Is accreditation by the Register of Professional Archaeologists required to obtain an Archaeological Survey Permit?
A – No, accreditation by the Register of Professional Archaeologists (RPA) is no longer required. However, permit holders must comply with the Code of Conduct and Standards of Research Performance promulgated by the RPA. A copy of this Code and Standards can be found on the Archaeological Permitting section of the Public Lands Policy Coordination Office (PLPCO) webpage. If an individual fails to comply with all laws, rules, and permit conditions — including compliance with the RPA Code of Conduct and Standards of Research Performance — their permit may be amended, suspended or revoked.
