The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) is advancing a sweeping and damaging proposal to rewrite the regulations for Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). If implemented, these new rules would dramatically diminish the effectiveness of the NHPA and the current legal protections for historic and cultural places.

Since the enactment of NHPA 60 years ago, Section 106 has been the foundational requirement for federal agencies to “take into account” the effects of their actions on historic properties and places, enabling public participation and comment in the process, empowering state and local governments and Tribal communities to have a voice in the process, and often improving the project and enhancing the outcome.

These new regulations will lead to more delays and more litigation as federal agencies and applicants try to navigate compliance without the well-known and well-used consultation process, which often leads to negotiated win-win outcomes. The preservation community and our partners across the country are mobilizing to fight this harmful proposal.

Applications are now open for the next cohort of grant recipients with a deadline of September 11.

Designating Route 66 as a National Historic Trail will have a significant economic impact in the eight states* along the iconic route and appropriately recognize the historic roadway during its centennial celebration in 2026.  

While the “Mother Road” traverses only eight states, its historic significance has been felt by many Americans. Help preserve Route 66 for future generations throughout the country.
