The ACHP offers the following questions as a guide for consideration of an agency’s program alternative goals and needs.

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) seeks to help federal agencies understand why they must consult with those Indian tribes who were removed from their homelands by the federal government and now may reside great distances from a proposed undertaking. Understanding the effects of removal on Indian tribes and their ability to participate in the Section 106 process will help federal agencies to carry out their consultation responsibilities more effectively and efficiently.  

On March 25, 2004, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation approved technical and administrative amendments to the Army Alternate Procedures. Those Army Alternate Procedures set forth a process that Army installations can follow in order to meet their historic preservation review responsibilities under the National Historic Preservation Act. The main purposes of the amendments are to conform the Alternate Procedures to the Army’s internal reorganization, and clarify its exemption regarding designated surface danger zones. 

In 2013, the ACHP issued a report, Measuring Economic Impacts of Historic Preservation. Commissioned by the ACHP, with funding assistance from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration, the report identifies and analyzes methods for measuring the economic impacts of historic preservation.

We have created this page for new, nonfederal ACHP members. It walks them through the on-boarding process, including all the forms they need to file once they have been appointed to the ACHP, and explains how they may claim a per diem, make travel arrangements, and get a government credit card. If you are a new ACHP member, congratulations! We really appreciate your service … and we apologize for requiring so much paperwork, but it cannot be avoided.
