SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

constitutes the official notice of the 

decision by the United States 

Department of the Interior to submit on 

behalf of the United States, a 

nomination to the World Heritage List 

for the ‘‘Key Works of Modern 

Architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright,’’ as 

enumerated in the Summary above, and 

it is a component of the Third Notice 

referred to in 36 CFR 73.7(j) of the 

World Heritage Program regulations (36 

CFR part 73). 

The nomination is being submitted 

through the U.S. Department of State to 

the World Heritage Centre of the United 

Nations Educational, Scientific and 

Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for 

consideration by the World Heritage 

Committee, which will likely occur at 

the Committee’s 40th annual session in 

mid-2016. 

This serial nomination has been 

selected from the U.S. World Heritage 

Tentative List, where it was listed as 

‘‘Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings.’’ The 

Tentative List consists of properties that 

appear to qualify for World Heritage 

status and which may be considered for 

nomination by the United States to the 

World Heritage List. The Frank Lloyd 

Wright Buildings nomination on the 

Tentative List was subsequently 

amended in July 2011 to add the Herbert 

and Katherine Jacobs House to the 

group. Although the S.C. Johnson & Son, 

Inc., Administration Building and 

Research Tower in Racine, Wisconsin, 

are also included on the Tentative List 

under ‘‘Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings,’’ 

they are not being nominated at this 

time, but may be in the future. 

The U.S. World Heritage Tentative 

List appeared in a Federal Register 

notice on December 14, 2010 (73 FR 

77901–77903, December 14, 2010), with 

a request for public comment on 

possible nominations from the then-13 

properties on the Tentative List. A 

summary of the comments received, the 

Department of the Interior’s responses to 

them and the Department’s decision to 

request preparation of this nomination 

appeared in a subsequent Federal 

Register Notice published on July 14, 

2011 (76 FR 41517–41521). These are 

the First and Second Notices required 

by 36 CFR 73.7(c) and (f). 

In making the decision to submit this 

U.S. World Heritage nomination, 

pursuant to 36 CFR 73.7(h) and (i), the 

Department’s Principal Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife 

and Parks evaluated the draft 

nomination and the recommendations 

of the Federal Interagency Panel for 

World Heritage. He determined that the 

property meets the prerequisites for 

nomination by the United States to the 

World Heritage List that are detailed in 

36 CFR part 73. Each property is 

nationally significant, having been 

designated by the Department of the 

Interior as an individual National 

Historic Landmark. The owners of the 

properties have concurred in writing 

with the nomination, and the legal and 

other protections for each property are 

documented in the nomination. This 

nomination appears to meet two of the 

World Heritage criteria for cultural 

properties. 

The ‘‘Key Works of Modern 

Architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright’’ is 

nominated under World Heritage 

cultural criteria (i) and (ii), as provided 

in 36 CFR 73.9(b)(1), as containing 

many of the most iconic, fully realized, 

and innovative of the buildings 

designed by Wright (1867–1959). 

Located in seven states across the 

continental United States of America, 

they respond to more than fifty years of 

dramatic cultural and technological 

change with distinctive and highly 

original modern forms. Designed for a 

range of urban, suburban, and rural 

environments and for clients from all 

backgrounds and walks of life, these 

works, which include a variety of 

building types, embody a single-minded 

vision of architecture as space created 

for human use, rich in emotion and 

sensitive to their surroundings. These 

masterworks, particular to Wright’s 

vision, fused a variety of influences in 

a way that made a powerful impact on 

global architecture in the 20th century. 

The properties, both individually and 

as a group, also meet the World Heritage 

requirements for integrity and 

authenticity and have been determined 

to possess adequate legal and 

management mechanisms to ensure 

their conservation pursuant to 36 CFR 

73.9(b)(2). 

The World Heritage List is an 

international list of cultural and natural 

properties nominated by the signatories 

to the World Heritage Convention 

(1972). The United States was the prime 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

15628 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 56 / Tuesday, March 24, 2015 / Notices 

architect of the Convention, an 

international treaty for the preservation 

of natural and cultural heritage sites of 

global significance proposed by 

President Richard M. Nixon in 1972, 

and the U.S. was the first nation to ratify 

it. The World Heritage Committee, 

composed of representatives of 21 

nations elected as the governing body of 

the World Heritage Convention, makes 

the final decisions on which 

nominations to accept for inclusion on 

the World Heritage List at its annual 

meeting each summer. The United 

States has served four terms on the 

World Heritage Committee, but is not 

currently a member. 

