The Army can use two pre-written "Program Comment" documents to meet historic preservation rules for old military housing, instead of reviewing each building separately. One covers housing built between 1941 and 1948. The other temporarily covers housing built after 1975, through 2045.
(a) Application of Certain Authority to Capehart and Wherry Era Army Military Family Housing. To satisfy this division's requirements, the Secretary* of the Army may apply the authority and standards from the document "Program Comment for Capehart and Wherry Era Army Family Housing and Associated Structures and Landscape Features (1949–1962)," published June 7, 2002, to all military housing — including privatized military housing — built between January 1, 1941, and December 31, 1948, on a military installation the Army controls.
(b) Temporary Application of Certain Authority to Vietnam War Era Army Military Housing. From the date the Military Construction Act for Fiscal Year 2025 was enacted through December 31, 2045, the Secretary of the Army may similarly apply the authority and standards from the document "Program Comment for Vietnam War Era Historic Housing, Associated Buildings and Structures, and Landscape Features (1963–1975)," published May 4, 2023, to all military housing built after 1975 on an Army-controlled installation.
(c) Report. As part of each report the Army must submit under section 3(c) of Executive Order 13287, the Secretary of the Army must also report to the Advisory Council* on Historic Preservation* on how this section is being carried out.
(d) Rule of Construction. Nothing in this section forces, or blocks, the Secretary of the Army or the chair of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation* from amending the documents described in subsections (a) and (b).
The Secretary* of the Army, in satisfaction of requirements under this division, may apply the authority and standards contained in the document titled “Program Comment for Capehart and Wherry Era Army Family Housing and Associated Structures and Landscape Features (1949–1962)” (published on June 7, 2002) (67 Fed. Reg. 39332) to all military housing (including privatized military housing under subchapter IV of chapter 169 of title 10) constructed during the period beginning on January 1, 1941, and ending on December 31, 1948, located on a military installation under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Army.
During the period beginning on the date of the enactment of the Military Construction Act for Fiscal Year 2025 (division B of Public Law 118–159) and ending on December 31, 2045, the Secretary of the Army, in satisfaction of requirements under this division, may apply the authority and standards contained in the document titled “Program 1 Comment for Vietnam War Era Historic Housing, Associated Buildings and Structures, and Landscape Features (1963–1975)” (published on May 4, 2023) (88 Fed. Reg. 28573) to all military housing (including privatized military housing under subchapter IV of chapter 169 of title 10) constructed after 1975 located on a military installation under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Army.
As part of each report of the Army required under section 3(c) of Executive Order 13287 (54 U.S.C. 306101 note), the Secretary of the Army shall submit to the Advisory Council* on Historic Preservation* a report on the implementation of this section.
Nothing in this section may be construed to preclude or require the amendment of the documents of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment described in subsection 2 (a) and (b) by the Secretary of the Army or the chair of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation*.
