SUBJECT: PUBLIC NOTICE
POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON HISTORIC PROPERTIES
U.S. CELLULAR/OSHKOSH DT (776305)
To Whom It May Concern:
am writing on behalf of U.S. Cellular Corporation ("U.S. Cellular") and the Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC"), regarding a proposed wireless telecommunications
collocation in the City of Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
In order to provide new coverage/enhanced coverage, U.S. Cellular proposes to install
additional telecommunications antennas upon the penthouse of an existing 104-foot structure
located at 530 N. Main Street in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. U.S. Cellular currently has existing
antennas on this structure. I have enclosed for your review documents that describe the
location of this project, including a USGS Quadrangle map, aerial site plan, and photographs of
the existing structure proposed for collocation.
U.S. Cellular is reaching out to invite your organization to participate and provide input in the
federally mandated review of potential effects the proposed collocation could have on historic
properties. This review is conducted by U.S. Cellular under the oversight of the FCC and
includes input from the State Historic Preservation Officer ("SHPO"), interested federally
recognized Tribes, and the public. The focus of this review is twofold: (1) identify whether or not
any historic properties may exist in the area of this project; and (2) if so, whether the project
may cause any effects to such properties.
If your organization wishes to participate in this historic review process, it is entitled to be a
consulting party as envisioned by the National Historic Preservation Act. As a consulting party
your organization would be provided with copies of all documents and submissions made to the
SHPO, be notified of developments in the historic review process, be entitled to consult and
comment on the identification of historic properties in the designated area of potential effects
("APE"), provide input on any potential effects to historic properties, and the resolution of any
adverse effects. Your participation would bring an additional perspective to the process.
If you choose to reply to this request, please let me know no later than April 16, 201921575 : 1)
if your organization wishes to become a consulting party or 2.) if you do not wish to become a
1 of 2
consulting party. If you chose not to become a consulting party your comments regarding
historic properties are still welcome and I encourage you to reply by the date listed above. If I
do not receive a reply by the date above, I will assume you are not interested in participating in
this review, although you may request consultation at any time during the active review process.
Please send correspondence/contact: Jake Rieb, Edge Consulting Engineers, Inc. 624 Water
Street, Prairie du Sac, WI 53578 or jrieb@edgeconsult.com. In addition, please feel free to call
me at 608.644.1449 if you have any questions or would like further information about this
particular project or historic review process.
I thank you in advance for your consideration of this request and your attention to this matter.
Sincerely and respectfully,
