Federal Government's Progress In Implementing

A National Archeological And Historic

Preservation Program


As of February 1984, the Department of the Interior, the Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation, and other federal agencies had taken actions to respond
to 9 of the 16 recommendations GAO made in 1981 to correct problems in the
administration and operation of the national archeological and historic
preservation program. Also, Interior and the Advisory Council, which have
primary roles in the program, had taken actions to comply with 35 of the 54
requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act Amendments of 1980.

Implementation of some recommendations and requirements had been
suspended because of a dispute between the Office of Management and
Budget (and other federal agencies) and the Advisory Council on whether the
Council's regulations implementing section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act exceed the Council's statutory authority. Section 106
requires federal agencies to provide the Council a reasonable opportunity to
:comment on the agencies' proposed projects. The parties are working to
,resolve the dispute.
Interior, which is responsible for approving preservation plans of states
!wishing to receive federal grants for historic preservation purposes, has
!developed a Resource Protection Planning Process model approach, which it
,encourages the states to use to integrate the identification, evaluation, and
!protection elements of preservation into their land use decisionmaking
:processes. As of February 1984, 24 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto
IRico were using or in the process of implementing the model approach