There are 1,007 World Heritage sites 

in 161 of the 191 signatory countries. 

The United States has 22 sites inscribed 

on the World Heritage List. 

U.S. participation and the role of the 

Department of the Interior are 

authorized by Section 401 of Title IV of 

the Historic Preservation Act 

Amendments of 1980, (now codified at 

54 U.S.C. 307101), and conducted by 

the Department through the National 

Park Service in accordance with the 

regulations at 36 CFR part 73 which 

implement the Convention pursuant to 

this law. The Department of the Interior 

has the lead role for the U.S. 

Government in the implementation of 

the Convention; the National Park 

Service serves as the principal technical 

agency within the Department for World 

Heritage matters and manages all or 

parts of 19 of the 22 U.S. World Heritage 

Sites. 

The World Heritage Committee’s 

Operational Guidelines require 

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. The current U.S. Tentative List 

was transmitted to the UNESCO World 

Heritage Centre on January 24, 2008. 

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 only to U.S. federal and local 

laws, as applicable.

and Ohio Canal National Historical 

Park, 1850 Dual Highway, Suite 100, 

Hagerstown, Maryland, 21740–6620, or 

by email kevin_brandt@nps.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the Commission is to meet 

and consult with the Secretary of the 

Interior, or the Secretary’s designee, on 

general policies and specific matters 

related to the administration and 

development of the Chesapeake and 

Ohio Canal National Historical Park. 

Nominations should describe and 

document the proposed member’s 

qualifications for membership to the 

Commission, and include a resume 

listing his or her full name, title, 

address, telephone, email, and fax 

number. 

The Commission shall be composed 

of 19 members appointed by the 

Secretary for 5-year terms as follows: (1) 

Eight members to be appointed from 

recommendations submitted by the 

boards of commissioners or the county 

councils, as the case may be, of 

Montgomery, Frederick, Washington, 

and Allegany Counties, Maryland, of 

which two members shall be appointed 

from recommendations submitted by 

each such board or council, as the case 

may be; (2) Eight members to be 

appointed from recommendations 

submitted by the Governor of the State 

of Maryland, the Governor of the State 

of West Virginia, the Governor of the 

Commonwealth of Virginia, and the 

Commissioner of the District of 

Columbia, of which two members shall 

be appointed from recommendations 

submitted by each such Governor or 

Commissioner, as the case may be; and 

(3) Three members to be appointed by 

the Secretary, one of whom shall be 

designated Chairman of the Commission 

and two of who shall be members of 

regularly constituted conservation 

organizations. 

Some Commissioners may serve as 

Special Governmental Employees, 

which may include the completion of an 

annual financial disclosure report and 

annual ethics training. 

Members of the Commission will 

receive no pay, allowances, or benefits 

by reason of their service on the 

Commission. However, while away from 

their homes or regular places of 

business in the performance of services 

for the Commission as approved by the 

Designated Federal Officer (DFO), 

members may be allowed travel 

expenses, including per diem in lieu of 

subsistence, in the same manner as 

persons employed intermittently in 

Government service are allowed such 

expenses under section 5703 of title 5 of 

the United State Code. 

Individuals who are Federally 

registered lobbyists are ineligible to 

serve on all FACA and non-FACA 

boards, committees, or councils in an 

individual capacity. The term 

‘‘individual capacity’’ refers to 

individuals who are appointed to 

exercise their own individual best 

judgment on behalf of the government, 

such as when they are designated 

Special Government Employees, rather 

than being appointed to represent a 

particular interest.

commission members in the following 

category: Three members to be 

appointed by the Secretary, one of 

whom shall be designated Chairman of 

the Commission and two of whom shall

conservation organizations. 

Nominations should include a resume 

providing an adequate description of the 

nominee’s qualifications, including
