A panel of ACHP members issued recommendations in September 2021 identifying actions the ACHP can take to improve the use of Program Comments as a tool for Section 106 review efficiency.

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has approved an exemption that relieves all federal agencies from historic preservation review requirements under the National Historic Preservation Act for specified activities. The exemption was approved on October 18, 2024.

Sample stipulations for the development of Section 106 agreements. The examples in this section will assist federal agencies in engaging the public in carrying out mitigation measures and provide examples for a range of approaches that may further public education and awareness building, the creation of educational materials for specific audiences, and heritage tourism efforts. These kinds of stipulations also present opportunities to involve students and youth in learning about or working with historic properties.

Federal agencies have sought the opinion of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) regarding whether federal law authorizes them to use appropriated funds to assist State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) in connection with reviews under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), 16 U.S.C. § 470f. The ACHP believes that this expenditure of federal funds to SHPOs is authorized by Section 110(g) of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).
