GUIDANCE FOR COMPLETING
THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
ANNUAL PRODUCTS REPORT FOR STATES
1.

What is the purpose of this report?
The data that you provide each year contribute to documenting those achievements of the national historic
preservation partnership that States accomplish under State law. The data that we request all relate to key
program elements for each State historic preservation program; i.e., the designation and protection of historic
and prehistoric properties. This report focuses on State accomplishments under State laws and programs. We
have information from other sources concerning State contributions to historic preservation under Federal law
and programs. This report's data provide critical information and documentation for the
Administration's and the Congress' budgetary decision-making process. The results of each year's report are
currently available on spreadsheets. On a long-term basis, we plan to post on the web the results of the report.
In this way, we can share information about your program and achievements with your colleagues and with
the public. We also expect that this information will be useful to you. This information can be helpful in
explaining to your decision-makers some of what you have accomplished for historic preservation during the
year. We are seeking this information because it is not available anywhere else on a national basis.

2.

In the categories that vou ask about. we have done nothing (or very little). Do vou want us to
send vou a report with such low numbers?
Your report is valuable to us no matter how little you have to report. The Annual Report only asks five
questions involving numbers. Many States respond to the questions by answering "0" or "1 " because A) one
of their programs is just getting started, 2) they had other historic preservation priorities for that reporting
year, 3) the level of public demand was low for the program, 4) there was not much left to do in that program
area, or 5) because of a myriad of other reasons. We make no judgments of the quality of your program based
upon the numbers that you supply in your annual reports. Don't worry about not having much to report for a
given year. We recognize that the categories that we ask about do not cover all of the State Historic
Preservation Office's activities.
Small State Historic Preservation Offices with not much action in the categories that the National Park
Service asks about are just as important as big State Historic Preservation Offices with a lot of action. Each
year, roughly half of the 59 States respond to the annual report. We then extrapolate the figures from the
reporting States to produce national estimates for all States. Thus, the more States that report, the more
accurate the projections will be. Given that there are as many States with little activity in the requested
categories as there are States with a lot of activity, it is important that as many States with little activity report
as possible; otherwise our national projections will be too high.

4

Finally, it is useful to know which kinds of historic preservation programs your State has the legal authority to
carry out. This helps NPS to describe the national historic preservation partnership program as a whole.

3.

Do we have to use the form that NPS has provided?
No. We care more about the content of the data that you provide than we care about the format in which you
provide it or the medium by which you transmit it to us. As long as NPS can clearly tell which data relates to
which question on the form and you provide information corresponding to every blank on the form, we are
satisfied. E-mail messages, spread sheets, State report pages, etc. are all acceptable.
If you do choose to report to NPS using a different format, please be explicit about which parts of your format
match with each of the NPS form's questions. Also, please ensure that the guidance for completing the
alternative form is consistent with the guidance in this document.

4.

What definitions or special instructions do I need to know to properly complete this report?
"Designation" as used in this document means that the State government has officially identified the property
as historic. Many States have two levels of designation. That is, one level of designation is an evaluation of
significance that carries no consequences (e.g., the State inventory). The other level of designation carries
consequences such as eligibility for benefits or some level of protection. States often refer to this second level
of designation as the "State register," the "State landmarks list," etc.
The "Federal fiscal year" begins on October 1 and ends the following September 30. For example, FY 2014
lasted from October l, 2013. through September 30, 2014.
"Historic Property" means a property that, regardless of government action (i.e., whether it is listed or not),
meets the eligibility criteria for listing in your State register or for listing in the National Register of Historic
Places. A historic property can include archeological as well as above-ground resources. Other properties are
outside the purview of this questionnaire. In some States, this term is equivalent to "historic resource,"
"historic landmark," or some other similar term.
Notes, Paradoxes, and Anomalies. If you wish to, please feel free to use the "Notes/Comments" section to
explain your answers, paradoxes, or anomalies. For example, it would be very unusual for a State's
accomplishments to merit identical, large numbers as the answer for multiple questions. Similarly, if a very
large number is the answer for a question, it would be a good idea to explain the accomplishment in the
"Notes/Comments" section. Thus, NPS will feel confident that the large number is not a typo and, more
importantly, such information might merit explicit mention in a State/NPS narrative report. Also feel free to
use the "Notes/Comments" section to identify noteworthy accomplishments even if they are not large.
Number Blanks — Numbers Only. For the "how many properties" questions, do not use a check, an "X", or
words such as "same as last year," "several," or "unknown." If you are not sure what the correct answer is,
please make your best estimate.
Number Blanks — When to Complete/Relationship to "Yes" and "No" Boxes. If your State offered the
program during the reporting period, please fill in each blank for questions 1b, 2b, 3b, 4b, and 5b with a
number. Insert "0" if the subject matter applies, but there was no activity during the last completed Federal
fiscal year.
If the subject matter does not apply to your State government's historic preservation programs (i.e., you
answered "No" to the "did you have the program" question, leave the related "historic properties" question's

