Supplementary Information
Section 101 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, provides that the Advisory Council
may enter into an agreement with an Indian tribe to permit undertakings on tribal land to be reviewed under tribal historic preservation regulations in place of review under regulations promulgated by the Council to govern compliance with section 106, if the Council, after consultation with the tribe and appropriate State Historic Preservation Officers, determines that the tribal preservation regulations will afford historic properties consideration equivalent to those afforded by the Council's regulations.
16 U.S.C. 470a(d)(5). Section 106 requires Federal agencies to take into account the effect of their undertakings on properties included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and to afford the Council a reasonable opportunity to comment on such undertakings. In accordance with the provisions of Section 101, the Advisory Council and the Narragansett Indian Tribe drafted the Agreement titled ``Agreement between the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and the Narragansett Indian Tribe for the Assumption by the Narragansett Tribe of Certain Responsibilities Pursuant to the National Historic Preservation Act,'' and related tribal historic preservation regulations titled ``Procedures and Rules for the Registration and Protection of Tribal Properties.'' Through this agreement, it is the intent of the Narragansett Indian Tribe to take charge of the Section 106 historic preservation review of federal undertakings that affect historic resources located in their tribal land, and subject such review to the provisions of the Narragansett tribal historic preservation regulations. You may obtain a copy of the draft agreement and the regulations by contacting Javier Marques, Assistant General Counsel, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, Suite 809, Washington, DC 20004; (202) 606-8503.
