                        ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION
 
PART 801--HISTORIC PRESERVATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE URBAN DEVELOPMENT ACTION GRANT PROGRAM--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 801.6  Coordination with requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

    The National Historic Preservation Act and the National 
Environmental Policy Act create separate and distinct responsibilities. 
The National Historic Preservation Act applies to those aspects of a 
project which may affect National Register properties and those which 
are eligible for listing in the National Register. The requirements for 
the National Environmental Policy Act apply to the effect that the 
project will have on the human environment. To the extent that the 
applicant finds it practicable to do so, the requirements of these two 
statutes should be integrated. Some projects, for reasons other than the 
effects on historic properties, may require an Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) subject to the time requirements for a draft and final 
EIS, in which case the applicant may choose to separately relate to the 
State Historic Preservation Officer, the Department of the Interior, and 
the Council for purposes of section 110(c) of the HCDA of 1980. In that 
event, information in the draft EIS should indicate that compliance with 
section 106 and these regulations is underway and the final EIS should 
reflect the results of this process. Applicants are directed to 36 CFR 
800.9, which describes in detail the manner in which the requirements of 
these two acts should be integrated and applies to all UDAG applicants 
under these regulations.

In those instances in which an Environmental Impact Statement will be 
prepared for the project, the applicant should consider phasing 
compliance with these procedures and the preparation of the Statement.