5

blank empty. For example, you should leave the blank empty for question 2b if your government does not
have a State government preservation tax incentives program and you answered "No" for question 2a.
Generally, for every State program for which you entered a "No" in question la, 2a, 3a, 4a, or 5a, we would
expect to see an empty blank in question 1b, 2b, 3b, 4b, or 5b. Conversely, if you entered a "Yes" for any "did
you have a program" question, we would expect to see a number in the corresponding "how many properties"
question
"Program" means the legal authorization/authority (created by legislation or by administrative action) to
conduct a series of activities. As long as the authorization/authority exists, the program exists regardless of
whether or not the authorization/authority has been exercised during the reporting period.
"Protection" as used in this document means that because of government action, a historic property retains
those elements that make the property historic.
"Yes" and "No" Boxes. For questions la, 2a, 3a, 4a, and 5a, please mark or circle the "Yes" or "No" box as
appropriate. If the program existed at any time during the reporting period, please answer "Yes," even if the
program no longer existed by September 30th

5.

We don't use (he same terminology that appears on the form and in this guidance. Do we have
to change how we refer to things?
That decision is your choice. A national report needs to use national terms that follow Federal statutes and
policy. For your own purposes, you should use terms that make sense to you. All we ask is that you know how
your terms relate to the national terms because we won't understand the relationship. Therefore, for this report
please make the conversion from your terminology to the national terminology,

6.

The fiscal year in our State does not match the Federal Fiscal Years What should I do in
preparing this report?
Our first preference is that you convert your fiscal year's results to the Federal fiscal year. This is because we
are preparing a report for Federal decision makers about accomplishments during a given fiscal year.
If our first preference is not readily achievable for you, please pro-rate/estimate your fiscal year's results for
conversion to the Federal fiscal year. An estimate of what was accomplished during the Federal fiscal year is
better than no response at all. For example, if your government's Fiscal Year 2014 began on July l, 2013, and
ended on June 30, 2014, your results convened to the Federal FY 2014 would be a combination of nine
month's (or 75 percent) of you State's FY 2014 results plus three months (or 25 percent) of your State's FY
2015 results. If your FY 2015 (in this example) is not yet over when you prepare this report, make an estimate
now and send us an update later if needed.
If neither our first not our second preferences are readily achievable for you, provide the results in accordance
with your fiscal year. We would rather have data that is partially from the wrong fiscal year than have no
response at all.

7.

How do I report on historic properties whose protection is not carried out or monitored by my
office?
You don't have to. For the purposes of this inquiry, report only on those historic properties whose
designation or protection has involved your office in some way; e.g., through review, approval, project
administration, covenant or easement oversight, etc. or for which your office has the data.

6

8.

We don't have anything called a "State register." but we do have other lists of historic
properties created under State law. Should I count those? Should I count the properties in the
State inventory? Should I include State-owned properties?
Do not report on the State inventory. That is a Federal requirement and you already provide us information on
the inventory.
Do report on other lists created under State law as long as you can count the number of historic properties.
We are asking for information on the designation of a property or properties as "historic." Usually, but not
always, when a historic property is added to a State register, the property receives some level of protection
under State law and/or becomes eligible for some sort of State government benefits.
With regard to State-owned properties, you should count them only if they are subject to State historic
preservation laws/policies. For the purposes of this report, ownership of the property does not matter.

9. Is there a relationship between the State Register questions and the other questions in this report?
Yes. If your State has a State Review and Compliance program, a State tax incentives program, and/or a State
"bricks and mortar" grants/loans program, it most likely also has the legal authority to create/modify listings
in a State Register, even if no State designation has taken place for a while. This relationship is due to the
fact that most States have a mechanism through which historic properties are made eligible for State benefits
and/or made subject to State restrictions.
Because of the consequences under State law that often attend being added to a State register, in the multiyear,
cumulative baseline context, a State will always have more historic properties in its State inventory than it has
on its State register. The annual additions to each will vary.

