      commemoration of former Presidents of the United States

-STATUTE-
    (a) Authority to conduct survey
      The Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter referred to as the
    "Secretary") is authorized to conduct a survey of sites which he
    deems exhibit qualities most appropriate for the commemoration of
    each former President of the United States. The survey may include
    sites associated with the deeds, leadership, or lifework of a
    former President, and it may identify sites or structures
    historically unrelated to a former President but which may be
    suitable as a memorial to honor such President.
    (b) Preparation and transmittal to Congressional committees of
      reports on individual sites and structures
      The Secretary shall, from time to time, prepare and transmit to
    the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives
    and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United
    States Senate reports on individual sites and structures identified
    in the survey referred to in subsection (a) of this section,
    together with his recommendation as to whether such site or
    structure is suitable for establishment as a national historic site
    or national memorial to commemorate a former President. Each such
    report shall include pertinent information with respect to the need
    for acquisition of lands and interests therein, the development of
    facilities, and the operation and maintenance of the site or
    structure and the estimated cost thereof. If during the six-month
    period following the transmittal of a report pursuant to this
    subsection neither Committee has by vote of a majority of its
    members disapproved a recommendation of the Secretary that a site
    or structure is suitable for establishment as a national historic
    site, the Secretary may thereafter by appropriate order establish
    the same as a national historic site, including the lands and
    interests therein identified in the report accompanying his
    recommendation. The Secretary may acquire the lands and interests
    therein by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated funds,
    transfer from any other Federal agency, or exchange, and he shall
    administer the site in accordance with sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 of
    this title, as amended and supplemented, and sections 461 to 467 of
    this title, as amended.
    (c) Prohibited statutory constructions
      Nothing in this section shall be construed as diminishing the
    authority of the Secretary under sections 461 to 467 of this title
    or as authorizing the Secretary to establish any national memorial,
    creation of which is hereby expressly reserved to the Congress.
    (d) Authorization of appropriations
      There is authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be
    necessary to carry out the provisions of this section.

    extent as they deem it advisable, may, by written notice to the
    National Trust, designate any officer of their respective

    chosen to fill a vacancy occurring prior to the expiration of such
    term shall be chosen only for the remainder of that term. The
    chairman of the board of trustees shall be elected by a majority
    vote of the members of the board. No compensation shall be paid to
    the members of the board of trustees for their services as such
    members, but they shall be reimbursed for travel and actual
    expenses necessarily incurred by them in attending board meetings
    and performing other official duties on behalf of the National
    Trust at the direction of the board.

-HEAD-
    Sec. 469l. Findings and purposes

-STATUTE-
    (a) Findings
      The Congress finds the following:
        (1) The Underground Railroad, which flourished from the end of
      the 18th century to the end of the Civil War, was one of the most
      significant expressions of the American civil rights movement
      during its evolution over more than three centuries.
        (2) The Underground Railroad bridged the divides of race,
      religion, sectional differences, and nationality; spanned State
      lines and international borders; and joined the American ideals
      of liberty and freedom expressed in the Declaration of
      Independence and the Constitution to the extraordinary actions of
      ordinary men and women working in common purpose to free a
      people.
        (3) Pursuant to title VI of Public Law 101-628 (16 U.S.C. 1a-5
      note; 104 Stat. 4495), the Underground Railroad Advisory
      Committee conducted a study of the appropriate means of
      establishing an enduring national commemorative Underground
      Railroad program of education, example, reflection, and
      reconciliation.
        (4) The Underground Railroad Advisory Committee found that - 
          (A) although a few elements of the Underground Railroad story
        are represented in existing National Park Service units and
        other sites, many sites are in imminent danger of being lost or
        destroyed, and many important resource types are not adequately
        represented and protected;
          (B) there are many important sites which have high potential
        for preservation and visitor use in 29 States, the District of
        Columbia, and the Virgin Islands;
          (C) no single site or route completely reflects and
        characterizes the Underground Railroad, since its story and
        associated resources involve networks and regions of the
        country rather than individual sites and trails; and
          (D) establishment of a variety of partnerships between the
        Federal Government and other levels of government and the
        private sector would be most appropriate for the protection and
        interpretation of the Underground Railroad.

        (5) The National Park Service can play a vital role in
      facilitating the national commemoration of the Underground
      Railroad.
        (6) The story and significance of the Underground Railroad can
      best engage the American people through a national program of the
      National Park Service that links historic buildings, structures,
      and sites; routes, geographic areas, and corridors; interpretive
      centers, museums, and institutions; and programs, activities,
      community projects, exhibits, and multimedia materials, in a
      manner that is both unified and flexible.
    (b) Purposes
      The purposes of sections 469l to 469l-2 of this title are the
    following:
        (1) To recognize the importance of the Underground Railroad,
      the sacrifices made by those who used the Underground Railroad in
      search of freedom from tyranny and oppression, and the sacrifices
      made by the people who helped them.
        (2) To authorize the National Park Service to coordinate and
      facilitate Federal and non-Federal activities to commemorate,
      honor, and interpret the history of the Underground Railroad, its
      significance as a crucial element in the evolution of the
      national civil rights movement, and its relevance in fostering
      the spirit of racial harmony and national reconciliation.

      regional governmental bodies, and private entities; and
        (2) in cooperation with the Secretary of State, the governments
      of Canada, Mexico, and any appropriate country in the Caribbean.

