1. Publication
    To coincide with the 40th Anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the ACHP developed a newspaper insert that focuses on the importance of historic preservation and the historic preservation infrastructure that was created by the NHPA. The insert was developed in partnership with the History Channel and the Newspaper In Education Institute. It first appeared in the Washington Times.

  3. Public Resources
    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is reporting its progress on identifying, protecting, and using historic properties to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and Secretary of the Interior (SOI) for the period October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2023, pursuant to Section 3 of Executive Order (EO) 13287 – Preserve America.
  4. Report
    On September 23, 2016, the Department of the Interior, Department of Justice, and the Department of the Army issued a joint letter to Tribal Leaders committing to a broad review and consultation with Tribes on how Federal decision making on infrastructure and related projects can better allow for timely and meaningful Tribal input. This Report, Improving Tribal Consultation and Tribal Involvement in Federal Infrastructure Decisions, is the product of this government-to-government consultation and comments received from fifty-nine Tribes (and eight organizations representing Tribal interests) in October and November 2016. It reflects the start of a continuing nation-to-nation consultation that is needed to ensure that infrastructure projects are sited in a manner that lives up to the United States’ obligations to Tribes.
  5. Whitepaper
    The Presidio of San Francisco is a National Historic Landmark District (NHLD) listed on the National Register of Historic Places. When the Presidio passed out of Department of the Army hands due to a base closure process in 1992, the former military installation became part of the National Park Service's (NPS) Golden Gate National Recreation Area and became available for other uses, creating both opportunities and challenges. The Presidio Trust, a federal corporation, was created in 1997 as a governing body to guide the fate and future of this resource.
  6. Executive Action
    This order moves to accommodate access to and ceremonial use of Indian sacred sites by Indian religious practitioners, and avoid affecting the physical integrity of those sites in any adverse way.
  7. Guidance Document
    Section 106 requires each federal agency to identify and assess the effects of its undertakings on historic properties. It applies when two thresholds are met: there is a federal, federally assisted, or federally licensed activity; and that activity has the potential to affect properties listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
  8. Guidance Document
    As communication and decision making happens increasingly online, it is more important than ever to encourage the use of electronic signatures for Section 106 Memoranda of Agreement (MOAs) and project Programmatic Agreements (PAs). Since the Section 106 regulations do not provide detail on what signature formats may be used to execute agreement documents, the ACHP is providing information to support the development of best practices to help those considering whether or how to use electronic signatures for Section 106 agreements.
