Guidelines – Annual Significant Preservation Accomplishments
Report
The Annual Significant Preservation Accomplishments Report provides a framework for NPS to
evaluate actual results achieved by the THPO during the Fiscal Year period (October 1 through
September 30). Statistics related the items below must be reported on the Grants Product Summary
Report.
1.
2.
3.
4.

A description of the additional properties surveyed and added to the Tribe's inventory;
A description of the Federal undertakings reviewed pursuant to Section 106 of the Act, and;
A description of any educational activities and programs carried out.
A description of any other activities accomplished through the use of the grant funds (this is an
additional requirement of your grant agreement, not a requirement of the THPO/NPS partnership
agreement).

A discussion of these subjects is the minimum requirement to satisfy the narrative portion of your
THPO Partnership Agreement and grant reporting obligations. The narrative must explain how each
reported project or activity is linked to identifying, evaluating, documenting, designating, preserving,
or protecting significant historic and archeological properties. Additionally, the NPS appreciates the
sharing of any success stories/photographs that it could use in annual reports or social media posts in
order to illustrate the benefits of the HPF grant program to its Tribal partners.
For THPOs that accept HPF grant funds to support their activities, these accomplishments will be
compared to the activities specified in the Tribe’s Anticipated Activities Report (aka Workplan)
approved as part of the grant application, and the Workplan submitted the year before, as both grants
cover costs for the fiscal year on which you are reporting. If any administrative item or unforeseen
event impacts a THPO’s ability to accomplish a planned activity, please report on those circumstances
as appropriate in this report. For example, if a THPO reports 0 acres surveyed but had listed 100 acres as
an anticipated survey area, the THPO should comment as to why that intended work activity has been
delayed or cancelled.
NPS expects that the Tribe's tracking and reporting system results in data that is accurate, replicable,
and based upon regularly updated source records.

and promote tribal heritage. Reading your annual reports helps us to select success stories to share.