      There are authorized to be appropriated to carry out sections
    469l to 469l-2 of this title not more than $500,000 for each fiscal

      times to the public portions of such property for interpretive
      and other purposes; and

    Sec. 470. Short title; Congressional finding and declaration of
      policy

-STATUTE-
      (a) This subchapter may be cited as the "National Historic
    Preservation Act".
      (b) The Congress finds and declares that - 
        (1) the spirit and direction of the Nation are founded upon and
      reflected in its historic heritage;
        (2) the historical and cultural foundations of the Nation
      should be preserved as a living part of our community life and
      development in order to give a sense of orientation to the
      American people;
        (3) historic properties significant to the Nation's heritage
      are being lost or substantially altered, often inadvertently,
      with increasing frequency;
        (4) the preservation of this irreplaceable heritage is in the
      public interest so that its vital legacy of cultural,
      educational, aesthetic, inspirational, economic, and energy
      benefits will be maintained and enriched for future generations
      of Americans;
        (5) in the face of ever-increasing extensions of urban centers,
      highways, and residential, commercial, and industrial
      developments, the present governmental and nongovernmental
      historic preservation programs and activities are inadequate to
      insure future generations a genuine opportunity to appreciate and
      enjoy the rich heritage of our Nation;
        (6) the increased knowledge of our historic resources, the
      establishment of better means of identifying and administering
      them, and the encouragement of their preservation will improve
      the planning and execution of Federal and federally assisted
      projects and will assist economic growth and development; and
        (7) although the major burdens of historic preservation have
      been borne and major efforts initiated by private agencies and
      individuals, and both should continue to play a vital role, it is
      nevertheless necessary and appropriate for the Federal Government
      to accelerate its historic preservation programs and activities,
      to give maximum encouragement to agencies and individuals
      undertaking preservation by private means, and to assist State
      and local governments and the National Trust for Historic
      Preservation in the United States to expand and accelerate their
      historic preservation programs and activities.

      Ex. Ord. No. 11593, May 13, 1971, 36 F.R. 8921, provided:
      By virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the
    United States and in furtherance of the purposes and policies of
    the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (83 Stat. 852, 42
    U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the National Historic Preservation Act of
    1966 (80 Stat. 915, 16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), the Historic Sites Act
    of 1935 (49 Stat. 666, 16 U.S.C. 461 et seq.), and the Antiquities
    Act of 1906 (34 Stat. 225, 16 U.S.C. 431 et seq.), it is ordered as
    follows:
      Section 1. Policy. The Federal Government shall provide
    leadership in preserving, restoring and maintaining the historic
    and cultural environment of the Nation. Agencies of the executive
    branch of the Government (hereinafter referred to as "Federal
    agencies") shall (1) administer the cultural properties under their
    control in a spirit of stewardship and trusteeship for future
    generations, (2) initiate measures necessary to direct their
    policies, plans and programs in such a way that federally owned
    sites, structures, and objects of historical, architectural or
    archaeological significance are preserved, restored and maintained
    for the inspiration and benefit of the people, and (3), in
    consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (16
    U.S.C. 470i), institute procedures to assure that Federal plans and
    programs contribute to the preservation and enhancement of non-
    federally owned sites, structures and objects of historical,
    architectural or archaeological significance.
      Sec. 2. Responsibilities of Federal agencies. Consonant with the
    provisions of the acts cited in the first paragraph of this order,
    the heads of Federal agencies shall:
      (a) no later than July 1, 1973, with the advice of the Secretary
    of the Interior, and in cooperation with the liaison officer for
    historic preservation for the State or territory involved, locate,
    inventory, and nominate to the Secretary of the Interior all sites,
    buildings, districts, and objects under their jurisdiction or
    control that appear to qualify for listing on the National Register
    of Historic Places.
      (b) exercise caution during the interim period until inventories
    and evaluations required by subsection (a) are completed to assure
    that any federally owned property that might qualify for nomination
    is not inadvertently transferred, sold, demolished or substantially
    altered. The agency head shall refer any questionable actions to
    the Secretary of the Interior for an opinion respecting the
    property's eligibility for inclusion on the National Register of
    Historic Places. The Secretary shall consult with the liaison
    officer for historic preservation for the State or territory
    involved in arriving at his opinion. Where, after a reasonable
    period in which to review and evaluate the property, the Secretary
    determines that the property is likely to meet the criteria
    prescribed for listing on the National Register of Historic Places,
    the Federal agency head shall reconsider the proposal in light of
    national environmental and preservation policy. Where, after such
    reconsideration, the Federal agency head proposes to transfer,
    sell, demolish or substantially alter the property he shall not act
    with respect to the property until the Advisory Council on Historic
    Preservation shall have been provided an opportunity to comment on
    the proposal.
      (c) initiate measures to assure that where as a result of Federal
    action or assistance a property listed on the National Register of
    Historic Places is to be substantially altered or demolished,
    timely steps be taken to make or have made records, including
    measured drawings, photographs and maps, of the property, and that
    copy of such records then be deposited in the Library of Congress
    as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey or Historic
    American Engineering Record for future use and reference. Agencies
    may call on the Department of the Interior for advice and technical
    assistance in the completion of the above records.
      (d) initiate measures and procedures to provide for the
    maintenance, through preservation, rehabilitation, or restoration,
    of federally owned and registered sites at professional standards
    prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior.
      (e) submit procedures required pursuant to subsection (d) to the
    Secretary of the Interior and to the Advisory Council on Historic
    Preservation no later than January 1, 1972, and annually
    thereafter, for review and comment.
      (f) cooperate with purchasers and transferees of a property
    listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the
    development of viable plans to use such property in a manner
    compatible with preservation objectives and which does not result
    in an unreasonable economic burden to public or private interests.
      Sec. 3. Responsibilities of the Secretary of the Interior. The
    Secretary of the Interior shall:
      (a) encourage State and local historic preservation officials to
    evaluate and survey federally owned historic properties and, where
    appropriate, to nominate such properties for listing on the
    National Register of Historic Places.
      (b) develop criteria and procedures to be applied by Federal
    agencies in the reviews and nominations required by section 2(a).
    Such criteria and procedures shall be developed in consultation
    with the affected agencies.
      (c) expedite action upon nominations to the National Register of
    Historic Places concerning federally owned properties proposed for
    sale, transfer, demolition or substantial alteration.
      (d) encourage State and Territorial liaison officers for historic
    preservation to furnish information upon request to Federal
    agencies regarding their properties which have been evaluated with
    respect to historic, architectural or archaeological significance
    and which as a result of such evaluations have not been found
    suitable for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
      (e) develop and make available to Federal agencies and State and
    local governments information concerning professional methods and
    techniques for preserving, improving, restoring and maintaining
    historic properties.
      (f) advise Federal agencies in the evaluation, identification,
    preservation, improvement, restoration and maintenance of historic
    properties.
      (g) review and evaluate the plans of transferees of surplus
    Federal properties transferred for historic monument purposes to
    assure that the historic character of such properties is preserved
    in rehabilitation, restoration, improvement, maintenance and repair
    of such properties.
      (h) review and comment upon Federal agency procedures submitted
    pursuant to section 2(e) of this order.
                                                          Richard Nixon.

