Overview The regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act specify that when commenting on an undertaking affecting a National Historic Landmark, the ACHP may request a report from the Secretary of the Interior under Section 213 of the Act to assist it in the consultation. The preparation of these reports, like other functions assigned to the Secretary under the Act, is carried out by the National Park Service (NPS) on the Secretary’s behalf.
