Purpose and Background The mission of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), an independent federal agency, is to promote the preservation, enhancement, and sustainable use of our nation's diverse historic resources, and advise the President and the Congress on national historic preservation policy. The ACHP issues the regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Section 106 requires federal agencies to consider the effects of projects they carry out, approve, or fund on historic properties. They must also provide the ACHP a reasonable opportunity to comment on such projects prior to the agency's decision on them. In carrying out this responsibility, agencies consult with others that have an interest in the historic preservation outcomes of federal projects. The ACHP provides technical assistance to users of the Section 106review process and conducts onsite training for state, local, and tribal government officials, Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, preservation advocates, applicants for federal assistance, and members of the public on how to carry out or participate in this federal historic preservation planning process. The ACHP currently has two active web properties, www.achp.gov and www.preserveamerica.gov. ACHP employees use the web sites to provide valuable information to its audiences.

The project ended approximately 10/14/2011. The system (Alfresco Content Management System) is still unusable with a number of issued listed in the attached document. While the Alfresco CMS implementation, customization, design, and content loading for achp's new website was done, it requires further testing to identify/fix bugs, and prepare a production-ready final product using the latest appropriate version of the Alfresco software.
