I. Abstract
The National Register of Historic Places (National Register) is the official Federal list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. National Register properties have significance to the history of communities, states, or the Nation. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires the Secretary of the Interior to maintain and expand the National Register, and to establish criteria and guidelines for including properties on the National Register. National Register properties must be considered in the planning for Federal or federally assisted projects, and listing on the National Register is required for eligibility for Federal rehabilitation tax incentives.
The National Park Service administers the National Register. Nominations for listing historic properties come from State Historic Preservation Officers, from Federal Preservation Officers for properties owned or controlled by the United States Government, and from Tribal Historic Preservation Officers for properties on tribal lands. Private individuals and organizations, local governments, and American Indian tribes often initiate this process and prepare the necessary documentation. Regulations at 36 CFR parts 60 and 63 establish the criteria and guidelines for listing properties.
We use three forms for nominating properties and providing documentation for the proposed listings:
• NPS Form 10-900 (National Register of Historic Places Registration Form).
• NPS Form 10-900-a (National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet).
• NPS Form 10-900-b (National Register of Historic Places Multiple Property Documentation Form).
These forms and documentation go to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) of the state where the property is located. The SHPO can take one of several options: reject the property, ask for more information, list the property just with the state, or send the forms to us for listing on the National Register. Once we receive the forms, we conduct a similar review process.
Listing on the National Register provides formal recognition of a property's historical, architectural, or archeological significance based on national standards used by every state. The listing places no obligations on private property owners, and there are no restrictions on the use, treatment, transfer, or disposition of private property.
