That same year, Congress strengthened the National Historic Preservation Act by establishing the Historic Preservation Fund, creating a permanent source of federal support for preservation efforts across the country. Underlying these actions was a philosophy first articulated in the 1966 National Historic Preservation Act; they reflected the vision established a decade earlier. Today, one of the National Historic Preservation Act’s principal tools for identifying, evaluating and considering historic resources impacted by federal actions is at risk of being fundamentally weakened. CLOSEKnown as Section 106, this process ensures that historic places and cultural resources are identified, evaluated and thoughtfully considered before federally funded, licensed or permitted projects move forward. On Friday, July 24, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) approved moving forward with proposed changes to the regulations implementing Section 106.
