An in-depth look at historic preservation responsibilities under the National Historic Preservation Act by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation
The
Section 106 Essentials is a two‑day course designed for those who are new to Section 106 review or those who want a refresher on its basic operation. Taught by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), this course explains the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, which applies any time a federal, federally assisted, or federally approved activity might affect a property listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
What will you learn in The Section 106 Essentials? This course features:
- Information on the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders in the Section 106 process;
- New real-life case studies to illustrate each step in ACHP's regulations, "Protection of Historic Properties" (36 CFR Part 800);
- Practical advice on how to make Section 106 work smarter and more efficiently to resolve conflicts between development plans and historic preservation values; and
- A revised curriculum and a course CD, featuring model documents, guidance materials, and a reference library.
Who should attend? The course is geared toward federal, state, or local government officials, tribal representatives, or private consultants who encounter preservation-related law in their jobs, and members of the public with an interest in historic preservation.
