Passage of

Historic
Preservation
Act (NHPA) in
1966 found
most federal

loss to
respond to the
challenges of
historic
preservation,
much less
prepared to cope with the growing public interest it generated. Clearly, federal
institutions needed help in meeting the broad historic preservation goals set for the
federal government by Congress in the NHPA.

With passage of the NHPA, Congress made the federal government a full partner and a
leader in historic preservation. The federal government's role would be to provide
leadership for preservation, and foster conditions under which modern society and
prehistoric and historic resources can exist in productive harmony. An underlying
motivation in passage of the NHPA was to transform the federal government from an
agent of indifference, frequently responsible for needless loss of historic resources, to a
responsible steward for future generations.
The drafters of NHPA also appreciated that transforming the role of the federal
government would require a new ethic was needed throughout all levels and agencies
of the federal government. One tenet of the NHPA was critical to this transformation —
Section 106.

Section 106 1 NCSHPO
Section 106 of NHPA granted legal status to historic preservation in federal planning,
decision-making, and project execution. Section 106 requires all federal agencies to
take into account the effects of their actions on historic properties, and provide a
reasonable opportunity to comment on those actions and the manner in which federal
agencies are taking historic properties into account in their decisions. The Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), also established via the NHPA, is the Federal
Agency charged with overseeing the Section 106 process.
Overview
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) grants legal status
to historic preservation in Federal planning, decisionmaking, and project
execution.
Section 106 applies when two thresholds are met: 1) there is a Federal or
federally licensed action, including grants, licenses, and permits; and 2) that
action has the potential to affect properties listed in or eligible for listing in the
National Register of Historic Places.
Section 106 requires all Federal agencies to take into account the effects of their
actions on historic properties. The responsible Federal agency must consult with
appropriate State and local officials, Indian tribes, applicants for Federal
assistance, and members of the public and consider their views and concerns
about historic preservation issues when making final project decisions.
Effects are resolved by mutual agreement, usually among the affected State's
State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) or the Tribal Historic Preservation
Officer (THPO), the Federal agency, and any other involved parties. The ACHP
may participate in controversial or precedent -setting situations.
For more information on working with Section 106, visit the ACHP's website by
clicking here.
Streamlining the Section 106 Review Process
Recognizing the wide variety of federal undertakings subject to Section 106, as well as
the need for efficient and sensible review, federal agencies have the option of crafting
alternate methods for meeting their Section 106 obligations. The regulations of the
ACHP (38 CFR 800, which can be downloaded here) provide for the use of Alternate
Procedures, Programmatic Agreements, Prototype Programmatic Agreements,
Exempted Categories, Standard Treatments, or Program Comments. The most
common alternatives are described here. However, full information about these
alternatives can be found on the ACHP website.

Executive and Legislative Actions
Over the past 30 years, a number of additional executive and legislative actions have
been directed toward improving the ways in which all federal agencies manage historic
properties and consider historic and cultural values in their planning and assistance.
Executive Order 11593 (1971) and, later, Section 110 of the NHPA (1980, amended
1992), provided the broadest of these mandates, giving federal agencies clear direction
to identify and consider historic properties in federal and federally -assisted actions. The
amendments of the NHPA in 1992 further clarified Section 110.
As amended in 1992, Section 110 of the NHPA outlines a broad range of responsibilities
for federal agencies. Section 110 calls for federal agencies to establish preservation
programs, commensurate with their mission and the effects of their activities on historic
properties that provide for the careful consideration of historic properties. Section 110
also required federal agencies to designate qualified Federal Preservation Officers
(FPOs) to coordinate their agency's historic preservation activities. Click here for a
complete list of Federal Historic Preservation Officers.
In 2003, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation published advisory guidelines to
assist federal agencies with real property management responsibilities in preparing the
assessments and reports outlined in Executive Order 13287 "Preserve America" (PDF
format). Agencies are encouraged to use the advisory guidelines as a template to
ensure that adequate, complete, and useful information is submitted to the ACHP.
Today, federal agencies that have major stewardship responsibilities for public lands
and resources, or have the most frequent, significant effects on historic properties
through federal assistance and regulatory programs, have substantial historic
preservation responsibilities.

Preamble
Preservation com )Dns have been established by local
governments throughout the United States to promote the
preservation and appropriate development of heritage
resources in their communities. National Alliance of
Preservation Commissions (NAPC) is the only organization
devoted solely to representing the nation's preservation
commissions. Its mission is "to build strong local
preservation programs through education, advocacy and
training." As part of that mission, NAPC has developed this
Code of Ethics to promote and maintain the highest
standards of honesty, integrity and professionalism among
the commissioners and staff who serve their communities
through preservation commissions.
These principles are derived from general societal values and
recognized principles of professional responsibility. As
societal values compete, so may ethical principles. The need
for full public disclosure may compete with the need to
respect confidential information, for example. The ethical
commissioner- or staff member must carefully balance
various public and private interests based on the facts and
context of each situation guided by the commitment to
serve the public interest. Individual commissioners should be
knowledgeable, accurate, honest and forthright in their
dealings with other commissioners, local elected officials and
staff, applicants and the general public. Although not elected
by the public, preservation commissioners are accountable
for their actions in the communities they serve.
This Code of Ethics comprises guidelines for ethical conduct
organized under three main categories:
• Responsibility to the Community
• Responsibility to the Profession
• Standards of Professional Conduct
Under each category are statements of principle to guide
preservation commissioners and staff in choosing ethical
courses of action for heritage preservation in their
communities. NAPC endorses this Code as the ethical
benchmark to which all its members should aspire. In the
absence of professional licensure for preservation
commissioners and staff, the adherence to a code of ethics is
a matter of personal responsibility. However, preservation
commissions may wish to adopt these principles and
standards as a guide. Although stated in the plural, each
suggested rule also applies to an individual commissioner or
staff member.
