                Notice of Memorandum of Agreement
                AGENCY: National Capital Planning Commission.
                ACTION: Notice of Memorandum of Agreement Between the National Capital
                Planning Commission and the Smithsonian Institution.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) and the
                Smithsonian Institution (Smithsonian) have entered into a Memorandum of
                Agreement (MOA) effective December
                [[Page 3254]]
                20, 2018. The MOA details the process the two agencies will follow to
                comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 42 U.S.C.
                4371). NCPC has a NEPA obligation for projects submitted by the
                Smithsonian to NCPC for review and approval. The Smithsonian is not
                considered a federal agency for NEPA purposes and has no NEPA
                obligation. The MOA is required by NCPC's NEPA Regulations (1 CFR part
                601) to establish a cooperative working relationship between the
                parties to ensure NCPC's compliance with NEPA. A copy of the MOA is
                online at NCPC's website at the following location: https://www.ncpc.gov/docs/MOA_NCPC_Smithsonian_NEPA_December2018.pdf.
