6. Environmental Review Requirements
91. Recipients of Mobility Fund support, like all licensees, must comply with the
Commission's rules regarding implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act and other federal
environmental statutes.'" The construction of a wireless antenna facility is a federal action, and any
entity constructing a wireless antenna facility must comply with the Commission's environmental rules
for each such facility.'6 The Commission's environmental rules require, among other things, that the
entity constructing the facility consult with expert agencies having environmental responsibilities,
including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the State Historic Preservation Office, the Army Corps of
Engineers, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (through the local authority with jurisdiction
over floodplains). If the facility will not be located on Tribal lands as defined in the Nationwide
Programmatic Agreement Regarding the Section 106 National Historic Preservation Act Review Process
(NPA),'69 the entity constructing the facility must follow the provisions of the NPA in assessing the effect
of facilities construction on historic properties. However, if the facility will be located on Tribal lands as
defined in the NPA, the entity must follow the procedures set forth in the rules of the Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation.'70 The entity must prepare environmental assessments for facilities that may
have a significant impact in or on wilderness areas, wildlife preserves, threatened or endangered species
or designated critical habitats, historical or archaeological sites, Indian religious sites, floodplains, and
surface features. The entity also must prepare environmental assessments for facilities that include high
intensity white lights in residential neighborhoods or excessive radio frequency emission, or that are over
450 feet in height.7' Facilities that require antenna registration will also be required to complete an
environmental notification process.72-
