SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 1024–0009. 

Title: Historic Preservation 

Certification Application—36 CFR Part 

67. 

Form(s): 10–168 (Part 1—Evaluation 

of Significance); 10–168a (Part 2— 

Description of Rehabilitation); 10–168b 

(Amendment Sheet); 10–168c (Part 3— 

Request for Certification of Completed 

Work). 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection of 

information. 

Description of Need: Abstract. Section 

47 of the Internal Revenue Code 

requires that the Secretary of the Interior 

certify to the Secretary of the Treasury 

upon application by owners of historic 

properties for Federal tax benefits: (a) 

The historic character of the property, 

and (b) that the rehabilitation work is 

consistent with that historic character. 

The NPS administers the program with 

the Internal Revenue Service. NPS uses 

the Historic Preservation Certification 

Application to evaluate the condition 

and historic significance of buildings 

undergoing rehabilitation for continued 

use, and to evaluate whether the 

rehabilitation work meets the Secretary 

of the Interior’s Standards for 

Rehabilitation. The Standards for 

Rehabilitation are available at 36 CFR 

Part 67.7 and at http://www.nps.gov/ 

history/hps/tps/tax/ 

rehabstandards.htm. The Department of 

the Interior regulation 36 CFR Part 67 

contains a requirement for completion 

of an application form. The information 

required on the application form is 

needed to allow the authorized officer to 

determine if the applicant is qualified to 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
47956 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 180 / Friday, September 18, 2009 / Notices 

obtain historic preservation 

certifications from the Secretary of the 

Interior. These certifications are 

necessary in order for an applicant to 

receive substantial Federal tax 

incentives authorized by Section 47 of 

the Internal Revenue Code. These 

incentives include 20% Federal income 

tax credit for the rehabilitation of 

historic buildings and an income tax 

deduction for the donation of easements 

on historic properties. The Internal 

Revenue Code also provides a 10% 

Federal income tax credit for the 

rehabilitation of non-historic buildings 

built before 1936. Owners of nonhistoric buildings in historic districts 

must also use the application to obtain 

a certification from the Secretary of the 

Interior that their building does not 

contribute to the significance of the 

historic district before they claim this 

lesser tax credit for rehabilitation. 

Affected public: Individuals or 

households, businesses. 

Obligation to respond: Responses are 

required to obtain the benefit applied 

for. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total annual responses: 

5,578 responses. A total of 1,583 for 

Form 10–168, a total of 1,245 for Form 

10–168a, a total of 1,780 for Form 10– 

168b, and a total of 970 for Form 10– 

168c. 

Estimated average completion time 

per response: Completion times vary 

from .5 to 39.8 hours. 

Estimated annual reporting burden: 

25,798 hours. 

Estimated annual nonhour cost 

burden: $7,001,644 (application fees 

and contractor costs). 

Comments are invited on: (1) the 

practical utility of the information being 

gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden 

hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden to 

respondents, including use of 

automated information collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address, 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that OMB will be able 

to do so.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Establishment of the Martin Luther 

King Jr. Memorial; Notice of 

Availability 

AGENCY: Department of the Interior, 

National Park Service. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Council of 

Environmental Quality regulations and 

National Park Service policy, this notice 

announces the availability of a revised 

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 

establishment and operation of a 

national memorial to Dr. Martin Luther 

King, Jr., to be located on parkland in 

Washington, DC. The EA was first 

released in 2005. The proposed Martin 

Luther King, Jr. Memorial (Memorial) is 

conceived as a space that is quiet and 

contemplative; but also uses powerful 

and evocative symbolism to convey Dr. 

King’s message of justice, democracy, 

and hope. The approved site for the 

Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial is a 

four-acre parcel of land located on the 

northwestern side of the Tidal Basin 

within West Potomac Park (the project 

area). The triangular-shaped site is 

located across the Tidal Basin from the 

Jefferson Memorial and approximately 

750 feet north of the Franklin Delano 

Roosevelt Memorial. The site is 

generally bounded by Independence 

Avenue on the north, the pedestrian 

walkway of the Tidal Basin on the east, 

the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial 

on the south, and recreational open 

space on the west. The site also includes 

a portion of West Basin Drive. This EA 

has been revised to incorporate and 

address changes that were made in the 

proposal after the 2005 EA was issued, 

and to otherwise update the EA. 

DATES: There will be a 30-day public 

review period for comment on this 

document. Comments on this EA should 

be received no later than October 19, 

2009. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be 

submitted either via the National Park 

Service Planning, Environment, and 

Public Comment (PEPC) Web site 

(http://parkplanning.nps.gov/NAMA) or 

in writing to Mr. Doug Jacobs, Deputy 

Associate Regional Director for Lands, 

Resources and Planning, National 

Capital Region, National Park Service, 

1100 Ohio Drive, SW., Washington, DC 

20242. Copies of the EA can be 

downloaded from PEPC and will also be 

available for review at the National 

Capital Region Headquarters, 1100 Ohio 

Drive, SW., Washington, DC 20242 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in our comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Doug Jacobs, Deputy Associate Regional 

Director for Lands, Resources, and 

Planning at (202) 619–7025. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2005 

the NPS and the Martin Luther King, Jr. 

National Memorial Project Foundation 

Inc. released an EA. Subsequently, after 

the 2005 EA went through the public 

comment process, revisions were made 

to the Memorial, including the addition 

of a visitor services facility, security 

features, and the realignment of West 

Basin Drive. Consistent with Council on 

Environmental Quality policy, the NPS 

requires that the EA be rewritten to 

incorporate and consider new issues 

rather than supplemented. This revised 

EA, therefore, adds to, and expands 

upon, the information and impact 

analysis presented in the original 2005 

Martin Luther King, Jr. National 

Memorial EA. The NPS will issue a 

decision on this revised EA.
