TOWER NOTIFICATION SYSTEM (TCNS) REVIEW

 Tower Construction Notification allows companies to voluntarily submit notifications of proposed tower constructions to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). This works to increase communication between companies that submit notices and the UKB so that we can respond directly to the companies if we have concerns about a proposed construction affecting our cultural interest. The review is required under the National Historic Preservation Act, Section 106. Section 106 regulations place emphasis on consultation with Indian Tribes about undertakings when they may affect historic properties to which a tribe attaches religious or cultural significance. 

UKB YOUTH CONSERVATION CORPS

 The UKB Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) is a summer employment program for our UKB youth between the ages of 17 to 20 years of age. The purpose of the YCC program is to accomplish conservation work on United States Forest Service (USFS) land. It gives our youth the opportunity to work with the USFS in natural resources and environmental projects.
