ACHP OFFERS ONLINE COURSE: EARLY COORDINATION WITH INDIAN TRIBES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

摘要

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation is offering a new online/on-demand course, Early Coordination with Indian Tribes for Infrastructure Projects. The 90-minute course can be completed over a 30-day period, and is geared toward applicants for federal permits, licensing, or funding, as well as federal permitting agencies and staff. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) is invoked whenever a federal undertaking poses the potential of an adverse effect on a property listed on, or considered eligible for listing on, the National Register of Historic Places. Under the NHPA, if the potential for adverse effects exists, federal agencies must consider how to avoid, minimize, or mitigate the impact on historic properties in consultation with key stakeholders, including Indian Tribes.
