SECTION 106 REVIEWS & HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY (HABS) RECORDATION
Section 106 Reviews
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) requires federal agencies to consider the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. Section 106 Review is required for projects receiving federal funds or requiring federal permits or licenses, with the goal of identifying historic properties potentially affected by the undertaking, assessing its effects, and seeking ways to avoid, minimize or mitigate any adverse effects on historic properties.
RHC assists property owners in navigating the Section 106 process by reviewing project plans and providing guidance on proposed rehabilitation work, coordinating with SHPO and relevant funding agencies throughout the Section 106 review process, and preparing submissions as required.
MOA Recordation and the Historic American Buildings Survey
When project planners cannot avoid adversely affecting historic properties, the funding agency and property owner must enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), specifying additional preservation activities that must be completed to mitigate these adverse effects, typically architectural and historical recordation of the property for inclusion in the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). Submission of the required recordation documents is coordinated through the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
RHC meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards in the fields of History and Architectural History, which is required for MOA recordation.
