32 C.F.R. § 650.184 Policy.
Title 32 - National Defense
The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89–665) establishes a national policy for historic preservation stating “that the historical and cultural foundations of the nation should be preserved as a living part of our community life and developed in order to give a sense of orientation to the American people.” Therefore, it is the policy of the Department of the Army to— (a) Locate, inventory, evaluate, and nominate to the Secretary of the Interior all properties under Army jurisdiction or control that appear to qualify for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register). (b) Administer and maintain historic properties which are under Army control or jurisdiction in a spirit of stewardship and trusteeship for future generations. (c) Assess all Army-controlled activities to minimize, eliminate, or mitigate any adverse impact on historic properties. (d) Initiate, plan and budget for support of programs necessary to preserve, restore, or rehabilitate historic properties. (e) Coordinate, when applicable, plans, programs, procedures, and activities with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Secretary of Interior, State Historic Preservation Officers, The National Trust For Historic Preservation, the Smithsonian Institution, and other Federal, State, or local historic organizations. (f) Encourage and assist the Secretary of the Interior, non-Federal public agencies, local historical societies or similarly oriented organizations to administer and maintain historic properties where such activity does not adversely impact on the performance of the Army mission.
