Permitting Action Modification History

Planned
The FAST-41 covered Santa Fe Indian School (SFIS) Pueblo Education Network (PEN) Environmental Assessment (EA) has run into issues and needs to extend the Permitting Dashboard milestones. Due to SFIS staffing changes, it has taken time to establish training of new staff and further project execution. Since early summer 2024, consultant contracts and spending were put on hold and has resulted in a number of environmental review and permitting timeline delays. Foremost, Section 106 completion still needs to occur with the Pueblos of Zuni, Acoma, Isleta and Ramah Navajo Leadership and THPOs and NM SHPO on cultural surveys and sensitivity concerns. The permitting dashboard currently identifies Section 106 concluding on 1/15/25, but we now estimate up to six additional months of work that needs to be factored into the permitting dashboard date to reach Section 106 conclusion. This change will have cascading effects to the Final EA/FONSI dates and all other Cooperating Agency Federal Actions and milestone dates.

Planned
The Project Sponsor has asked for an additional five months to complete its coordination with the Pueblos and Tribes, which the Project Sponsor is engaged in as part of the Section 106 process. The Project Sponsor is continuing to work with the Pueblos and Tribes on cultural surveys and sensitivity concerns and is making small refinements to the alignment of the proposed route to avoid certain cultural resources. The Section 106 consultation and route alignment affect timing of the Environmental Assessment, which then affects the cooperating agency dependent actions. Specifically, the completion dates for rights-of-way from BIA-Southern Pueblos Agency.

Agencies were waiting for a determination on BIA NPM to see if it applies to tribal consortiums and it does not so BIA permitting is still required. The BIA ROW permitting milestones are now being updated on the dashboard.
