Section 106
National Historic Preservation Act
The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), as amended through 2000, established a program for the preservation of historic properties throughout the United States. Section 106 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to consider the effects of their activities on historic properties.
The Washington, D.C. campus of the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) is the site of a National Monument, a National Historic Landmark District and four buildings listed individually as National Historic Landmarks. In compliance with NHPA, AFRH under took a process to evaluate the effects of new development on the historic structures on the site. The AFRH consulted with the D.C. State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), and nearly 30 other consulting partners. AFRH concluded a Programmatic Agreement with the SHPO, ACHP, NCPC and the National Park Service as signators. The Programmatic Agreement spells out how the parties will determine the process to minimize any potential effects the new development may have on the historic properties. A list of the Consulting Parties can be seen by clicking here
AFRH has also completed a Historic Preservation Plan that documents the historic resources on the AFRH-W campus. This preservation plan is a reference document to the Programmatic Agreement, and outlines the policies and procedures that AFRH will follow to care for the significant number of historic resources on the campus.
AFRH has coordinated its historic analyses with its environmental analyses through the EIS process, and further information on AFRH's compliance with NHPA can be found in the Final Environmental Impact Statement. For more information on NHPA. Please visit www.achp.gov/nhpa.html.
