Summary: The American Cultural Resources Association (ACRA), a trade association for cultural resource management companies, supports the VA's efforts to make the NEPA process more efficient but expresses concerns regarding the rescinding of CEQ regulations and the potential for inconsistent implementation. They advocate for clear integration of NEPA and Section 106 requirements, meaningful consultation with Tribes, and sufficient staffing to ensure regulatory compliance.
