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 (ACHP) adopted a plan to support the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (Declaration) on March 1, 2013.

As part of the effort to raise awareness, the ACHP also committed to developing guidance on the intersection of the Section 106 process and the Declaration.