10. How should I count historic districts?
Do not count a district as a single property. Count the total number of buildings, structures, sites, or objects
that contribute to the significance of the district. If you do not know the number of contributing properties,
please provide your best estimate of the number. NPS takes this position because historic preservation
decisions tend to affect individual properties within a district rather than the district as a whole.

11. Last year, due to demolition (or other reasons), we had to remove some properties from our
State register. Do you want us to adjust our annual figures for the State register to reflect
those losses?
No. Just report the number of historic properties newly added to your State register. We don't want to have
your successes obscured by your losses. However, if you have readily available an estimate of the number of
properties removed during the reporting year, feel free to give us that information in the notes/comments
section. In such a situation, it would also be helpful to provide updated cumulative baseline figures in the
following year. For example, the impact of properties demolished during FY 2014 would be reflected in
adjusted cumulative baseline figures in the FY 2013 multi-year cumulative Baseline Questionnaire.

12. For some of our State programs, the main purpose is not historic preservation, but the
programs protect historic properties as an incidental consequence. Housing programs are a
good example. Should I count historic properties that are protected by those programs?
Yes. If historic properties are protected and your office is involved or has the data, count the properties protected
by those programs.

7

13. Some historic properties are protected more than once (e.g.. tax benefits achieved and permits
reviewed). Should I count a property only once or each time that it is reviewed. receives a
grant. etc.?
Count a property each time that it is reviewed, receives a grant, etc. This approach gives you credit for all the
protection that you give to a historic property, not just the initial instance. Note that for this reporting you do
not have to know what happened to each historic property. What you need to know for this report are total
figures for each category; i.e., the total number of properties listed, receiving tax benefits, etc.

14. There are some State laws that require local government legislative action (e.g.. passing an
ordinance) for the law to go into effect. This sometimes occurs with regard to Tax Incentives
and sometimes with regard other programs. Would this situation count as a local or a Slate
program for the purposes of this report?
It depends. See the analysis below.
The Situation. There is a State law that provides direct and/or indirect protection to historic properties. The
State law a) rewards historic property owners for the historic significance of their properties, b) helps them to
correct problems threatening the properties’ significance, and/or c) requires the owners to maintain the
properties for a specified period of time. The State law requires some degree of local government participation
to implement the State legal authority. The State law might also require/authorize some level of participation
by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to implement the law.
The Question. The National Park Service (NPS) asks States to report on accomplishments under State law and
asks Certified Local Governments (CLGs) (either directly or through the SHPO) to report on accomplishments
under local law. Should a State law/program that requires local action for the protection of historic properties
be reported in the State Report, the CLG Report, or both?
Purposes and Principles. Some of the purposes for and principles behind the State and CLG reports will help
answer the question.
a. Both the State and the CLG reports are designed to help measure the success of the national historic
preservation partnership. As official partners, both States and CLGs carry out historic preservation
activities that are not paid for by Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) and matching funds. We want to give
full credit to the historic preservation work that our partners do and avoid (where possible) the
underreporting of accomplishments.
b. The partnership work carried out outside of the HPF grant program is not reported on a national basis
anywhere else. Therefore, the answer to the question must be one that does not lose the ability to get credit
for the protection made possible by such a hybrid State law.
c. NPS asks only for information that is (or should be) readily available. No record-keeping should be done
solely for the purposes of these two NPS reports.
d. Although the unit of measure for both the State and the CLG reports is the number of historic properties,
what we are really counting is the number of times a historic property is protected. For example, if during
the reporting period a historic property both is awarded a Certificate of Appropriateness and a local tax
incentive, that situation counts as "two" (one in the Design Review category and one in the local tax
incentives category). Thus, if the answer to the question is to count the properties protected in both the
State and CLG reports, that would not be double counting.
e. Often in historic preservation, there is not a clear division of responsibility for the result of an owner of a

8

historic property receiving a local benefit/protection under a State authorization/mandate. For example, to
obtain a local protection, a sign-off on eligibility could be required from both the SHPO and the CLG
Commission.
f.

Nationwide (and sometime within a single State) there can be a great deal of variability in the role of the
State and the local historic preservation offices in the implementation of such a State hybrid law. It would
be overly cumbersome and nearly impossible for NPS to try to describe and provide an answer to every
possible fact pattern. Consequently, it makes sense to provide the range of possible answers and the criteria
that should be applied in arriving at the appropriate answer for the particular situation.

