SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Paperwork

3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we 

provide the general public and other 

Federal agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on new, proposed, revised, 

and continuing collections of 

information. This helps us assess the 

impact of our information collection 

requirements and minimize the public’s 

reporting burden. It also helps the 

public understand our information 

collection requirements and provide the 

requested data in the desired format. 

A Federal Register notice with a 60- 

day public comment period soliciting 

comments on this collection of 

information was published on June 6, 

2023 (88 FR 37093). No comments were 

received. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we are again soliciting 

comments from the public and other 

Federal agencies on the proposed ICR 

that is described below. We are 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility. 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used. 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected. 

(4) How might the agency minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. Before including your 

address, phone number, email 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 your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Abstract: This collection is authorized 

by Section 101(b) of the National 

Historic Preservation Act, as amended 

(54 U.S.C. 302301), which specifies the 

role of States, Tribes, and local 

governments in the Historic 

Preservation Program (HPP). This 

information collection has an impact on 

State, Tribal, and local governments that 

wish to participate formally with the 

National Park Service in the HPP. 

Information is also requested to meet 

grant management and monitoring 

responsibilities for States, Tribes, local 

government, and other eligible grant 

recipients under 54 U.S.C. 300101 et 

seq. and 2 CFR 200. 

Each year Congress directs the NPS to 

use part of the annual appropriation 

from the Historic Preservation Fund 

(HPF) for the State grant program and 

the Tribal grant programs to assist States 

and Tribes in carrying out their 

statutory role in the HPP. Through 

competitive grant programs, Congress 

also directs NPS to provide financial 

assistance to a variety of eligible grant 

recipients to support the broad cultural 

resource mandates of the National 

Historic Preservation Act and for other 

purposes. 

We use these information collections 

to manage our statutory partnerships 

and for managing grants (usually to 

those same partners). We are requesting 

to update the name of this collection 

from ‘‘Procedures for State, Tribal, and 

Local Government Historic Preservation 

Programs’’ to ‘‘Procedures for State, 

Tribal, and Local Government Historic 

Preservation Programs & Management 

of Historic Preservation Fund Grants.’’ 

This change is to clarify our roles in 

managing our statutory partnerships and 

competitive (project) grants and formula 

grants. 

The information from this collection 

is required to determine if State, Tribal, 

and local governments meet minimum 

standards and requirements for 

participation in the HPP and to meet 

program-specific requirements as well 

as government-wide requirements for 

Federal grant programs. We propose to 

discontinue the HPF Online Closeout/ 

EOY (State Sources of Non-federal 

Matching Share Report). The extra 

reporting effort is redundant and is not 

useful in evaluating grantee 

performance or compliance. 

The NPS uses the information 

collected to ensure compliance with the 

National Historic Preservation Act, as 

well as government-wide grant 

requirements issued and implemented 

through 43 CFR 12 and 2 CFR 200.
