On March 8 from 2:30 – 3:30 pm ET, Join the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a basic overview of the National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 review process (Section 106).
Register here.
Section 106 is one of many federal environmental review requirements that are triggered by federally funded transportation projects. Before obligating a grant, FRA must go through a four-step decision-making process to consider a project’s potential effects to historic properties. The Section 106 review process can include consultation with State Historic Preservation Officers, tribes, local governments, historical societies, and other community stakeholders. This webinar will help grant applicants make sense of the Section 106 review process and understand whether Section 106 streamlining procedures are applicable to their railroad project.
With the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which will provide $66 billion in new funding over the next five years to freight and passenger railroad projects, this webinar will be particularly useful for new grant applicants. The webinar will also be a timely Section 106 refresher for any FRA grantee.
