
www.northernpasseis.us/consultations/
section106/. In accordance with this
decision, on June 14, 2017, DOE notified
the public that the draft Section 106
Programmatic Agreement for the
Northern Pass Transmission Project was
available to the public at this site.
Issued in Washington, DC, on June 16,
2017.
