Experienced Section 106 practitioners will benefit from this opportunity to explore the steps necessary to make a reasonable effort to identify historic properties for a specific undertaking and to carry out such identification efforts in good faith. In this webinar, we will learn about this regulatory standard while practicing its application to case scenarios.
When a federal agency finds that an undertaking may adversely affect a historic property, it must consider measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate such adverse effects, document the resolution of the Section 106 consultation in a formal, legal agreement, and implement the measures in the agreement. In this webinar, we will practice applying the tools for agreement writing and reviewing provided in the ACHP’s Guidance on Agreement Documents and guide participants in performing a “reality check” for agreement consultation.
Join us for this two-part, blended learning experience. First, a week before the webinar, take the free 15-minute eLearning course, What is Section 106?, available on our eLearning course webpage (all you have to do is establish an account prior to taking the course). Next, join us for the May 8 webinar where we'll expand on what you learned in the eLearning course about the key principles of Section 106 review and answer any questions you may have.
The ACHP will have a spring meeting on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, from 9 a.m.to 11:30 a.m. ET. ACHP meetings are open to the public. The meeting will be livestreamed on Facebook and the recording will be made available following the proceedings on the ACHP's YouTube Channel.
