A Report to the President on the status of federal historic property management

[Executive Order 13514, which was the catalyst for publication of this report, has since been revoked.]

The ACHP's triennial report to the President on federal property stewardship  

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 Advisory Council on Historic Preservation published an exemption that relieves federal agencies from the requirement of taking into account the effects of their undertakings on historic natural gas pipelines.

In response to a joint request from the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, Subcommittee on National Parks and Public Lands, and the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation undertook an analysis of preservation issues concerning Federal support for highly scientific and technical facilities. The analysis considered the appropriate role of historic preservation in decisionmaking about the operation and management of these facilities. An update is forthcoming.
