Public Law requires the Secretary of
the Interior to maintain and expand the National Register of
Historic Places. The Registration form documents properties for
listing and demonstrates they meet the established criteria. The
documentation assists in evaluating, preserving, and protecting
properties.

USC 470 Name of Law: The National Historic Preservation Act of
1966
We are reporting 2,564
responses totaling 226,672 annual burden hours. This is a net
increase of 1,682 responses and `115,522 burden hours. We are
reporting as a program change an increase of 1,727 responses and
110,242 annual burden hours. The increase in the number of
responses is mainly associated with including the burden associated
with States to prepare nominations as well as the burden for
States/tribes to review nominations prior to submission to NPS. The
remaining adjustments are a result of revising burden estimates
based on comments received in response to the Federal Register
notice and our outreach, as well as our experience in administering
this information collection.
