A note from the Government Affairs Committee:

The United States Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee has scheduled a hearing next week about Section 106 of the NHPA. Their announcement states, “The purpose of the hearing is to examine the Section 106 consultation process under the National Historic Preservation Act.”  No additional details have been posted, but the hearing will take place on October 29, 2025 at 9:30 am EASTERN time. The hearing will be streamed on the Committee’s website:  https://www.energy.senate.gov/

Please remember to check ACRA and SAA for additional information, as they have relationships with some of the legislators. ACRA is actively in contact with senators and seeking additional information on the hearing. We encourage membership to listen to the hearing if possible, as this could have a direct impact on how we do our work.
