What implications does Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act have on the States for Recovery Act related programs?
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires entities using federal funds in historic properties or potentially historic properties to submit appropriate documentation to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) prior to completion of work to ensure that there is no adverse affect on the property. A historic property is identified as on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. There are levels of significance required for eligible properties, but the minimum requirement is an age of 50 years or older. There is a provision in the Act that the property owner does have the first right of refusal.
