Current through May 31, 2024
When a property has been identified as potentially eligible
					 for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, the following
					 procedures will be followed for notification of property owners and affected
					 federal, state, and local government agencies which have an interest in the
					 property.
(1) When a decision has been
				  made to compile information on a property for the purpose of preparing a
				  nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, a letter will be sent
				  to the property owner explaining that his property is being studied, what the
				  National Register program comprises, and, if a nomination form is drafted, that
				  a draft will be sent to him before its presentation to the Historic Sites
				  Advisory Committee. The letter will request permission from the owner to visit
				  the site under study.
(2) At the
				  time the letter described in (1) of this section is sent to the property owner,
				  or as soon thereafter as practicable, but in no circumstances less than 60 days
				  before the date it is anticipated that the nomination will be presented to the
				  Historic Sites Advisory Committee, a statement of the intended nomination will
				  be sent to the clearinghouse in the Office of the Governor for circulation to
				  concerned public agencies.
(3) No
				  less than 30 days before the date it is anticipated that the nomination will be
				  presented to the Historic Sites Advisory Committee, the completed nomination
				  will be forwarded to the property owner by certified mail. An accompanying
				  letter will request the owner's comments regarding the historical significance
				  of the property proposed for nomination.
(4) Responses to requests for comment
				  described in (3) of this section, and comments from public agencies received
				  through the clearinghouse in the Office of the Governor, must be presented to
				  the Historic Sites Advisory Committee at the time relevant nominations are
				  considered.
(5) The Historic Sites
				  Advisory Committee shall thereafter evaluate properties recommended for
				  nomination to the National Register of Historic Places to determine if they
				  meet criteria set out in the Code of Federal Regulations at  36 CFR
				  60.
(6) After a nomination has been
				  approved or rejected by the Historic Sites Advisory Committee for nomination to
				  the National Register of Historic Places, a certified letter will be sent to
				  the property owner notifying him of the committee's action.
