Section 4 of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) of 1979 (16 U.S.C. 470cc) and section 3 of the Antiquities Act (AA) of 1906 (54 U.S.C. 320302 and 320303) authorize any individual or institution to apply to Federal land managing agencies to scientifically excavate or remove archaeological resources from public or Indian lands. Permits for Archaeological Investigations ordinarily are requested either for conducting scientific research; in conjunction with statutorily required environmental clearance activities prior to commencing a Federal undertaking; or issuing a Federal license or permit for third party activities such as energy development on public or Indian lands. ARPA and AA require that Federal land managers issue Permits to qualified applicants and place terms and conditions on the Permits, including reporting requirements, as set forth in the implementing regulations for the two statutes (43 CFR Part 7 for ARPA; 43 CFR Part 3 for the AA) to ensure that the resources are scientifically excavated or removed and deposited, along with associated records, in a suitable repository for preservation. If the Permit is for work on Indian lands, ARPA requires that the Federal land manager place terms and conditions on the Permit as requested by the Indian landowner and the Indian tribe having jurisdiction over the lands. If the Permit may have an effect on a resource on public lands that has Indian tribal religious or cultural importance, ARPA requires that the Federal land manager notify the pertinent Indian tribe for the purpose of developing terms and conditions to be placed on the Permit.
