National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 Is Under Attack

For 60 years, the National Historic Preservation Act (known as Section 106) has required federal agencies to consider the effects of their undertakings on historic and cultural properties, from Native American sites to buildings like the Federal Courthouse in Butte, to the Lincoln Memorial and other sites in Washington D.C. and around the country.

On Friday, July 24, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) approved damaging revisions to the regulations for Section 106. If implemented, these new rules would dramatically diminish the effectiveness of the NHPA and the current legal protections for historic and cultural places in Montana and across the United States.

Let's spread the word and work on stopping this major rewrite of the 1966 National Historic Preservation Act proposed by the current administration.

Contact your representative now and express your concerns.

Last week, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation voted to advance devastating changes to the Section 106 process of the National Historic Preservation Act, the law that's protected historic and cultural places for 60 years.

If adopted, these rules would eliminate public participation in federal preservation decisions and even strip protection from significant landscapes like the Grand Canyon.
