The ACHP hosted its inaugural ACHP/SHPO Staff Virtual Forum on October 24. Participants included 118 State Historic Preservation Office staff from 36 states, as well as the Republic of Palau and Federated States of Micronesia. ACHP Office of Federal Agency Programs Director Jaime Loichinger presented the Forum topic, “What’s behind the curtain? ACHP Organizational Overview and Section 106 Case Participation Decisions,” followed by a moderated 45-minute Q&A session. Plans are underway for the next quarterly Forum in January 2025. The event was organized by SHPO Liaison Sarah Beimers, pictured below at the Forum. National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers #shpo #achp #historicpreservation #forum

We applaud the recent passage of the Program Comment on Stewardship and Management of National Park Service Mission 66-Era Facilities (1945-1972) initiated by the National Park Service in the fall of 2023. 18 Advisory Council members including NCSHPO voted in favor of this Program Comment. The Program Comment establishes parameters to manage National Park Service Mission 66-Era Facilities dating from 1945 to 1972, and reduces external reviews for simple or routine undertakings, unlikely to cause significant adverse effects to historic properties. This serves as a timely example of efficiencies that can be achieved through consultative processes. NCSHPO remains committed to promoting efficiencies where possible, while at the same time safeguarding our most valued historic resources from ill-advised efforts to circumvent consultation and project review in the name of ever-changing policy goals.
