Purpose
The information collected through this form will be used by the National Park Service (NPS), National Heritage Areas (NHA) Program Office and regional program offices to track each heritage area management or coordinating entity’s (coordinating entity) progress on management plan implementation. The progress measures outlined in the categories below capture information about the diverse heritage area activities and approaches to these activities (process measures), direct products or services offered (output measures), and the results of the products or services (outcome measures).
The NPS will use the responses reported here in annual program publications and to inform individual heritage area evaluations.
Reporting Instructions
The progress measures in this form are grouped under eight categories, capturing the diverse work of the coordinating entities throughout the country. We recognize that each heritage area and coordinating entity is unique. Therefore, not all of the categories or measures presented below will apply.
The data reported here shall reflect the work that the coordinating entity led, funded or partnered with others to complete this year.
Report all work that the coordinating entity was involved in to implement the National Heritage Area Management Plan. Include work supported by Heritage Partnership Program (HPP) funding and other heritage area funding sources.
Report data for the same 12-month cycle (calendar, federal, and fiscal) that you reported last year.
Measures under categories 2 – 7 are sequenced to capture work in progress, work that is completed, and the outcomes of completed work.
Follow the specific instructions for each category and measure. Please be consistent in how you categorize your work. When deciding how to categorize a specific project or program, it may be helpful to consider the project or program purpose in relation to your NHA goals.
If you are implementing or funding multicomponent projects, please count each component separately. For example, you might be working on a project that involves the preservation of a building or site, site interpretation, and an event. Using this example, each component would be counted as a separate project under the preservation, education and interpretation, and promotion categories. If it is not possible to separate project components, please report on the project under the category that is most appropriate given the funding amount.
Retain all supporting documentation used to complete this form until the program evaluation for your heritage area is concluded. Per 2CFR Part 215.53, the NPS, as well as the Inspector General or Comptroller General, reserve the right to review supporting documents. The NPS NHA Program Office reviews these forms and may contact you periodically to insure consistent and accurate reporting.
Form Submittal
