Report prepared pursuant to Section 213 of the National Historic Preservation Act for the Old Patent Office Building National Historic Landmark, Washington, DC.

The Federal Government has undertaken various efforts to revitalize central cities, which have historically served as centers for growth and commerce in metropolitan areas. Executive Order 13006 directs federal agencies to utilize and maintain, wherever operationally appropriate and economically prudent, historic properties and districts, especially those located in central business areas.

It is vitally important for federal agencies to effectively monitor the expiration dates of Section 106 memoranda of agreement or programmatic agreements (MOAs/PAs). If necessary, this includes coordinating the drafting, commenting, and execution of amendments to the duration stipulation prior to the agreement’s expiration. Once an agreement expires, it cannot be amended, even to extend its duration – quite simply, no agreement to amend exists following expiration.
