The ACHP supports federal policies and programs that promote use of historic properties to revitalize local communities.

From its earliest days, the ACHP addressed Native American historic preservation issues in Section 106 reviews and has, over time, recognized and increased the role of Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiians in its implementation of the Section 106 review process. Many would, undoubtedly, view this progress as slow and arduous; admittedly, it is a reflection of the times and society in which it has functioned.

Welcome to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's (ACHP) Guidance on Section 106 agreement documents. Section 106 agreement documents play a critical role in documenting a federal agency's commitment to carry out and conclude their responsibilities under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (54 U.S.C. § 306108). This guidance is provided to assist federal agencies, states, Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations, applicants, local governments, consulting parties, and the public in developing, implementing, and concluding such agreements.

Federal agencies can lease federal historic buildings (or portions thereof) to nonfederal partners for residential, commercial, and other new uses. Learn more about the ACHP’s work to promote such leveraging of historic federal buildings for community benefit.
