About the ACHP fact sheet in Spanish

States and Indian tribes were the recipients of funding to assist in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic under the CARES Act and American Rescue Plan Act (ARP Act). In responding to questions from states and tribes about the potential applicability of Section 106 to CARES Act and ARP Act funded projects, the ACHP noted that Congress mandated that these funds be given directly to states and tribes, and some federal agencies (such as the Department of the Treasury) acted strictly as a pass-through for the funds to states or tribes.

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.  

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.
