The National Park Service (NPS) develops new agreements, guidance, and resources to improve its Section 106 Compliance on an ongoing basis. Nationwide initiatives are coordinated through the NPS Washington Area Service Office (WASO) Section 106 Program. NPS will update this page with current initiatives and when appropriate, provide information on the Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) site.
The Section 106 regulations, “Protection of Historic Properties,” (36 CFR Part 800), offer program alternatives through which agencies can tailor the Section 106 review process for a group of undertakings or an entire program that may affect historic properties. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) provides guidance on program alternatives, including a chart that compares and contrasts the five program alternatives.
