National Park Service Proposes Revision to Information Collection for National Register of Historic Places Nominations
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The National Park Service (NPS) is proposing to revise a currently approved information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The revision relates to the process by which properties are nominated for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects deemed worthy of preservation. The Paperwork Reduction Act requires federal agencies to justify and seek approval for any collection of information from the public, ensuring that the burden on respondents is minimized. By proposing a revision, the NPS signals potential changes to the forms, data fields, or procedures used during the nomination process for historic properties. This notice invites public comment on the proposed revision, as is standard under the Act. Stakeholders, preservation organizations, state historic preservation offices, and property owners who interact with the NRHP nomination process are encouraged to review and respond to the proposal.
