SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The World Heritage List is an 

international list of cultural and natural 

properties nominated by the signatories 

to the World Heritage Convention 

(1972), an international treaty for the 

preservation of natural and cultural 

heritage sites of global significance. U.S. 

participation and the roles of the 

Department of the Interior and the 

National Park Service are authorized by 

Title IV of the Historic Preservation Act 

Amendments of 1980 and conducted in 

accordance with 36 CFR part 73—World 

Heritage Convention. The National Park 

Service serves as the principal technical 

agency for the U.S. Government to the 

Convention. 

A Tentative List is a national list of 

natural and cultural properties 

appearing to meet the World Heritage 

Committee eligibility criteria for 

nomination to the World Heritage List. 

It is a list of candidate sites which a 

country may consider for nomination 

within a given time period, but does not 

guarantee future nomination. The World 

Heritage Committee’s Operational 

Guidelines ask participating nations to 

provide Tentative Lists, which aid in 

evaluating properties for the World 

Heritage List on a comparative 

international basis and help the 

Committee to schedule its work over the 

long term. A country cannot nominate a 

property unless it has been on its 

Tentative List for a minimum of a year. 

Countries also are limited at this time to 

nominating no more than one site in any 

given year. 

Neither inclusion in the Tentative List 

nor inscription as a World Heritage Site 

imposes legal restrictions on owners or 

neighbors of sites, nor does it give the 

United Nations any management 

authority or ownership rights in U.S. 

World Heritage Sites, which continue to 

be subject to U.S. laws.

Notes: (1) A nomination for the 

Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks was 

authorized for preparation in May 2018 

by the Department of the Interior and is 

now under development. (2) The 

Department has requested and is now 

awaiting advice from the International 

Council on Monuments and Sites 

(ICOMOS) on adding other properties to 

the proposal for the Civil Rights 

Movement Sites and its overall 

justification. (3) The government of the 

German state of Saxony is proposing an 

extension to the World Heritage listing 

of Christiansfeld, a Moravian Church 

Settlement in Denmark, that would 

include Herrnhut in Germany, the 

Moravian Bethlehem District in 

Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and 

potentially other historic Moravian 

settlements in other countries. 

Request for Public Comments 

Comments on whether to authorize 

the preparation of a World Heritage 

nomination for any of the properties on 

the Tentative List should address the 

readiness and ability of the property 

owner(s) to prepare a satisfactory 

nomination document. Suggestions for 

additions to the Tentative List not 

previously submitted must address: (i) 

How the property(ies) would meet the 

World Heritage nomination criteria, 

requirements for authenticity, integrity, 

legal protection and management. 

Information on these criteria and 

requirements can be found on the 

website noted in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

notice; and (ii) The U.S. legal 

prerequisites that include the agreement 

of all property owners to the nomination 

of their property, an official 

determination that the property is 

nationally significant (such as by 

designation as a National Historic or 

National Natural Landmark), and 

effective legal protection. All previous 

suggestions for the Tentative List made 

during previous comment periods or 

otherwise submitted since 2008, have 

been retained and considered and 

should not be resubmitted at this time. 

Selection and Nomination 

All public comments will be 

summarized and provided to 

Department of the Interior officials, who 

will obtain the advice of the Federal 

Interagency Panel for World Heritage 

before making any selection of 

properties for authorization to prepare a 

World Heritage nomination. The 

selection may include relevant factors, 

such as the likelihood of being able to 

complete a satisfactory nomination, and 

the fact that the United States is 

currently prohibited by law from 

providing any funding to UNESCO, 

including UNESCO and World Heritage 

member dues. Once authorized, the 

property owners may prepare a draft 

nomination. 

The Department does not have a fixed 

schedule for completing or submitting 

World Heritage nominations. No more 

than one nomination from any country 

may be submitted per year, per the 

UNESCO World Heritage Operational 

Guidelines. Completed nominations, if 

approved by the Department for 

submission, may be submitted to the 

UNESCO World Heritage Centre by 

February 1 of any year. 

Public Availability of Comments 

All comments will be a matter of 

public record. Before including an 

address, phone number, email address, 

or other personal identifying 

information in a comment, members of 

the public should be aware that the 

entire comment—including personal 

identifying information—may be made 

public at any time. While commenters 

can request that personal identifying 

information be withheld from public 

review, it may not be possible to comply 

with this request.