      (3) Subject to the requirements of paragraph (6), any State which
    is carrying out a program approved under subsection (b) of this
    section, shall nominate to the Secretary properties which meet the
    criteria promulgated under subsection (a) of this section for
    inclusion on the National Register. Subject to paragraph (6), any
    property nominated under this paragraph or under section 470h-
    2(a)(2) of this title shall be included on the National Register
    on the date forty-five days after receipt by the Secretary of the
    nomination and the necessary documentation, unless the Secretary
    disapproves such nomination within such forty-five day period or
    unless an appeal is filed under paragraph (5).
      (4) Subject to the requirements of paragraph (6) the Secretary
    may accept a nomination directly from any person or local
    government for inclusion of a property on the National Register
    only if such property is located in a State where there is no
    program approved under subsection (b) of this section. The
    Secretary may include on the National Register any property for
    which such a nomination is made if he determines that such property
    is eligible in accordance with the regulations promulgated under
    paragraph (2). Such determination shall be made within ninety days
    from the date of the nomination unless the nomination is appealed
    under paragraph (5).
      (5) Any person or local government may appeal to the Secretary a
    nomination of any historic property for inclusion on the National
    Register and may appeal to the Secretary the failure or refusal of
    a nominating authority to nominate a property in accordance with
    this subsection.
      (6) The Secretary shall promulgate regulations requiring that
    before any property or district may be included on the National
    Register or designated as a National Historic Landmark, the owner
    or owners of such property, or a majority of the owners of the
    properties within the district in the case of an historic district,
    shall be given the opportunity (including a reasonable period of
    time) to concur in, or object to, the nomination of the property or
    district for such inclusion or designation. If the owner or owners
    of any privately owned property, or a majority of the owners of
    such properties within the district in the case of an historic
    district, object to such inclusion or designation, such property
    shall not be included on the National Register or designated as a
    National Historic Landmark until such objection is withdrawn. The
    Secretary shall review the nomination of the property or district
    where any such objection has been made and shall determine whether
    or not the property or district is eligible for such inclusion or
    designation, and if the Secretary determines that such property or
    district is eligible for such inclusion or designation, he shall
    inform the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the
    appropriate State Historic Preservation Officer, the appropriate
    chief elected local official and the owner or owners of such
    property, of his determination. The regulations under this
    paragraph shall include provisions to carry out the purposes of
    this paragraph in the case of multiple ownership of a single
    property.
      (7) The Secretary shall promulgate, or revise, regulations -

      469 et seq.], and the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of
      1979 (16 U.S.C. 470aa and following) are deposited in an
      institution with adequate long-term curatorial capabilities;
        (B) establishing a uniform process and standards for

        (C) certifying local governments, in accordance with subsection
      (c)(1) of this section and for the allocation of funds pursuant
      to section 470c(c) of this title.

      (8) The Secretary shall, at least once every 4 years, in
    consultation with the Council and with State Historic Preservation
    Officers, review significant threats to properties included in, or
    eligible for inclusion on, the National Register, in order to - 
        (A) determine the kinds of properties that may be threatened;
        (B) ascertain the causes of the threats; and
        (C) develop and submit to the President and Congress
      recommendations for appropriate action.

    of State Historic Preservation Officers and the National Trust for
    Historic Preservation, shall promulgate or revise regulations for
    State Historic Preservation Programs. Such regulations shall
    provide that a State program submitted to the Secretary under this
    section shall be approved by the Secretary if he determines that
    the program - 
        (A) provides for the designation and appointment by the
      Governor of a "State Historic Preservation Officer" to administer
      such program in accordance with paragraph (3) and for the
      employment or appointment by such officer of such professionally
      qualified staff as may be necessary for such purposes;

    approval of any State program under this subsection, the Secretary,
    in consultation with the Council on the appropriate provisions of
    this subchapter, and in cooperation with the State Historic
    Preservation Officer, shall evaluate the program to determine
    whether it is consistent with this subchapter.
      (B) If, at any time, the Secretary determines that a major aspect
    of a State program is not consistent with this subchapter, the
    Secretary shall disapprove the program and suspend in whole or in
    part any contracts or cooperative agreements with the State and the
    State Historic Preservation Officer under this subchapter, until
    the program is consistent with this subchapter, unless the
    Secretary determines that the program will be made consistent with
    this subchapter within a reasonable period of time.
      (C) The Secretary, in consultation with State Historic
    Preservation Officers, shall establish oversight methods to ensure
    State program consistency and quality without imposing undue review
    burdens on State Historic Preservation Officers.
      (D) At the discretion of the Secretary, a State system of fiscal
    audit and management may be substituted for comparable Federal
    systems so long as the State system - 
        (i) establishes and maintains substantially similar
      accountability standards; and
        (ii) provides for independent professional peer review.

