				requirements for state and local historic preservation programs as specified in
				the National Historic Preservation Act as amended and establishes Federal
				Regulatory guidance for the process by which eligible and interested local
				governments will be certified to participate formally in the national Historic
				Preservation Program.

				Local Government: As defined by the National Historic Preservation Act, a
				certified local government is a local government that has been certified to

C. Historic
				Preservation Planning: A rational systematic process designed to develop,
				produce, implement, and revise a historic preservation plan. The planning
				process typically includes such activities as public participation, gathering
				and analyzing historic resource information, analyzing preservation needs,
				identifying goals and objectives, determining strategies for and monitoring
				goal achievement and identifying the need for and carry out plan revision. The
				primary purpose of historic preservation planning is to ensure the protection
				and preservation of valued historic and cultural resources for future
				generations. The major product of the planning process is the historic
				preservation plan. Preservation planning is carries out by local, state,
				tribal, and federal government agencies, as well as by private organizations.
				The Secretary of the Interiors Standards and Guidelines for Preservation
				Planning provide technical guidance on analyzing historic and cultural resource
				information for planning purposes.
D. Historic Preservation Plan: A document
				that reports the findings and conclusions of the planning process, articulates
				the vision for the future of historic preservation in the planning area, and
				identifies goals and objectives for achieving that future. The plan is a tool
				for guiding decision making and action related to the identification,
				evaluation, registration, treatment, protection, interpretation, research, and
				management of historic and cultural resources. In local communities, a
				preservation plan may be incorporated as an element in the comprehensive or
				master plan, or it may be a stand-alone document. Occasionally, historic
				district preservation plans may be prepared to outline detailed preservation
				and management information tailored specifically for the historic resources in
				each district. The SHPO is required by 101(b)(3)(C) the National Historic
				Preservation Act to prepare and implement a comprehensive statewide historic
				preservation plan, and requirements are outlined in Chapter 6, Section G of
				the
