The ACHP offers the following questions as a guide for consideration of an agency’s program alternative goals and needs.

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) seeks to help federal agencies understand why they must consult with those Indian tribes who were removed from their homelands by the federal government and now may reside great distances from a proposed undertaking. Understanding the effects of removal on Indian tribes and their ability to participate in the Section 106 process will help federal agencies to carry out their consultation responsibilities more effectively and efficiently.  

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.

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.

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.
