[FR Doc. 2024–25938 Filed 11–7–24; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4140–01–P ADVISORY COUNCIL ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION Notice of Approval of Exemption for Indigenous-Knowledge Informed Activities by Native Hawaiian Organizations Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) has approved an exemption that would relieve Federal agencies from the historic preservation review requirements under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act regarding the effects of various undertakings in Hawaii that are proposed or directed by a Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO), or substantially led, designed, or managed by an NHO, informed by Indigenous Knowledge of that NHO, and related to traditional cultural practices of Native Hawaiians. SUMMARY: The exemption went into effect on October 18, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Dancing Feather, (202) 517– 0195, wdancingfeather@achp.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, 54 U.S.C. 306108 (Section 106 and NHPA), requires Federal agencies to consider the effects of projects they carry out, license/ permit/approve, or assist (undertakings) on historic properties, and provide the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) a reasonable opportunity to comment with regard to such undertakings. Historic properties are those properties that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) or eligible for such listing. The NHPA authorizes the ACHP to promulgate regulations for exempting undertakings from any or all of the requirements of Section 106. 54 U.S.C. 304108(c). The section 106 regulations, found at 36 CFR part 800, detail the process for the approval of such exemptions at 36 CFR 800.14(c). After following that process, on October 18, 2024, the ACHP membership, by a vote of 17 in favor, ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 DATES: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:38 Nov 07, 2024 Jkt 265001 none against, and three abstentions, approved the exemption reproduced at the end of this notice. I. Background The ACHP acknowledges that Native knowledge and expertise are crucial to a full understanding of historic properties that must be recognized in the Section 106 review process. Accordingly, the ACHP published the 2021 Traditional Knowledge and the Section 106 Process: Information for Federal Agencies and Other Participants document to keep Federal agencies apprised of their duty to incorporate traditional knowledge in Section 106 decisions. Most recently, in March 2024, the ACHP adopted a Policy Statement on Indigenous Knowledge and Historic Preservation calling for the respectful integration of Indigenous Knowledge at all levels of the Section 106 review process. In particular, Principle 3 of this policy describes ‘‘Indigenous Knowledge’’ for purposes of Section 106 to include, but is not limited to, the ‘‘experiences, insights, and knowledge held by Indian Tribes and NHOs that can assist Federal agencies in identifying, evaluating, assessing, and resolving adverse effects to historic properties that may be of religious and cultural significance to them.’’ Moreover, Principle 4 of the policy explains that section 106 agreement documents and program alternatives that relate to historic properties of religious and cultural significance to an Indian Tribe or NHO should recognize Indigenous Knowledge in informed decision making. II. Exemption Criteria As mentioned, exemptions are a program alternative under 36 CFR 800.14(c) which may be proposed by a Federal agency or by the ACHP. Exempted categories must meet the following three criteria: (i) the actions within the program or category would otherwise qualify as ‘‘undertakings’’ as defined in § 800.16; (ii) the potential effects of the undertakings within the program or category upon historic properties are foreseeable and likely to be minimal or not adverse; and (iii) the exemption of the program or category is consistent with the purposes of the NHPA. The actions covered by the exemption are undertakings. The ACHP identified that certain Federal agencies reviewing undertakings involving NHOs, specifically those utilizing Indigenous Knowledge, were experiencing challenges in meeting section 106 requirements despite clear compliance with the broad goals and outlines of PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 88791 Federal historic preservation policy. Examples of such projects have included, in the past, Federal grant activities to NHOs, such as grants for agricultural restoration in He1eia and maintenance activities at Ulupō Heiau in Kailua, and select Federal land management actions. The exemption applies to certain types of undertakings to be carried out, licensed, permitted, or assisted by Federal agencies that are (1) proposed, directed, or authorized by an NHO, or substantially led, designed, or managed by an NHO, (2) informed by Indigenous Knowledge of that NHO, (3) related to traditional cultural practices of Native Hawaiians, and (4) preceded by the submission of an attestation statement by the NHO to the relevant Federal agency. The types of activities that are included are landscaping practices; agricultural practices; rehabilitation, preservation, restoration, or reconstruction of water features and systems, including fishponds, historic pathways, sacred and traditional sites, traditional Native Hawaiian buildings and structures, properties of religious and cultural significance to NHOs; installation of interpretative signage; and transfer of Federal property or interest in Federal property to an NHO. The undertaking’s potential effects are likely to be minimal or not adverse. In considering the likely potential effects of the undertakings informed by NHOs on historic properties, the ACHP Chair and staff met with many representatives of NHOs, Federal agencies, the Hawai1i State Historic Preservation Office, and other preservation partners. In addition, the ACHP conducted public engagement and consultation as further described below. Based on this input and input from ACHP members, the likely effects of the exempted undertakings on historic properties (including those not of religious and cultural significance to NHOs), would be minimal or not adverse, as such effects are defined in 36 CFR 800.16(i) and 800.5 respectively. The exemption includes several safeguards to limit the covered undertakings’ effects to those that are minimal or not adverse, including: the requirements that covered activities include only those informed by Indigenous Knowledge of the NHO and related to the traditional cultural practices of Native Hawaiians; a requirement that the NHO attest to its involvement in the undertaking and the undertaking’s relationship to Native Hawaiian cultural practice; a carefully prescribed list of covered activities, each tied to Indigenous Knowledge of the NHO and traditional cultural E:\FR\FM\08NON1.SGM 08NON1
