Advisory Council on Historic Preservation

Advisory Council on Historic Preservation Chair Sara C. Bronin released her Report and Recommendations on the Application and Interpretation of the Federal Historic Preservation Standards to the ACHP, pursuant to the agency’s statutory responsibility to review and recommend improvements to federal, state, and local historic preservation policies. 

The report examines standards developed by the Department of the Interior addressing changes to historic properties, which are used in federal, state, and local regulatory processes that annually impact 120,000 federal agency actions, $8.8 billion in projects receiving the federal rehabilitation tax credit, and thousands of individual projects reviewed by local historic commissions.
