The National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), as amended, established the programs and 36 CFR 61 further defined the programs for which NPS created these information collections. The programs relating to these information collections have been in operation for at least 20 years.
The Act does not require State, tribal, or local governments to participate in these programs. Those that do participate must meet certain requirements to maintain their eligibility for the programs and the associated funding.
Each State and tribe approved and local government certified under these requirements is eligible to receive grant assistance. 36 CFR 61 details the processes for approval of State and tribal programs, the certification of local governments, and the monitoring and evaluation of State and CLG programs in a manner that ensures the propriety of the uses of this Federal assistance.

We are requesting 43,108 responses totaling 40,761 hours and a decrease of $90,836 to $0 non-hour burden costs for respondents for this information collection. The total annual non-hour burden cost for this information collection for respondents, primarily for photocopying, mailing, office supplies, travel expenses, has been eliminated due to online reporting and revised reporting requirements.
We are reporting as a program change a net decrease of 13,572 responses, a net decrease of 17,488 annual burden hours for respondents as follows:
⢠Decrease of 30 responses and 5.75 burden hours per respondent associated with the State Anticipated Activities List. This list has been removed as a requirement due to its overlap with data reported and produced in the Project Activity Database (PADB) â in house activities.
⢠Total burden has decreased due to more availability of new reporting options such as Google forms, web reporting, and an online information system: Historic Preservation Fund Online.
⢠We have reduced the burden of the project notification and final report collection by only requiring it when National Historic Landmarks (NHLs) are affected by a subgrant. Previously, subgrants over $25,000 also required a project notification and final report. This means information is only required on the more complex projects that involve NHLs and not on projects of a more simple nature.
We are reporting as an adjustment, a net decrease of 17,488 annual burden hours and a net decrease of $238,761 (rounded) in burden hour costs. We made these adjustments based on our experience in administering this collection and the burden information provided during our outreach.
We are reporting as an adjustment, a net increase of $29,731 as cost-to-the-government. This is because we have included the new equipment costs ($103,200) previously unreported.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
