NATHPO: Tribal Prep for USACE Appendix C Mtng

Description

This is a NATHPO Webinar for Tribal Participants Only to prepare Tribes for the Appendix C Rulemaking and the upcoming Army Corps Tribal Virtual Meeting on March 21, 2024.

NATHPO Webinar for Tribes on USACE Appendix C Rescission

On February 9, 2024, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announced a rulemaking to formally rescind 33 CFR Part 325, Appendix C, which the Army Corps has used since 1980 to “comply” with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. In its place, the Army Corps will use 36 CFR Part 800 to comply with Section 106. As part of the rulemaking, the USACE is holding a virtual meeting for THPOs and other Tribal representatives on March 21, 2024 (the details for that meeting are below), and comments on the rulemaking are due to USACE on April 9, 2024.

Prior to the USACE Tribal meeting, NATHPO is hosting a webinar for THPOs and Tribal representatives and staff on March 14, 2024, at 2pm ET, on the Appendix C rulemaking. During the webinar, NARF Senior Staff Attorney Wesley Furlong will walk through key points NATHPO intends to raise in its comments, which we will share once they are finalized. We are also hoping to hear from you about the comments you intend to submit or raise with the Army Corps. We want to use the webinar to provide space to discuss the rescission of Appendix C, hear your thoughts and concerns, and discuss what next steps we can urge the Army Corps to take as they transition away from Appendix C. We hope you can make time for this interactive dialogue as we prepare comments for the Army Corps as they move away from Appendix C.
