Section 106 Consultation Involving National Historic Landmarks

Summary

The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) includes provisions that specifically address Federal Agencies' responsibilities when their activities involve National Historic Landmark (NHL) properties. Section 106 and its implementing regulations, "Protection of Historic Properties" (36 CFR Part 800), address Federal Agency (Agency) responsibilities when an undertaking will affect properties eligible for or listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Section 106 requires Agencies, prior to approval of an undertaking, to "take into account" effects of an undertaking on historic properties. NHLs designated by the Secretary of Interior are included in this group. Section 110(f) of the Act also outlines the specific actions that an Agency must take when NHLs may be directly and adversely affected by an undertaking. Agencies must, "to the maximum extent possible...minimize harm" to NHLs affected by undertakings. Both Sections 106 and 110(f) also require Agencies to afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment on the undertaking.
