Back to Basics-Directions for Change in Implementation of Section 106

摘要

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, Back to Basics, set out to evaluate implementation of this important law with the following questions in mind: Have federal agencies fully embraced and incorporated its concepts in their planning for projects? How well is consultation working? Do applicants for federal assistance have clearly defined roles and responsibilities in the process? Do the regulations that implement this law need to be changed?
