| Key Attributes |
The MOU identifies the geographic area of interest within Pennsylvania for the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin. PENNDOT will notify the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin of PENNDOT Federal-aid highway projects located within the Tribe's geographic area of interest. The notification will include a description of the undertaking, location information, and status in regard to the potential for archaeological sites. The notification gives the Tribe a reasonable opportunity to identify its concerns about historic properties, advise on the identification and evaluation of historic properties, articulate its views on the effect of the undertaking on those properties, and participate in the resolution of adverse effects. The Tribe will respond to requests for information or consultation within 30 days of receiving the notification.

| Comments on Development/Use of PA |
PENNDOT staff traveled to Wisconsin to meet face-to-face with members of the Tribe while developing the MOU. The MOU formalizes procedures that PENNDOT had been following informally. As of June 28, 2007, three other Tribal MOUs have been executed. All follow the same format as this agreement.
