Ala. Admin. Code r. 460-X-5-.01
36 CFR Part 800, Executive Order 11593, and the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, are adopted by reference as the rules for environmental review projects. Copies of these documents are available at no cost from the Alabama Historical Commission. 36CFR Part 800 which was formulated by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation was published in the Federal Register. It outlines the obligations of the Council, federal agencies, and state historic preservation officer for protecting historic and cultural properties. Executive Order 11593 which was signed on May 13, 1971, requires all federal agencies to institute procedures to assure that federal owned sites, structures, and objects of historical, architectural or archaeological significance are preserved, restored and maintained; and to institute procedures to assure that federal plans and programs contribute to the preservation and enhancement of nonfederally owned sites, structures, and objects of historical, architectural, or archaeological significance. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 provides that federal agencies prior to expenditures on any proposed federal or federal assisted or federally licensed undertaking will take into account the effect of the undertaking on any district, site, building, structure, or object that is included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register and afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment with regard to such undertaking.