    The Secretary may also conduct periodic fiscal audits of State
    programs approved under this section as needed and shall ensure
    that such programs meet applicable accountability standards.
      (3) It shall be the responsibility of the State Historic

      (4) Any State may carry out all or any part of its
    responsibilities under this subsection by contract or cooperative
    agreement with any qualified nonprofit organization or educational
    institution.
      (5) Any State historic preservation program in effect under prior
    authority of law may be treated as an approved program for purposes
    of this subsection until the earlier of - 
        (A) the date on which the Secretary approves a program

    Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to provide that any
    State Historic Preservation Officer or any other person other than
    the Secretary shall have the authority to maintain the National
    Register for properties in any State.
      (B) The Secretary may enter into a contract or cooperative
    agreement under subparagraph (A) only if -

      State, if there is to be any, for the costs of carrying out such
      responsibility.

      (C) For each significant program area under the Secretary's

    criteria essential for the assumption by State Historic
    Preservation Officers of the Secretary's duties in each such
    program.
      (D) Nothing in this subsection shall have the effect of

      it under this subchapter.

    Where there is no approved State program, a local government may be
    certified by the Secretary if he determines that such local
    government meets the requirements of subparagraphs (A) through (E);
    and in any such case the Secretary may make grants-in-aid to the
    local government for purposes of this section.

    subsection (a) of this section. Any report and recommendations made
    under this section shall be included with any nomination submitted
    by the State to the Secretary.
      (3) Any local government certified under this section or which is
    making efforts to become so certified shall be eligible for funds
    under the provisions of section 470c(c) of this title, and shall
    carry out any responsibilities delegated to it in accordance with
    such terms and conditions as the Secretary deems necessary or
    advisable.

    tribes, State Historic Preservation Officers, and Federal agencies
    in historic preservation planning and in the identification,
    evaluation, protection, and interpretation of historic properties.
      (B) The program under subparagraph (A) shall be developed in such
    a manner as to ensure that tribal values are taken into account to
    the extent feasible. The Secretary may waive or modify requirements
    of this section to conform to the cultural setting of tribal
    heritage preservation goals and objectives. The tribal programs
    implemented by specific tribal organizations may vary in scope, as
    determined by each tribe's chief governing authority.
      (C) The Secretary shall consult with Indian tribes, other Federal
    agencies, State Historic Preservation Officers, and other

      undertakings under section 470f of this title), and other tribes,
      if any, whose tribal or aboriginal lands may be affected by
      conduct of the tribal preservation program - 
          (i) that the tribal preservation program is fully capable of
        carrying out the functions specified in the plan provided under
        subparagraph (C);
          (ii) that the plan defines the remaining responsibilities of
        the Secretary and the State Historic Preservation Officer; and
          (iii) that the plan provides, with respect to properties
        neither owned by a member of the tribe nor held in trust by the
        Secretary for the benefit of the tribe, at the request of the

        addition to the tribal preservation official, may exercise the
        historic preservation responsibilities in accordance with
        subsections (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section; and

      (4) At the request of a tribe whose preservation program has been
    approved to assume functions and responsibilities pursuant to
    paragraph (2), the Secretary shall enter into contracts or
    cooperative agreements with such tribe permitting the assumption by
    the tribe of any part of the responsibilities referred to in
    subsection (b)(6) of this section on tribal land, if -

      assistance, if any, to the tribe for the costs of carrying out
      such authorities;
        (B) the Secretary finds that the tribal historic preservation

      contract or cooperative agreement and this subchapter; and
        (C) the contract or cooperative agreement specifies the

      appropriate State Historic Preservation Officers and provides for
      appropriate participation by - 
          (i) the tribe's traditional cultural authorities;
          (ii) representatives of other tribes whose traditional lands
        are under the jurisdiction of the tribe assuming

    to permit undertakings on tribal land to be reviewed under tribal
    historic preservation regulations in place of review under
    regulations promulgated by the Council to govern compliance with
    section 470f of this title, if the Council, after consultation with

    historic properties consideration equivalent to those afforded by
    the Council's regulations.

    construed to authorize the use of any funds made available under
    this section for the acquisition of any property referred to in the
    preceding sentence.
      (5) The Secretary shall administer a program of direct grants to

    approve the 'Compact of Free Association' between the United States
    and Government of Palau, and for other purposes" [48 U.S.C. 1931 et
    seq.]. The goal of the program shall be to establish historic and
    cultural preservation programs that meet the unique needs of each
    Micronesian State so that at the termination of the compacts the

