ACHP Comment Streamlines Projects in Rights-of-Way

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) announced the issuance of a program comment that exempts undertakings that might affect historic rail properties within rail rights-of-way from Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act in an effort to streamline rail and public transit infrastructure projects.

ACHP Executive Director John M. Fowler called the comment “an important initiative that will bring significant efficiencies to rail and transit infrastructure projects that involve federal assistance or permits. Through these efforts, we are balancing the need to preserve historic properties while ensuring a sound and reliable national transportation system.”

The program comment adopts a two-pronged approach to meet the FAST Act statutory requirement: an activities-based approach and a property-based approach. To see the text of this comment, click here.
