    Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as 
amended (``Act''), sets forth certain responsibilities of Federal 
agencies in carrying out the purposes of the National Historic 
Preservation Act of 1966. Subsection 110(j) authorizes the Secretary of 
the Interior to promulgate regulations under which the requirements in 
section 110 may be waived in whole or in part in the event of a major 
natural disaster or an imminent threat to the national security. Waiver 
of responsibilities under section 110 does not affect an agency's 
section 106 responsibilities for taking into account the effects of 
emergency activities on properties included in or eligible for the 
National Register of Historic Places and for affording the Advisory 
Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment on such 
activities.