    Sec. 470c. Apportionment of grant funds

-STATUTE-
    (a) Basis for apportionment
      The amounts appropriated and made available for grants to the
    States for the purposes of this subchapter shall be apportioned
    among the States by the Secretary on the basis of needs as
    determined by him.
    (b) Basis; notification to State; reapportionment
      The amounts appropriated and made available for grants to the
    States for projects and programs under this subchapter for each
    fiscal year shall be apportioned among the States as the Secretary
    determines to be appropriate.
      The Secretary shall notify each State of its apportionment under
    this subsection within thirty days following the date of enactment
    of legislation appropriating funds under this subchapter. Any
    amount of any apportionment that has not been paid or obligated by
    the Secretary during the fiscal year in which such notification is
    given, and for two fiscal years thereafter, shall be reapportioned
    by the Secretary in accordance with this subsection. The Secretary
    shall analyze and revise as necessary the method of apportionment.
    Such method and any revision thereof shall be published by the
    Secretary in the Federal Register.
    (c) Transfer of funds to local governments
      A minimum of 10 per centum of the annual apportionment
    distributed by the Secretary to each State for the purposes of
    carrying out this subchapter shall be transferred by the State,
    pursuant to the requirements of this subchapter, to local
    governments which are certified under section 470a(c) of this title
    for historic preservation projects or programs of such local
    governments. In any year in which the total annual apportionment to
    the States exceeds $65,000,000, one half of the excess shall also
    be transferred by the States to local governments certified
    pursuant to section 470a(c) of this title.
    (d) Guidelines for use and distribution of funds to local
      governments
      The Secretary shall establish guidelines for the use and
    distribution of funds under subsection (c) of this section to
    insure that no local government receives a disproportionate share
    of the funds available, and may include a maximum or minimum
    limitation on the amount of funds distributed to any single local
    government. The guidelines shall not limit the ability of any State
    to distribute more than 10 per centum of its annual apportionment
    under subsection (c) of this section, nor shall the Secretary
    require any State to exceed the 10 per centum minimum distribution
    to local governments.

    the National Register.
    (b) Loan qualifications
      A loan may be insured under this section only if -

      Secretary as financially sound and able to service the loan
      properly;

      secured and there is reasonable assurance of repayment;
        (5) the repayment period of the loan does not exceed the lesser
      of forty years or the expected life of the asset financed;
        (6) the amount insured with respect to such loan does not
      exceed 90 per centum of the loss sustained by the lender with
      respect to the loan; and
        (7) the loan, the borrower, and the historic property to be
      preserved meet other terms and conditions as may be prescribed by
      the Secretary, by rule, especially terms and conditions relating
      to the nature and quality of the preservation work.

    The Secretary shall consult with the Secretary of the Treasury
    regarding the interest rate of loans insured under this section.
    (c) Limitation on amount of unpaid principal balance of loans
      The aggregate unpaid principal balance of loans insured under
    this section and outstanding at any one time may not exceed the
    amount which has been covered into the Historic Preservation Fund
    pursuant to section 470h of this title and subsections (g) and (i)
    of this section, as in effect on December 12, 1980, but which has
    not been appropriated for any purpose.
    (d) Assignability of insurance contracts; contract as obligation of
      United States; contestability
      Any contract of insurance executed by the Secretary under this
    section may be assignable, shall be an obligation supported by the

    (f) Protection of financial interests of Federal Government
      In entering into any contract to insure a loan under this

    protection of the financial interests of the Federal Government.
    The Secretary may - 
        (1) in connection with any foreclosure proceeding, obtain, on
      behalf of the Federal Government, the property securing a loan
      insured under this part; and

      necessary to protect the interest of the Federal Government and
      to carry out subsection (g) of this section.
    (g) Conveyance to governmental or nongovernmental entity of
      property acquired by foreclosure
      (1) In any case in which a historic property is obtained pursuant
    to subsection (f) of this section, the Secretary shall attempt to

    under such conditions as will ensure the property's continued
    preservation and use; except that if, after a reasonable time, the
    Secretary, in consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic
    Preservation, determines that there is no feasible and prudent
    means to convey such property and to ensure its continued
    preservation and use, then the Secretary may convey the property at
    the fair market value of its interest in such property to any
    entity without restriction.
      (2) Any funds obtained by the Secretary in connection with the
    conveyance of any property pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be

    to the amounts covered into such fund pursuant to section 470h of
    this title and subsection (g) of this section, and shall remain
    available in such fund until appropriated by the Congress to carry
    out purposes of this subchapter.
    (i) Treatment of loans as non-Federal funds
      Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any loan insured
    under this section shall be treated as non-Federal funds for the
    purposes of satisfying any requirement of any other provision of
    law under which Federal funds to be used for any project or
    activity are conditioned upon the use of non-Federal funds by the
    recipient for payment of any portion of the costs of such project
    or activity.

    controlled by such agency. Prior to acquiring, constructing, or
    leasing buildings for purposes of carrying out agency
    responsibilities, each Federal agency shall use, to the maximum
    extent feasible, historic properties available to the agency, in
    accordance with Executive Order No. 13006, issued May 21, 1996 (61
    Fed. Reg. 26071). Each agency shall undertake, consistent with the
    preservation of such properties and the mission of the agency and

    of this title, any preservation, as may be necessary to carry out
    this section.
      (2) Each Federal agency shall establish (unless exempted pursuant
    to section 470v of this title), in consultation with the Secretary,
    a preservation program for the identification, evaluation, and
    nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, and
    protection of historic properties. Such program shall ensure - 
        (A) that historic properties under the jurisdiction or control
      of the agency, are identified, evaluated, and nominated to the
      National Register;
        (B) that such properties under the jurisdiction or control of
      the agency as are listed in or may be eligible for the National
      Register are managed and maintained in a way that considers the
      preservation of their historic, archaeological, architectural,
      and cultural values in compliance with section 470f of this title
      and gives special consideration to the preservation of such
      values in the case of properties designated as having National
      significance;
        (C) that the preservation of properties not under the
      jurisdiction or control of the agency, but subject to be
      potentially affected by agency actions are given full
      consideration in planning;
        (D) that the agency's preservation-related activities are
      carried out in consultation with other Federal, State, and local
      agencies, Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations carrying
      out historic preservation planning activities, and with the
      private sector; and
        (E) that the agency's procedures for compliance with section
      470f of this title - 
          (i) are consistent with regulations issued by the Council
        pursuant to section 470s of this title;

