Compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. §470f), as amended, requires all Federal agencies to take into account the effects of their actions on historic properties, and provide the Advisory Council for Historic Preservation (ACHP) with a reasonable opportunity to comment on those actions. Historic properties include properties listed on or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (the Register).
Properties that meet the criteria for listing in the Register, which is administered and maintained by the National Park Service, are normally over 50 years of age (although there are exceptions for extremely significant recent properties), and include districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. More detailed criteria are found in National Park Service regulations (36 CFR Part 60).
If either the Tribal Lead Agency or ACF concludes that the property (affected by the construction/renovation project) may be eligible for listing in the Register, ACF will submit a letter to the Department of the Interior requesting a decision concerning eligibility.
If a proposed construction/renovation project could potentially affect a property which is on or determined eligible for the Register, the Tribal Lead Agency must submit to ACF written materials regarding the impact of the proposed construction/renovation on the property. ACF will then consult with the Tribal or State Historic Preservation Officer, the public, other parties, and the Advisory Council for Historic Preservation, as appropriate, to assess adverse effects on the historic property, and to avoid, minimize, or mitigate the adverse affects. For more detailed information regarding this process, see regulations at 36 CFR Part 800.
The above guidance is based on information provided by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation on the World Wide Web ( http://w ww.achp.gov) and the Department of Health and Human Services’ General Administrative Manual, Part 30 – Environmental Protection, Chapter 30-40 – Cultural Asset Review.
