Section 106 Review

Preservation 101        Economic Benefits        Sustainability        

What does "Section 106 Review" mean?
Section 106 refers directly to a particular part of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 that requires every federal agency to take into account how each of its undertakings could affect historic properties. This process is administered by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, an independent agency, in consultation with the appropriate State Historic Preservation Office.

Section 106 review extends to properties that possess significance and are determined eligible for listing on the National Register but have not yet been listed.