        governments, Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations, and
        the interested public, as appropriate, regarding the means by
        which adverse effects on such properties will be considered;
        and
          (iii) provide for the disposition of Native American cultural
        items from Federal or tribal land in a manner consistent with
        section 3002(c) of title 25.
    (b) Records on historic properties to be altered or demolished;
      deposit in Library of Congress or other appropriate agency
      Each Federal agency shall initiate measures to assure that where,
    as a result of Federal action or assistance carried out by such
    agency, an historic property is to be substantially altered or
    demolished, timely steps are taken to make or have made appropriate
    records, and that such records then be deposited, in accordance
    with section 470a(a) of this title, in the Library of Congress or
    with such other appropriate agency as may be designated by the
    Secretary, for future use and reference.
    (c) Agency Preservation Officer; responsibilities; qualifications
      The head of each Federal agency shall, unless exempted under
    section 470v of this title, designate a qualified official to be
    known as the agency's "preservation officer" who shall be
    responsible for coordinating that agency's activities under this
    subchapter. Each Preservation Officer may, in order to be
    considered qualified, satisfactorily complete an appropriate
    training program established by the Secretary under section 470a(h)
    of this title.
    (d) Agency programs and projects
      Consistent with the agency's missions and mandates, all Federal
    agencies shall carry out agency programs and projects (including
    those under which any Federal assistance is provided or any Federal
    license, permit, or other approval is required) in accordance with
    the purposes of this subchapter and, give consideration to programs
    and projects which will further the purposes of this subchapter.
    (e) Review of plans of transferees of surplus federally owned
      historic properties
      The Secretary shall review and approve the plans of transferees
    of surplus federally owned historic properties not later than
    ninety days after his receipt of such plans to ensure that the
    prehistorical, historical, architectural, or culturally significant
    values will be preserved or enhanced.
    (f) Planning and actions to minimize harm to National Historic
      Landmarks
      Prior to the approval of any Federal undertaking which may
    directly and adversely affect any National Historic Landmark, the
    head of the responsible Federal agency shall, to the maximum extent
    possible, undertake such planning and actions as may be necessary
    to minimize harm to such landmark, and shall afford the Advisory
    Council on Historic Preservation a reasonable opportunity to
    comment on the undertaking.
    (g) Costs of preservation as eligible project costs
      Each Federal agency may include the costs of preservation
    activities of such agency under this subchapter as eligible project
    costs in all undertakings of such agency or assisted by such
    agency. The eligible project costs may also include amounts paid by
    a Federal agency to any State to be used in carrying out such
    preservation responsibilities of the Federal agency under this
    subchapter, and reasonable costs may be charged to Federal
    licensees and permittees as a condition to the issuance of such
    license or permit.
    (h) Annual preservation awards program
      The Secretary shall establish an annual preservation awards
    program under which he may make monetary awards in amounts of not
    to exceed $1,000 and provide citations for special achievement to
    officers and employees of Federal, State, and certified local
    governments in recognition of their outstanding contributions to
    the preservation of historic resources. Such program may include
    the issuance of annual awards by the President of the United States
    to any citizen of the United States recommended for such award by
    the Secretary.
    (i) Environmental impact statement
      Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to require the
    preparation of an environmental impact statement where such a
    statement would not otherwise be required under the National
    Environmental Policy Act of 1969 [42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.], and
    nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to provide any
    exemption from any requirement respecting the preparation of such a
    statement under such Act.
    (j) Waiver of provisions in event of natural disaster or imminent
      threat to national security
      The Secretary shall promulgate regulations under which the
    requirements of this section may be waived in whole or in part in
    the event of a major natural disaster or an imminent threat to the
    national security.
    (k) Assistance for adversely affected historic property
      Each Federal agency shall ensure that the agency will not grant a
    loan, loan guarantee, permit, license, or other assistance to an
    applicant who, with intent to avoid the requirements of section
    470f of this title, has intentionally significantly adversely
    affected a historic property to which the grant would relate, or
    having legal power to prevent it, allowed such significant adverse
    effect to occur, unless the agency, after consultation with the
    Council, determines that circumstances justify granting such
    assistance despite the adverse effect created or permitted by the
    applicant.
    (l) Documentation of decisions respecting undertakings
      With respect to any undertaking subject to section 470f of this
    title which adversely affects any property included in or eligible
    for inclusion in the National Register, and for which a Federal
    agency has not entered into an agreement pursuant to regulations
    issued by the Council, the head of such agency shall document any
    decision made pursuant to section 470f of this title. The head of
    such agency may not delegate his or her responsibilities pursuant
    to such section. Where a section 106 [16 U.S.C. 470f] memorandum of
    agreement has been executed with respect to an undertaking, such
    memorandum shall govern the undertaking and all of its parts.

