300101, et seq.), as well as governmentwide grant requirements OMB has
issued and the Department of the
Interior implements through 43 CFR
part 12. The information collections also
produce performance data NPS uses to
assess its progress in meeting its
statutory mission goals pursuant to the
1993 Government Performance and
Results Act, as amended. This request
for OMB approval includes local
government burden for information
collections associated with various
aspects of the Certified Local

grants to States, maintenance of a State
inventory of historic and prehistoric
properties, tracking State Historic
Preservation Office historic preservation
consultation with Federal agencies,
developing the Statewide Historic
Preservation Plan, reporting on other
State historic preservation
accomplishments, the State role in the
State program review process, and
evaluating NPS-provided program,
grants management, and CLG training
for State officials; and Tribal
government burden for information
collections related to the programspecific aspects of HPF grants to Tribal
Historic Preservation Officers/Offices
(THPOs).

This request includes information
collections related to HPF grants to
States and to THPOs. Section 101(b) of
the National Historic Preservation Act,
as amended, (54 U.S.C. 302301),
specifies the role of States in the NHPP
Program. Section 101(c), section 103(c),
and section 301 of the Act (54 U.S.C.
302502, 54 U.S.C. 302902, and 54 U.S.C.
300301), specify the role of local
governments in the NHPP program.
Section 101(d) of the Act (54 U.S.C.
302701) specifies the role of tribes in the
NHPP Program. Section 108 of the Act
(54 U.S.C. 303101) created the HPF to
support activities that carry out the
purposes of the Act. Section 101(e)(1) of
the Act (54 U.S.C. 302902) directs the
Secretary of the Interior through the
NPS to ‘‘administer a program of
matching grants to the States for the
purposes of carrying out’’ the Act.
Similarly, sections 101(d) and 101(e) of
the Act direct the NPS to administer a
program of grants to THPOs for carrying
out their responsibilities under the Act.
Section 101j of the Act (54 U.S.C.
303903) directs the NPS to provide
historic preservation-related education
and training.
Each year Congress directs the NPS to
use part of the annual appropriation
from the HPF for the State grant
program and the Tribal grant programs.
The purpose of both the HPF State grant
program and the HPF THPO grant
program is to assist States and Tribes in
carrying out their statutory role in the
national historic preservation program.
HPF grants to States and THPOs are
program grants; i.e., each State/THPO
selects its own HPF-eligible activities
and projects. Each HPF grant to a State/
THPO has two years of fund availability.
At the end of the first year, the NPS
employs a ‘‘Use or Lose’’ policy to
ensure efficient and effective use of the
grant funds. All 59 states, territories,
and the District of Columbia participate
in the NHPP Program. Almost 2,000
local governments have become
Certified Local Governments (CLGs) in
order to participate in the NHPP
program. Approximately 30 local
governments become CLGs each year.
Almost 170 federally-recognized tribes
have formally joined the NHPP Program
and have established THPOs and tribal
historic preservation offices. Typically,
each year six to nine tribes join the
partnership.
The NPS developed the information
collections associated with 36 CFR part
61 in consultation with State, Tribal,
and local government partners. The
obligation to respond is required to
provide information to evaluate whether
or not State, Tribal, and local
governments meet minimum standards

and requirements for participation in
the National Historic Preservation
Program; and to meet program specific
requirements as well as governmentwide requirements for Federal grant
programs.
The authorities for this action are the
National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA) (54 U.S.C. 300101 et seq.) and
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
