National Historic Preservation Act Section 106

The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) is a law that requires federal agencies to identify and consider the potential effects of their actions on historic properties and look for ways to avoid, minimize, or mitigate effects. By definition, historic properties may include archaeological sites, sacred and religious sites, submerged historic resources, traditional cultural places, or historic buildings, structures, or objects.

The Draft SEIS/OEIS public review and comment period supports consultation under Section 106 of the NHPA and its implementing regulations, as members of the public and stakeholders are invited to provide comments about potential effects on historic properties or seek to participate as a consulting party.

The Navy, as the lead agency, has initiated Section 106 consultation and will comply with the 2020 Programmatic Agreement Between the Commander, Joint Region Marianas and the Guam State Historic Preservation Officer, Regarding Military Training and Testing on and within the Surrounding Waters of the Island of Guam and the 2022 Programmatic Agreement Between the Commander, Joint Region Marianas and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands [CNMI] Historic Preservation Officer, Regarding Military Training and Testing on and within the Surrounding Waters of the Islands of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in coordination with the historic preservation offices of Guam and the CNMI and signatories to those agreements.

The participation of the public and stakeholders is an important part of the NHPA Section 106 process. The Action Proponents encourage all to help identify historic properties within the Study Area and share information regarding the identification of or potential effects on historic properties by providing a written comment during the public comment period. Individuals, organizations, or agencies may submit an oral or written comment at the public meetings, online via the comment form, or by mail to the address provided on the Public Comments page.

For information about the NHPA Section 106 consultation process, or if you are interested in becoming a consulting party, please provide your name, organization, and email address on the Consulting Party Information Request Form.
