Section 106 review is a powerful tool that citizens can use to influence federal decisions that will affect their community. The Section 106 regulations include a role for the public. When planning a federally assisted project, the federal agency or its representative must provide the public with information about an undertaking and its effect on historic properties and seek public comment and input. Members of the public may also provide views on their own initiative for the agency representative to consider in decision making.

A Citizen’s Guide to Section 106 Review, developed by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, can help you understand the Section 106 process and how you can make your voice heard to influence decisions about federal projects that may affect historic properties in your community.
Preservation Hotline #3: Is There a Highway Project in Your Future? provides guidance on learning more about proposed highway projects in South Carolina, laws affecting decisions about highway projects, and who to contact to express your opinion.
