Based in Washington, DC, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) operates as an independent federal agency focused on advancing historic preservation within the federal government and nationwide. Established by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, ACHP's mandate includes assisting federal agencies and ensuring that preservation considerations are integrated into project planning and policy development. The agency functions as a federal policy advisor to the President and Congress and reviews programs and policies to improve coordination and effectiveness with national preservation goals. Its central duty is managing the Section 106 review process, under which federal agencies must assess how their projects may affect historic properties and provide ACHP an opportunity to comment before a final decision is made. Its work targets federal agencies and national policymakers by advising on administrative and legislative improvements to protect the nation's heritage, and by overseeing preservation-related activities across government programs. In May 2026, the agency announced that its Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer, Rezaur Rahman, received the Excellence in Cybersecurity award for developing an in-house cybersecurity platform.
