Section 106 Under Threat: Understanding and Responding to Federal Permitting Reform

Register

We need your voice! The proposed federal permitting reform legislation (Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026) includes changes that could significantly weaken protections for historic and cultural resources. As currently drafted, the bill’s preservation provisions would limit meaningful consultation with Tribal Nations and preservation stakeholders, narrow the scope of Section 106 review, expand unilateral federal agency authority, and constrain judicial review.

Join us for an in-depth discussion of the bill's most concerning provisions and their potential impacts on communities and historic places nationwide.

This webinar will feature a technical analysis of key legislative language, insights into the current political landscape, and practical guidance on advocacy strategies.

Speakers: Pam Bowman, Senior Director of Government Relations; Lauren Cohen, Associate Director of Government Relations; Shaw Sprague, Vice President for Government Relations
