Federal Shutdown Over

As a result of legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President early this morning, the Federal government is back in business. Federal employees who have been furloughed for the past 16 days were told by Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to report to work this morning. So, if you need to contact Federal agencies about Section 106 matters, you should be able to receive assistance from agency personnel. However, the National Park Service's website is still unreachable. The FCC's site and systems are back up, however.