-EXEC-
                   EX. ORD. NO. 13287. PRESERVE AMERICA               
      Ex. Ord. No. 13287, Mar. 3, 2003, 68 F.R. 10635, provided:
      By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution
    and the laws of the United States of America, including the
    National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.) (NHPA)
    and the National Environmental Policy Act [of 1969] (42 U.S.C. 4321
    et seq.), it is hereby ordered:
      Section 1. Statement of Policy. It is the policy of the Federal
    Government to provide leadership in preserving America's heritage
    by actively advancing the protection, enhancement, and contemporary
    use of the historic properties owned by the Federal Government, and
    by promoting intergovernmental cooperation and partnerships for the
    preservation and use of historic properties. The Federal Government
    shall recognize and manage the historic properties in its ownership
    as assets that can support department and agency missions while
    contributing to the vitality and economic well-being of the
    Nation's communities and fostering a broader appreciation for the
    development of the United States and its underlying values. Where
    consistent with executive branch department and agency missions,
    governing law, applicable preservation standards, and where
    appropriate, executive branch departments and agencies ("agency" or
    "agencies") shall advance this policy through the protection and
    continued use of the historic properties owned by the Federal
    Government, and by pursuing partnerships with State and local
    governments, Indian tribes, and the private sector to promote the
    preservation of the unique cultural heritage of communities and of
    the Nation and to realize the economic benefit that these
    properties can provide. Agencies shall maximize efforts to
    integrate the policies, procedures, and practices of the NHPA and
    this order into their program activities in order to efficiently
    and effectively advance historic preservation objectives in the
    pursuit of their missions.
      Sec. 2. Building Preservation Partnerships. When carrying out its
    mission activities, each agency, where consistent with its mission
    and governing authorities, and where appropriate, shall seek
    partnerships with State and local governments, Indian tribes, and
    the private sector to promote local economic development and
    vitality through the use of historic properties in a manner that
    contributes to the long-term preservation and productive use of
    those properties. Each agency shall examine its policies,
    procedures, and capabilities to ensure that its actions encourage,
    support, and foster public-private initiatives and investment in
    the use, reuse, and rehabilitation of historic properties, to the
    extent such support is not inconsistent with other provisions of
    law, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Archeology and
    Historic Preservation, and essential national department and agency
    mission requirements.
      Sec. 3. Improving Federal Agency Planning and Accountability. (a)
    Accurate information on the state of Federally owned historic
    properties is essential to achieving the goals of this order and to
    promoting community economic development through local
    partnerships. Each agency with real property management
    responsibilities shall prepare an assessment of the current status
    of its inventory of historic properties required by section
    110(a)(2) of the NHPA (16 U.S.C. 470h-2(a)(2)), the general
    condition and management needs of such properties, and the steps
    underway or planned to meet those management needs. The assessment
    shall also include an evaluation of the suitability of the agency's
    types of historic properties to contribute to community economic
    development initiatives, including heritage tourism, taking into
    account agency mission needs, public access considerations, and the
    long-term preservation of the historic properties. No later than
    September 30, 2004, each covered agency shall complete a report of
    the assessment and make it available to the Chairman of the
    Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (Council) and the
    Secretary of the Interior (Secretary).
      (b) No later than September 30, 2004, each agency with real
    property management responsibilities shall review its regulations,
    management policies, and operating procedures for compliance with
    sections 110 and 111 of the NHPA (16 U.S.C. 470h-2 & 470-3) and
    make the results of its review available to the Council and the
    Secretary. If the agency determines that its regulations,
    management policies, and operating procedures are not in compliance
    with those authorities, the agency shall make amendments or
    revisions to bring them into compliance.
      (c) Each agency with real property management responsibilities
    shall, by September 30, 2005, and every third year thereafter,
    prepare a report on its progress in identifying, protecting, and
    using historic properties in its ownership and make the report
    available to the Council and the Secretary. The Council shall
    incorporate this data into a report on the state of the Federal
    Government's historic properties and their contribution to local
    economic development and submit this report to the President by
    February 15, 2006, and every third year thereafter.
      (d) Agencies may use existing information gathering and reporting
    systems to fulfill the assessment and reporting requirements of
    subsections 3(a)-(c) of this order. To assist agencies, the
    Council, in consultation with the Secretary, shall, by September
    30, 2003, prepare advisory guidelines for agencies to use at their
    discretion.
      (e) No later than June 30, 2003, the head of each agency shall
    designate a senior policy level official to have policy oversight
    responsibility for the agency's historic preservation program and
    notify the Council and the Secretary of the designation. This
    senior official shall be an assistant secretary, deputy assistant
    secretary, or the equivalent, as appropriate to the agency
    organization. This official, or a subordinate employee reporting
    directly to the official, shall serve as the agency's Federal
    Preservation Officer in accordance with section 110(c) of the NHPA.
    The senior official shall ensure that the Federal Preservation
    Officer is qualified consistent with guidelines established by the
    Secretary for that position and has access to adequate expertise
    and support to carry out the duties of the position.
      Sec. 4. Improving Federal Stewardship of Historic Properties. (a)
    Each agency shall ensure that the management of historic properties
    in its ownership is conducted in a manner that promotes the long-
    term preservation and use of those properties as Federal assets
    and, where consistent with agency missions, governing law, and the
    nature of the properties, contributes to the local community and
    its economy.
      (b) Where consistent with agency missions and the Secretary of
    the Interior's Standards for Archeology and Historic Preservation,
    and where appropriate, agencies shall cooperate with communities to
    increase opportunities for public benefit from, and access to,
    Federally owned historic properties.
      (c) The Council is directed to use its existing authority to
    encourage and accept donations of money, equipment, and other
    resources from public and private parties to assist other agencies
    in the preservation of historic properties in Federal ownership to
    fulfill the goals of the NHPA and this order.
      (d) The National Park Service, working with the Council and in
    consultation with other agencies, shall make available existing
    materials and information for education, training, and awareness of
    historic property stewardship to ensure that all Federal personnel
    have access to information and can develop the skills necessary to
    continue the productive use of Federally owned historic properties
    while meeting their stewardship responsibilities.
      (e) The Council, in consultation with the National Park Service
    and other agencies, shall encourage and recognize exceptional
    achievement by such agencies in meeting the goals of the NHPA and
    this order. By March 31, 2004, the Council shall submit to the
    President and the heads of agencies recommendations to further
    stimulate initiative, creativity, and efficiency in the Federal
    stewardship of historic properties.
      Sec. 5. Promoting Preservation Through Heritage Tourism.
      (a) To the extent permitted by law and within existing resources,
    the Secretary of Commerce, working with the Council and other
    agencies, shall assist States, Indian tribes, and local communities
    in promoting the use of historic properties for heritage tourism
    and related economic development in a manner that contributes to
    the long-term preservation and productive use of those properties.
    Such assistance shall include efforts to strengthen and improve
    heritage tourism activities throughout the country as they relate
    to Federally owned historic properties and significant natural
    assets on Federal lands.
      (b) Where consistent with agency missions and governing law, and
    where appropriate, agencies shall use historic properties in their
    ownership in conjunction with State, tribal, and local tourism
    programs to foster viable economic partnerships, including, but not
    limited to, cooperation and coordination with tourism officials and
    others with interests in the properties.
      Sec. 6. National and Homeland Security Considerations.
      Nothing in this order shall be construed to require any agency to
    take any action or disclose any information that would conflict
    with or compromise national and homeland security goals, policies,
    programs, or activities.
      Sec. 7. Definitions. For the purposes of this order, the term
    "historic property" means any prehistoric or historic district,
    site, building, structure, and object included on or eligible for
    inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places in accordance
    with section 301(5) of the NHPA (16 U.S.C. 470w(5)). The term
    "heritage tourism" means the business and practice of attracting
    and accommodating visitors to a place or area based especially on
    the unique or special aspects of that locale's history, landscape
    (including trail systems), and culture. The terms "Federally owned"
    and "in Federal ownership," and similar terms, as used in this
    order, do not include properties acquired by agencies as a result
    of foreclosure or similar actions and that are held for a period of
    less than 5 years.
      Sec. 8. Judicial Review. This order is intended only to improve
    the internal management of the Federal Government and it is not
    intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive
    or procedural, enforceable at law or equity by a party against the
    United States, its departments, agencies, instrumentalities or
    entities, its officers or employees, or any other person.

