Completing the Section 106 Process

Requests for Project Review initiate consultation with the DHR. Additional steps under Section 106 (and its state companion RSA 227C:9) include identification, assessment of effects (adverse and otherwise), and resolution of adverse effects. The DHR, other state agencies, and many federal agencies maintain a wide range of policies, protocols, and procedures to guide undertakings (projects) through the Section 106 process appropriately and efficiently. These are in addition to the federal regulations related to Section 106: 36 CFR Part 800. DHR also requires the use of New Hampshire-specific templates, instructions, and guidance in the preparation of reports and forms.
