LET-610: Section 106 SYBCI Transmittal Letter for the Demolition of Four ICBM Launch Facilities in Support of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START)

Summary

This document is a Section 106 transmittal letter initiating consultation with the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians (SYBCI) regarding impacts to cultural resources of Tribal concern included as part of the "Demolition of Four ICBM Launch Facilities in Support of the New START" project (Project). The 30th Space Wing of the United States Air Force, Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB), in cooperation with Air Force Global Strike Command, proposes to render four intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch facilities inoperable as part of the United States' compliance with the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), an agreement between the U.S. and Russia that requires specific reductions of each party's nuclear weapons capabilities. VAFB determined that the Project is a federal undertaking subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and the implementing regulations [36 CFR Part 800] and requests that SYBCI submits their written views regarding the project and its potential to affect the three sites included within 30 calendar days and invites them to visit the four launch facilities at their convenience.
