Section 106 Review

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires review of any project funded, licensed, permitted, or assisted by the federal government for impact on significant historic properties. The agencies must allow the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, a federal agency, to comment on a project. The Alaska Historic Preservation Act contains a provision similar to Section 106 which mandates that any project with state involvement be reviewed in a similar manner.

Through the Section 106 review process, OHA staff work with federal and state agencies during the early stages of project planning to protect cultural resources. They do this by providing information on the location of sites and on cultural resources surveys previously done in an area. If the potential to discover unknown sites is high, a survey may be recommended. When there are sites in a project area, OHA consults with the agency on National Register eligibility, on how the project will affect sites, and on ways to lessen unavoidable damage.
