Frequently Asked Questions regarding the Coordination of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Requirements

A key responsibility of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) is to administer the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), a review process that ensures historic properties are considered during the development of any federal project. The ACHP’s Office of Federal Agency Programs (OFAP) coordinates this responsibility.

What is the ACHP Native Youth Program? In 2015, the ACHP launched a Native Youth Program in response to concerns of tribal representatives that not enough Native youth knew about historic preservation. The program’s primary goal is to generate interest in historic preservation in general, and help the next generation of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers, tribal and NHO representatives, and Native citizens support the preservation of their resources and important places.

The ACHP often receives inquiries regarding timing: more specifically, when do an agency’s “project planning activities” require Section 106 review? Courts have yet to rule directly on the issue, as case law to date focuses on compliance that comes “too late,” rather than sufficiently early. Awareness of the relevant regulations and approaches to answering such a question better positions agencies to avoid unnecessary delays later on.
