Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
In addition to directing the preparation of National
					 Register nominations by the department, the director shall act according to
					 this section to ensure that, in accordance with federal regulations, the
					 National Register nomination process is open to any person or
					 organization.
The director shall respond in writing within 60 days to any
					 person or organization submitting a completed National Register nomination form
					 or requesting consideration of any previously prepared nomination form on
					 record with the department. The response shall indicate whether or not the
					 information on the nomination form is complete, whether or not the nomination
					 form adequately evaluates the property according to the criteria set out in
					 Part III of this chapter (17VAC10-20-40 et
					 seq.), and whether or not the property appears to meet the National Register
					 criteria for evaluation set out in Part III. If the director determines that
					 the nomination form is deficient or incomplete, the director shall provide the
					 applicant with an explanation of the reasons for that determination, so that
					 the applicant may provide the necessary additional documentation.
If the nomination form appears to be sufficient and
					 complete, and if the property appears to meet the National Register criteria
					 for evaluation, the director shall comply with the notification requirements in
					 Part IV of this chapter (17VAC10-20-130 et seq.) and
					 schedule the property for presentation to the State Review Board. The director
					 may require the applicant to provide a complete, accurate, and up-to-date list
					 and annotated tax parcel map indicating all property owners entitled to written
					 notification pursuant to Part IV of this chapter. Within 60 days of receipt of
					 a sufficient and complete nomination form and of all information necessary to
					 comply with Part IV of this chapter, the director shall notify the applicant of
					 the proposed schedule for consideration of the nomination form by the State
					 Review Board.
If the director determines that the nomination form is
					 sufficient and complete, but that the property does not appear to meet National
					 Register criteria for evaluation, the director need not process the nomination,
					 unless requested to do so by the Keeper of the National Register pursuant to
					 the appeals process set out in
					 17VAC10-20-230.
Upon action on a nomination by the State Review Board, the
					 director shall, within 90 days, submit the nomination to the National Park
					 Service, or, if the director does not consider the property eligible for the
					 National Register, so advise the applicant within 45 days.
