Welcome to the Advisory Committee for the Conservation of Historic Monuments (CHPA) guide to Section 106 contract documents. Section 106 documents of the agreement play a key role in documenting a federal authority`s obligation to carry out and carry out its responsibilities in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (54 U.S.C 306108). This guide is provided to assist federal authorities, states, Indian tribes, Hawaii Indian organizations, applicants, local governments, advisory parties and the public in developing, implementing and concluding such agreements.
CONSIDERING that, as part of the consultation under 36 CFR 800.14 (b), the signatories developed this programmatic agreement (agreement) to create an effective, effective and streamlined program alternative, to take into account the impact of the program on Iowa`s historic real estate and to give the AchP an appropriate opportunity to take a position on the projects covered by the agreement; These guidelines are addressed to all stakeholders in Section 106. It is intended to assist federal authorities, national and tribal officials in protecting historic monuments, Indian tribes, Native American organizations, applicants, local governments and other advisory parties to develop clear, concise and comprehensive agreements (MOAs) and programming agreements (VAs) in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). It will also assist federal authorities and those with whom they consult Section 106 in the development, implementation, monitoring, amendment and termination of these agreements. The use of this guide can help minimize disputes over agreed-upon measures on the runway and save better time spent finding creative ways to avoid, minimize or mitigate negative effects on historical properties. Requests for copies of programmatic agreements should be directed to CHPA staff. Programming agreements are the most commonly used alternative for the program. They allow federal authorities to regulate the implementation of a particular agency program or to resolve the adverse effects of complex projects or several similar undertakings by negotiating an agreement between the Agency, SHPO/THPO (s) and ACHP. In certain circumstances, the ACHP may also designate a given agency agreement as a prototype agreement, which can be used for the same type of program or business on several programs or territories.
A federal authority may also follow an “PA program” [36 CFR 800.14 (b) (2) ] if it wishes to create a Section 106 procedure that differs from the standard verification procedure for all businesses under a given program. A program with companies with similar or repetitive effects on historic real estate such as.B. Community Development Block Grant Agreements, may avoid the need for individual audits for each project.
