Must a federal agency be involved, or is it enough that federal money be in the project?
Federal $$
And how directly do the federal funds need to be? If a university accepts federal
funds for purposes having nothing to do with historic resources, such as medical research, or maybe teaching, are they subject to 106 review when they go messing with historic buildings?
The $ has to be directly associated with something that happens to cultural resources (buildings structures sites objects districts) that are listed, eligible or potentially eligible for NR. Requires consultation with "consulting parties."
How about a state government, that takes money for highways, what are their
obligations in other departments.
Transportation funds are subject to DOTA (4)(f) - even better! The project must not destroy cultural resources unless there are no prudent and feasible alternatives ... hence constituting the bread and butter for projects for consultants who have to figure out what the alternatives are. :-)
