Dear USET/USET SPF Family,
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has announced that it is hosting a webinar on streamlining environmental reviews through Section 106 compliance under the National Historic Preservation Act (Sec. 106 NHPA). HUD is proposing this action due to the lengthy Tribal consultation process for historic preservation of Tribal projects involving the rehabilitation of single family homes. HUD believes that the use of Programmatic Agreements (PAs) under Sec. 106 NHPA can shorten the environmental review compliance process.
This webinar will focus on providing Tribal Nations and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) with information to develop a PA with a Tribal Historic Preservation Officer or a State Historic Preservation Officer. Details regarding the upcoming webinar are as follows—
