Availability of the Final Army Alternate Procedures for 
Protection of Army Historic Properties

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of adoption.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the Department of the Army's adoption of 
and publishes the final Army Alternate Procedures (AAP) to 36 CFR Part 
800: Protection of Army Historic Properties. The Advisory Council on 
Historic Preservation (Council) approved the AAP for adoption in a 
role-call vote at their meeting on July 13, 2001. The AAP is an 
optional procedure that an installation may choose to adopt to satisfy 
compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act 
(NHPA) in lieu of the existing regulations set forth in the Council's 
regulations at 36 CFR Part 800. The Army and the Council have consulted 
extensively with State Historic Preservation Officers, Indian tribes 
and Native Hawaiian organizations, and the National Trust for Historic 
Preservation throughout the development of the AAP. The AAP represents 
a plan-based approach to Section 106 compliance, in contrast to the 
project-by-project review approach defined in 36 CFR 800 subpart B.

ADDRESSES: To obtain additional copies of the AAP, contact the U.S. 
Army Environmental Center, ATTN: SFIM-AEC-PA (Mr. Robert DiMichele), 
Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21010-5401.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Lee Foster, 703-693-0675.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Army has adopted the 
final AAP for compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA and for 
comprehensive management of historic properties on lands owned or 
controlled by the Department of the Army. The AAP stands in place of 
the project-by-project review procedures set forth in 36 CFR Part 800. 
The AAP's leverage the internal policy requiring installations to 
prepare Integrated Cultural Resource Management Plans (ICRMP) in 
accordance with Army Regulation 200-4, Cultural Resources Management, 
as implemented by more detailed guidance in Department of the Army 
Pamphlet, 200-4. The AAP authorizes Army Installation Commanders to 
develop a Historic Property Component (HPC) to the installation's 
ICRMP. Once certified by the Council, the HPC serves as the 
installation's Section 106 compliance agreement for a five (5) year 
period. The installation's Section 106 compliance responsibilities 
would be met through internal installation implementation of the HPC 
rather than case-by-case, formalized, external review of individual 
undertakings as presently required by 36 CFR Part 800. Installations 
choosing not to develop certified HPCs will continue to review 
undertakings in accordance with 36 CFR part 800.
    Copies of the AAP can also be found on the Council's web site at 
www.achp.gov/army.html.

    Dated: February 25, 2002.
Raymond J. Fatz,
Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Environmental, Safety and 
Occupational Health), OASA(I&E).