The Answer. In the case of a hybrid law that is, a State law requiring some measure of local government
participation to confer a historic preservation benefit -- depending upon the situation, it could be appropriate
to report the resultant number of historic properties protected just in the CLG Report, just in the State Report,
or in both reports. Apply the criteria below to help determine the appropriate response in a given situation,
The Criteria.
1) Whose tax coffers are affected? For example, in a tax incentive situation, if the owner of a historic property
receives only a local tax benefit, then it could be appropriate to report the protection in the CLG report.
2) Does the local government have any options in whether or not (or how) to take advantage of the State
law? For example, if local government participation is mandatory and thus is acting solely as an agent of
the State government, it could be reasonable to treat the program as a State program.
3) Which level of government is best able to keep track of the number of historic properties that take
advantage of the property tax incentive? If only the SHPO or only the CLG has easy access to the
information, that is where the program should be reported. One of the principles behind the NPS reports
is that we are asking only for information that is (or should be) readily available. No record-keeping should
be done solely for the purposes of these two NPS reports. The flip side of this criterion is that SHPO and/or
CLG possession of the data is a good rationale to include the data in the State and/or CLG Report. We
don't want to miss out on the data altogether.
4) Which level of government has to review the application to determine the property's eligibility to take
advantage of the historic preservation benefit? A reasonable argument could be made that whichever level
of government's historic preservation office makes the final decision regarding a historic property's
eligibility for the benefit should get credit for the protection. On the other hand, if both the State and CLG
historic preservation bodies are involved in the process, an equally good argument could be made that the
final protection/benefit would not take place without the participation of both the State and the CLG and
therefore the number of historic properties protected should be reported in both the State and the CLG
reports.
5) Other criteria? Depending upon the particular situation, there may be other criteria that would aid in the
decision of whether to report the number of historic properties protected in the State Report, the CLG
Report, or both.

15.

Our historic preservation financial assistance programs (grants, loans. etc.) are not funded every
year. Should I report on the historic properties protected by the program?
It is helpful to think of this question in terms of legal authorization for funding being separate from the actual
provision of funds.
Answer "Yes" to question 3a and report on the number of properties in the "grants/loans" blank (question 3b),
if the State statute authorizing the financial assistance was still in effect during some portion of the reporting

9

year. If the authorizing statute was not in effect at all during the reporting year, and your State requires an
authorizing statute for grant programs, answer "No" to question 3a and leave question 3b's blank empty.
If no authorizing statute was involved in the financial assistance program, answer "Yes" to question 3a and fill
question 3b's blank with the number of newly protected properties if the financial assistance program was in
effect during the reporting year. Otherwise, leave the blank empty.
For the purposes of the local historic preservation grant or loan blank, count a historic property if rehabilitation,
restoration, preservation, etc. work (a.k.a. "bricks and mortar") is involved. Report elsewhere (e.g., under
Acquisition) those properties that your local grants or loans assisted in other ways (e.g., to help a nonprofit
organization purchase a preservation easement).

16. We administer some grants from the Federal Government and our staff helps CLGs with some
locally-funded programs when they need our expertise. Similarly. in some Federal financial
assistance programs. the Federal funds are legally transformed into State funds. How should I
treat these situations in completing the report?
Count only properties protected through grants supported by funds coming from State government sources.
Do not count grants from Federal (or matching) funds administered by State or local agencies (e.g., Historic
Preservation Fund grants). Do not count locally-funded programs for which you provide technical assistance.
These are counted elsewhere. However, if the funds are from State sources, count the benefiting historic
properties on this form. See question 13 above for additional guidance in related situations.
Similarly, count in this report those few Federal programs that award funds to States and for which, as a
matter of Federal law, those funds legally become transformed from Federal to State funds.

17. Many of our historic preservation accomplishments are achieved through the financial
support of the private sector or through non-profit organizations such as the National Trust's
Main Street program. Should we include these achievements ill our reporting on the number
of historic properties that we protect through grants or loans?
No. Although we recognize that a large percentage of current historic preservation would not take place
without the financial support of non-profit organizations and the private sector, this report focuses on the
achievements of State government historic preservation programs. However, action by one of these
organizations does not prevent the counting of a property/protection if it simultaneously receives a State
government benefit. One example would be a simultaneous Main Street and State register historic district
designation.

