Proposed federal changes to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
Los Alamos County
Summary
Proposed changes to 36 CFR 800 would drop ethnographic landscapes, remove cumulative and setting effects, sideline tribal and state historic preservation officers, and eliminate public participation in federal historic review. Gregory warned it would fundamentally change how historic preservation works nationwide and affect the lab's roughly 1,300 projects a year.
