ACRA Webinar: Planning to Involve the Public in Section 106

The views of the public are essential to informed federal decision making in the Section 106 process. The level and type of public involvement in a case will vary depending upon specific factors and should be integrated with other environmental review processes like NEPA. This webinar will review the requirements and considerations in the Section 106 regulations and explain examples of best practices. Participants will identify appropriate public involvement techniques in case scenarios.

This webinar was designed and developed by the President's Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, which is an independent federal agency that promotes the preservation, enhancement, and productive use of our nation's historic resources, and advises the President and Congress on national historic preservation policy. ACRA's expert providers are ACHP Program Analysts Chris Wilson and Chris Daniel.
