Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 5.
(1) To
				initiate a review of a rehabilitation plan for certification purposes, a person
				shall complete part 2 of the historic preservation certification application
				prescribed by the national park service or part 2 of the historic preservation
				certification application prescribed by the Michigan historical center,
				whichever is appropriate, and submit 2 copies of the application to the center.
				The applicant shall pay the fee as prescribed in
				36 C.F.R. section
				67.11 for a federal application before
				receipt of a certification on part 2 of a federal application. In each
				instance, the applicant shall attach to the application adequate supporting
				documentation and photographs deemed sufficient by the center to document the
				interior and exterior appearance of a structure, its site, and environment
				before the commencement of rehabilitation. The applicant shall furnish any
				additional documentation, such as window surveys or masonry cleaning
				specifications, requested by the center. In addition, the applicant shall
				include the applicant's social security number or federal taxpayer
				identification number, as appropriate, on the application. Each applicant shall
				sign the application. Verification of the resource's state equalized value
				shall accompany the application. Plans for adjacent, attached, or related new
				construction shall also accompany the application.
(2) Upon receipt of a complete and adequately
				documented part 2 of an application as described in subrule (1) of this rule,
				the center within 45 days shall review the submission to determine whether the
				applicant's rehabilitation plan meets the federal secretary's standards and
				guidelines. If the center deems that additional information or documentation is
				needed to evaluate the submission, then the center shall notify the applicant
				in writing and shall refrain from processing the application until the
				information or documents, or both, have been furnished. To qualify for
				certification, a proposed rehabilitation plan shall comport with each element
				of the secretary's 10 standards, to the extent applicable.
(3) If the application is prescribed by the
				center and the center determines that a rehabilitation plan does not meet the
				federal secretary's standards and guidelines, then the center shall notify the
				applicant, in writing, of the determination. Where possible, the center shall
				also advise the applicant, by means of an explanatory letter, of the revisions
				necessary to meet the standards and guidelines. An applicant, upon receipt of
				written notice, may revise the rehabilitation plan and resubmit a revised
				proposed plan to the center. The center shall refrain from processing the
				application further until the necessary revisions have been made and
				furnished.
(4) If the center
				determines that a rehabilitation plan meets the federal secretary's standards
				and guidelines, then the center shall directly, or through the federal
				secretary, notify the applicant, in writing, of the determination.
