Notice of Cultural Resources Industry Outreach Training Course

March 7, 1995.
    The Office of Pipeline Regulation (OPR) staff will convene another 
session of its cultural resources compliance training course. The one-
day training course will be held on May 3, 1995. The session is being 
offered in conjunction with the Society for American Archaeology 60th 
Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, May 3-7, 1995. However, 
attendance at the course is independent of attendance at the annual 
meeting for other purposes. We are holding this course so that 
additional members of the regulated pipeline industry and interested 
individuals and organizations can gain an understanding of:
     How the Commission gives the industry and the public an 
opportunity to assist the Commission in meeting its responsibilities 
under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and other historic 
preservation laws and regulations; and
     What cultural resources information the industry needs to 
file with the Commission before and after the Commission issues a 
certificate.
    We encourage interested organizations and the public to take 
advantage of this course.
    The course will include the following topics:
     Objectives and requirements of the Commission regarding 
compliance with Sec. 106 of the NHPA and related historic preservation 
laws;
     Guidance for reporting on cultural resources 
investigations;
     Definition of cultural resources terms used by the 
Commission in the compliance process; and
     Efficient strategies for planning and conducting cultural 
resources investigations.
    OPR's training course will be held at the Minneapolis Hilton and 
Towers, 1001 Marquette Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota. For hotel 
reservations, call [phone] and identify yourself as an attendee 
of the course offered in conjunction with the Society for American 
Archaeology Conference. Special hotel room rates are available until 
April 11, 1995.
    The OPR staff and Foster Wheeler Environmental Corporation, the 
Commission's environmental support contractor, will conduct the 
training. There is no fee for the course, but you must pre-register. A 
cultural resources training session is also being planned for Denver, 
Colorado in September 1995.
