Overview

State, local, and tribal governments and nonprofits are increasingly asked to comment on federal activities under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The volume and complexity of undertakings, coupled with limited resources, make effective response challenging. Yet response is critical to historic preservation. Examine the Section 106 process and benefits of participation. Review case studies from federal agencies and identify response strategies. Consider when and how to hire a consultant to navigate the participation process.