      identifying, and selecting, an eligible entity to which a
      historic light station could be conveyed for education, park,
      recreation, cultural, or historic preservation purposes, and to
      monitor the use of such light station by the eligible entity.
      (2) Application review
        The Secretary shall review all applications for the conveyance
      of a historic light station, when the agency with administrative

      Federal Property Administrative Services Act of 1949 (!1) (40
      U.S.C. 472(e)), and forward to the Administrator a single
      approved application for the conveyance of the historic light

      paragraph, the Secretary is encouraged to enter into cooperative
      agreements with appropriate eligible entities, as provided in

        are approved by the Secretary; and
          (H) the United States shall have the right, at any time, to
        enter the historic light station conveyed under this section
        without notice, for purposes of operating, maintaining, and
        inspecting any aid to navigation and for the purpose of
        ensuring compliance with this subsection, to the extent that it

        In addition to any term or condition established pursuant to
      this subsection, the conveyance of a historic light station shall
      include a condition that the historic light station, or any
      associated historic artifact conveyed to the eligible entity in
      conjunction with the historic light station conveyance, including
      but not limited to any lens or lanterns, at the option of the
      Administrator, shall revert to the United States and be placed
      under the administrative control of the Administrator, if -

        station or any part thereof is needed for national security
        purposes.
      (4) Light stations originally conveyed under other authority
        Upon receiving notice of an executed or intended conveyance by
      an owner who - 
          (A) received from the Federal Government under authority
        other than this subchapter an historic light station in which
        the United States retains a reversionary or other interest; and
          (B) is conveying it to another person by sale, gift, or any
        other manner,

      the Secretary shall review the terms of the executed or proposed
      conveyance to ensure that any new owner is capable of or is
      complying with any and all conditions of the original conveyance.
      The Secretary may require the parties to the conveyance and
      relevant Federal agencies to provide such information as is
      necessary to complete this review. If the Secretary determines
      that the new owner has not or is unable to comply with those
      conditions, the Secretary shall immediately advise the
      Administrator, who shall invoke any reversionary interest or take
      such other action as may be necessary to protect the interests of
      the United States.
    (d) Description of property

      interest of the United States in and to any historical artifact,
      including any lens or lantern, that is associated with the
      historic light station and located at the light station at the
      time of conveyance. Wherever possible, such historical artifacts
      should be used in interpreting that station. In cases where there
      is no method for preserving lenses and other artifacts and
      equipment in situ, priority should be given to preservation or
      museum entities most closely associated with the station, if they
      meet loan requirements.
      (2) Artifacts
        Artifacts associated with, but not located at, the historic
      light station at the time of conveyance shall remain the personal
      property of the United States under the administrative control of
      the Commandant, United States Coast Guard.

      The Congress finds and declares that, given the complexity of
    technical problems encountered in preserving historic properties
    and the lack of adequate distribution of technical information to
    preserve such properties, a national initiative to coordinate and
    promote research, distribute information, and provide training
