<br />I' <br />' 93 CFR 3, = Preservation of American Antiquities <br />43 CFR 7, Protection of Archaeological Resources: <br />' Uniform Regulations <br />Guidelines for Federal Agency Responsibilities, Under Section <br />' 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Federal <br />Register 53.31, February 17, 1968) <br />' Archaeology and Historic Preservation: Secretary of the <br />Interior's Standards and Guidelines (Federal Register <br />98:190, September 29, 1983), and <br />' National Register Bulletins: 15, 16, 30, 31 (draft), 36. <br />Federal agency responsibilities for preservation of historic <br />' and archaeological resources began with the passage of the 1906 <br />Antiquities Act (P.L. 59-209; 16 USC 931-933). This act enabled <br />the Federal government to set aside and protect "historic <br />landmarks, historic, and prehistoric structures and other objects <br />' of historic or scientific interest." <br />The 1935 Historic Sites Act (P.L. 79-292; 16 USC 961-971) <br />expanded the role of the Department of the Interior in <br />determination and protection of "historic and archaeological sites, <br />buildings and objects." In addition, a policy to protect <br />nationally significant properties was initiated. Out of this law <br />' came the NHL program. The Reservoir Salvage Act of 1960 (P.L. 86- <br />523; 74 Stat. 2201; 16 USC 969-469c) facilitated the protection of <br />' data from resources impacted by reservoir construction. The <br />resources had to be of "exceptional historical or archaeological <br />significance." <br />' The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 (P.L. <br />69-665; 16 USC 970, as amended; 80 Stat. 915) mandates that all <br />federal agencies must consider the effects of their projects and <br />programs on cultural resources listed on the NRHP. Later <br />amendments (P.L. 91-293; P.L. 93-54; P.L. 94-422; P.L. 94-458; P.L. <br />' 11 <br /> <br />
