These include many archaeological sites that are eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).The management policies and practices implemented by the Cultural Resources Program are a direct outgrowth of the requirements set forth in a range of national laws and regulations. These requirements dictate why, how and when cultural resources are to be protected.
