    While the Department of Defense is one of the six federal agencies for which Congress has passed appropriations for Fiscal Year 2019, the partial government shutdown is having indirect effects on the military. On November 30, 2018, the Navy terminated consultations with state and local stakeholders on the impacts to historic preservation ofa proposal increase in EA-18G Growler operations at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. This termination triggered a 45-day period for comment by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), the independent agency tasked with advising Congress and the executive branch on preservation and use of historic resources. But with the ACHP currently shut down, this comment period has been effectively paused. Consistent with 36 CFR § 800, Navy leadership has pledged not to sign a Record of Decision on Growler operations until receiving and addressing comments from the ACHP on the suitability of historic preservation consultations. I urge you to fulfill this commitment despite the unanticipated delay caused by the partial government shutdown. Thank you for your consideration of this request and for your continued support for Navy communities.

    Dear Secretary Spencer:

    While the Department of Defense is one of the six federal agencies for which Congress has
    passed appropriations for Fiscal Year 2019, the partial government shutdown is having indirect
    effects on the military.

    On November 30, 2018, the Navy terminated consultations with state and local stakeholders on
    the impacts to historic preservation of a proposal increase in EA-18G Growler operations at
    Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. This termination triggered a 45-day period for comment by
    the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), the independent agency tasked with
    advising Congress and the executive branch on preservation and use of historic resources. But
    with the ACHP currently shut down, this comment period has been effectively paused.

    Consistent with 36 CFR § 800, Navy leadership has pledged not to sign a Record of Decision on
    Growler operations until receiving and addressing comments from the ACHP on the suitability
    of historic preservation consultations. I urge you to fulfill this commitment despite the
    unanticipated delay caused by the partial government shutdown.

    Thank you for your consideration of this request and for your continued support for Navy
    communities.

    Sincerely,

    Rick Larsen
    Member of Congress
    Washington State, 2nd District
