5.7.5 Historic Properties and Native Hawaiian Human Remains and Associated
Cultural Material: Ensure compliance with the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA), PL 89-665 as amended, and the Native American
Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), PL 101-601.
5.7.5.1 NHPA: NHPA requires that any Federal undertaking take into
account the effects of that undertaking on historic properties. This may
require the use of qualified professional archaeologists to conduct surface
and subsurface survey in advance of design or construction, monitoring
during construction, and emergency data recovery if significant historic
resources are encountered during construction. In addition, any building
or structure which is 50 years old (or less if associated with World War II
or is otherwise significant because of unique qualities) may be eligible
for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The A-E may be
tasked to assist in the consultation process with the regulatory agencies,
including the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation.
5.7.5.2 NAGPRA: NAGPRA requires that certain procedures be followed in
the event of an inadvertent discovery or planned activity that has resulted
or may result from the intentional excavation or inadvertent discovery of
human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects or objects of cultural
patrimony on federal lands.
