19 <br /> ACHP regulations, Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties <br /> (36 M 800) provided the procedures for compliance with Section <br /> 106. The ACHP's role is one of advice and consent to review the <br /> actions of federal agencies when federal undertakings affect <br /> National Register or eligible properties. The Council also <br /> reviews plans to mitigate federally caused adverse impacts to <br /> eligible properties through the consultation process. <br /> Beyond the regulations offered in the previously discussed <br /> manuals and regulations, the Keeper of the NRHP has offered <br /> interpretations for implementing the legislation and regulations <br /> through a series of Bulletins - EM. These bulletins cover a <br /> wide variety of topics and are organized by single subjects.

NEPA mandates that American Indian <br /> sacred areas be identified for potential adverse impact. NHPA <br /> deals with identification of American Indian cultural resources. <br /> The American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 (AIRFA) (P.L. <br /> 95-341; 92 Stat. 469) provides for legalized status for sacred <br /> places, animals, artifacts, and plants of American Indians.
