Federal Planning and Historic Places

by Thomas F. King

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Section 106 is a critical section of an obscure law, the National Preservation Act. It has saved thousands of historic sites, archeological sites, buildings, and neighborhoods across the country from destruction by Federal projects. And it has let even more be destroyed, or damaged, or somehow changed. But what does it say, and how does the regulatory process it created actually work?

In this book, Tom King de-mythologizes Section 106, explaining its origins, its rationale, and the procedures that must be followed in carrying out its terms. Available just months after the latest revision of section 106, King's engaging and witty prose turns a tangle of complicated regulation into a readable and engaging guide.

Book News Annotation:

In this companion volume to his earlier work, , King (historic preservation, University of Nevada) presents a more detailed explanation of the practice of Federal agency project review under Section 106 of the US National Historic Preservation Act. The book reflects the latest revisions to Section 106, and offers advice on matters such as public participation in review and drafting Memoranda of Agreement. Also included are the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's 1999 guidelines for archeological data recovery.
