Programmatic Agreement on Protection of Historic Properties During Emergency Response Under the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (2002)
The purpose of this Programmatic Agreement (PA) is to provide an alternative process to ensure appropriate consideration of historic properties within the meaning of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) during emergency response to a release or spill. This PA does not address the consultation procedures under Section 106 of the NHPA once that phase of the response action has ended.
