The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) approved revisions to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act on July 24. These changes aim to reduce public input and weaken protections for historic sites during federal projects. In response, a coalition of over 600 organizations—including Tribal Nations, museums, and conservation groups—submitted an open letter and brief to Congress. The coalition is urging lawmakers to protect Section 106, which mandates that federal agencies evaluate the impact of federally funded or approved projects on historic sites and consult with local officials, the public, and Tribal Nations. Signatories to the movement include the U.S. Committee of the Blue Shield. Advocates argue that the proposed regulatory rewrites and potential statutory rollbacks would diminish protections for cultural property by limiting mandatory consultation requirements with Tribal Nations and local officials.
