54 U.S.C. § 306113 — Anticipatory demolition

Each Federal agency^* shall ensure that the agency will not grant a loan, loan guarantee, permit, license, or other assistance to an applicant that, with intent to avoid the requirements of section 306108 of this title, has intentionally significantly adversely affected a historic property^* to which the grant would relate, or having legal power to prevent it, has allowed the significant adverse effect to occur, unless the agency, after consultation with the Council^*, determines that circumstances justify granting the assistance despite the adverse effect created or permitted by the applicant.
