Plans and Specifications Should Adhere to the Secretary’s Standards When Possible and Practical Sample Clauses

This clause requires that all plans and specifications for a project should comply with the Secretary’s Standards whenever it is feasible and reasonable to do so. In practice, this means that design documents, construction methods, and materials should align with established federal guidelines for preservation or rehabilitation, unless specific circumstances make such adherence impractical. The core function of this clause is to promote consistency with recognized best practices in historic preservation, while allowing flexibility when strict compliance is not possible, thereby balancing regulatory standards with practical project needs.
Plans and Specifications Should Adhere to the Secretary’s Standards When Possible and Practical. Secretary’s Standards outline a consistent national approach to the treatment of historic properties that can be applied flexibly in a way that relates to local character and needs. Plans and specifications for rehabilitation, new construction, and abatement of hazardous conditions in affordable housing projects associated with historic properties should adhere to the recommended approaches in the Secretary’s Standards when possible and practical. Projects taking advantage of the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit must be reviewed by the National Park Service for adherence to the Secretary’s Standards in a separate and distinct process that benefits from early coordination. The ACHP recognizes that there are instances when the Secretary’s Standards cannot be followed and that Section 106 allows for the negotiation of other outcomes.