18. What should I count in the "State Regulatory Review and Compliance Program" blanks?
For the purposes of the "State Regulatory Review and Compliance Program" blank, include only activities for
which State law provided historic preservation protection in a regulatory setting; e.g., through a review or
permitting process. Do not count (in these blanks) historic properties that State laws have protected through
financial incentives (e.g., tax laws) or financial assistance (e.g., grants programs). Report that information
elsewhere in the report.

19. Sometimes we review/approve requests for demolition or make other
decisions/recommendations that do not result in the protection of properties. These reviews
are a legitimate part of our workload. Should we count these for question 4b?

10

No. If it is easy for you to separate those reviews/recommendations that are likely to result in a historic
property's destruction or loss of significance, don't include them in this report. We are trying to get an
estimate of the number of historic property reviews where preservation is a likely result. If it is difficult to
separate your regulatory reviews by result, don't worry -- just give us your total figures.

20. What does "Acquisition" include? What about eminent domain? Doesn't every generalpurpose unit of government have this power?
Acquisition refers to any legally-binding, title-related interest in the historic property that the State government
has obtained (or has helped others to obtain) thereby making the property subject to State historic preservation
laws and policies. The interest in the property's title could be anything ranging from fee simple absolute to an
easement. With the exception of eminent domain, the method of acquisition is not important here.
Do not include eminent domain in your answer to question 5a. Because every State government has the power
of eminent domain, to include it in answering question 5a would obscure the presence or absence of other
kinds of acquisition programs. For answering question 5b, include in your count any historic property that has
come into State government ownership (even through eminent domain) as long as State government
ownership made the historic property subject to State historic preservation laws/policies.

21. Where do I report publications, brochures, public education, site interpretation, historic
preservation plans, historic plaques and markers. and our other historic preservation
accomplishments?
These are not part of this report. While important, for purposes of this report we have limited the products to
those that more directly affect individual historic properties. This reduces the burden in gathering and reporting
this data. However, you may include your other accomplishments as part of your End-of-year Report or, if you
wish, send the information directly to us by use of the "Notes/Comments" section.

22. Why do vou have separate questions for the number of "designated" and "protected" historic
properties throughout this report? Whv not just ask for the number of properties in our State
inventorv? In that way. with one question, you could account for all historic properties that
have been designated and protected. All of our State Register properties are included on our
State inventory. All of our properties that have been "protected" in one way or another are
also "designated" properties.
Reporting separately on "designated" historic properties and "protected" properties better represents the
historic preservation work that you do. Each time the State government designates a property or (for example)
provides financial assistance to a property, that action adds to the protection inherent in being part of your
State inventory. We wish to give you full credit.
Also, this is the kind of information that citizens in your State and your colleagues in other State governments
want to know. States that are considering creating new historic preservation programs/legal authorities want
to know who else has the programs so those wheels don't have to be re-invented.

23. The questions that you ask relate primarily to workload, Wouldn't it be better to ask how
many of our historic properties are still in good condition? In the final analysis, preserving our
irreplaceable resources is the true test of our success as historic preservationists.
If funding and staffing were no object, we would want both workload information and data on the condition
of historic resources. One of the aims of this report is to make use of readily-available information rather than
to create a new workload in gathering and tracking data. For most States, data on the condition of historic and

11

prehistoric properties are not readily available. Another purpose of this report is to gauge the contribution that
States make to historic preservation. In assessing a property's condition, without asking the property owner it
is difficult to distinguish which parts (if any) of a property's good condition are due to local, State, and/or
Federal historic preservation program efforts. State Historic Preservation Office workload data on the other
hand usually are readily available, readily assignable to State efforts, and can be used to draw reasonable
inferences about the condition of properties.

24. What should I do if my office missed a report or we discover that we made a mistake in an
earlier report?
Because of the long-term uses for this information, it will never be too late to provide this report's
information. We hope that you take advantage of opportunities to update the information that we have about
your program. You have a choice as to how to accomplish this. You may either provide/correct the earlier
report or you may prepare a new multi-year cumulative baseline report for a more recent year. For example, if
your office has not responded to any of the questionnaires or reports since FY 2010, you would have the
following options. Your first option is to prepare and send us a FY 2010 multi-year cumulative baseline
response plus an annual report for FY 201 1, FY 2012, FY 2013, and FY 2014. You can use this year's forms
by changing the dates. Your second option is to provide questionnaire answers and baseline data through FY
2013 plus the annual report for FY 2014. Other combinations of baseline questionnaires and annual reports
are possible.
