Procedures for State, Tribal, and Local Government Historic Preservation Programs

The National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), as amended, established the programs and 36 CFR 61 further defined the programs for which NPS created these information collections. The programs relating to these information collections have been in operation for at least 20 years. The Act does not require State, tribal, or local governments to participate in these programs. Those that do participate must meet certain requirements to maintain their eligibility for the programs and the associated funding. Each State and tribe approved and local government certified under these requirements is eligible to receive grant assistance. 36 CFR 61 details the processes for approval of State and tribal programs, the certification of local governments, and the monitoring and evaluation of State and CLG programs in a manner that ensures the propriety of the uses of this Federal assistance.
