ADDRESSES: Written comments or

Department of the Interior, P.O. Box

Attention: World Heritage Convention0050.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Convention Concerning Protection of

the World Cultural and Natural

Heritage, now ratified by the United

States and 149 other countries, has

established a system of international

cooperation through which cultural and

natural properties of outstanding

universal value to humanity may be

recognized and protected.

The Convention seeks to put into

place an orderly approach for

coordinated and consistent heritage

resource protection and enhancement

throughout the world.

Participating nations voluntarily

identify and nominate their most

important natural wonders and cultural

treasures for inclusion on the World

Heritage List, which currently includes

506 cultural, natural, and mixed

properties. The World Heritage

Committee judges all nominations

against established criteria.

Under the Convention, each

participating Nation assumes

responsibility for taking appropriate

legal, scientific, technical,

administrative, and financial measures

necessary for the identification,

protection, 2 conservation, and

rehabilitation of World Heritage

properties situated within its borders.

By the terms of the Convention, each

nation explicitly retains full sovereignty

over and complete ownership, legal

authority and management

responsibility for its World Heritage

Sites. In the United States, for example,

only United States law applies to the

sites.

The World Heritage Committee,

composed of 21 countries elected by the

signatories to the Convention, reviews

proposals to add new sites to the List

once each year. The United States now

serves on the Committee and has twice

served as its Chair. The Committee

administers the World Heritage Fund,

which assists countries in participating

in World Heritage activities related to

the preservation of listed properties,

particularly those on a List of World

Heritage in Danger maintained by the

Committee.

The United States has placed 20 sites

on the List. Among them are Monticello

and the Taos Pueblo, nominated with

their owners’ full support. National

Parks are included in 17 World Heritage

Sites—among which are the Grand

Canyon, Independence Hall, Mammoth

Cave, and Everglades. Two sites in the

United States are on the List of World

Heritage in Danger—Everglades and

Yellowstone National Parks.

No United States nominations to the

World Heritage List are pending. The

Panel will review the process for

possible U.S. nominations in calendar

1998 that might lead to consideration of

sites for inscription in the World

Heritage List at the World Heritage

Committee meeting scheduled for the

end of calendar 1999.

In the United States, the Department

of the Interior is responsible for

directing and coordinating U.S.

participation in the World Heritage

Convention. The Department

implements its responsibilities under

the Convention in accordance with the

statutory mandate contained in Title IV

of the National Historic Preservation Act

Amendments of 1980 (P.L. 96–515; 16

U.S.C. 470a–1, a–2). On May 27, 1982,

the Interior Department published in the

Federal Register the policies and

procedures which it uses to carry out

this legislative mandate (47 FR 23392,

36 CFR 73). The rules contain additional

information on the Convention and its

implementation in the United States,

and identify the specific requirements

that U.S. properties must satisfy before

they can be nominated for World

Heritage status, i.e., the property must

have previously been determined to be

of national significance, its owner must

concur in writing to its nomination, and

its nomination must include evidence of

such legal protections as may be

necessary to ensure preservation of the

property and its environment.

The program regulations; the criteria

which cultural, natural, and mixed

properties must satisfy for World

Heritage status; the properties on the

Indicative Inventory of Potential Future

U.S. World Heritage nominations; and a

list of the 20 U.S. properties inscribed

on the World Heritage List as of the date

of this notice are available upon request

from the National Park Service.

The Federal Interagency Panel for

World Heritage assists the Department

in implementing the Convention by

making recommendations on U.S.

World Heritage policy, procedures, and

nominations. The Panel is chaired by

the Assistant Secretary for Fish and

Wildlife and Parks, and currently

includes representatives from the Office

of the Assistant Secretary for Fish and

Wildlife and Parks, the National Park

Service, the Bureau of Land

Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service, and the U.S. Geological Survey

within the Department of the Interior;

the President’s Council on

Environmental Quality; the Smithsonian

Institution; the Advisory Council on

Historic Preservation; the National

Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration, Department of

Commerce; the U.S. Forest Service,

Department of Agriculture; the U.S.

Information Agency; and the

Department of State.
