Programmatic Agreement Among the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, Northern Arizona Veterans Affairs Health Care System, the Arizona State Historic Preservation Officer, the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation Regarding the Fort Whipple Enhanced Use Lease Housing Development Project at the Bob Stump Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Prescott, Yavapai County, Arizona

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has issued a program comment for the U.S. Department of the Army that sets forth the way in which the Army complies with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act for its inventory of Inter-War Era historic housing management actions, including: maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, renovation, abatement, mothballing, demolition, replacement construction, new construction, lease and conveyance.

Preservationists marked the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) in 2016 and took the opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of the federal preservation program that was created by the NHPA. In conjunction with a public outreach effort, the ACHP analyzed the federal preservation program established by the NHPA and developed recommendations for actions that would improve the program to address current and future needs. 

This handbook guided participants in the Section 106 review process for many years, but has since been superseded by current guidance.
