Abstract: National Heritage Areas (NHAs) are designated by Congress as places of natural, cultural, and historic significance. Authorized by the Historic Sites Act of 1935 (54 U.S.C. Ch. 3201), the NPS NHA Program Office is responsible for tracking the performance and progress of each heritage area in implementing its management plans and goals. The forms in this collection are currently in use without OMB approval or a valid control number. The reports created by these forms will track performance metrics needed to distribute funds and report on heritage area management and budgetary activities as directed by Congress.
