SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    National Historic Landmarks (NHLs) are nationally significant 
historic places (buildings, sites, structures, objects, or districts) 
designated by the Secretary of the Interior, because they possess 
exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the 
heritage of the United States. Today, just over 2,500 historic places 
bear this national

[[Page 76707]]

distinction. All NHLs are also listed in the National Register of 
Historic Places.
    The Historic Sites Act of 1935 (16 U.S.C. 461-467) directs the 
Secretary of the Interior (Secretary), through the National Park 
Service, to survey historic and archeological sites, buildings, and 
objects to determine those that possess exceptional value in 
commemorating or illustrating the history of the United States. 
Designation as an NHL:
     Ensures that stories of nationally important historic 
events, places, or persons are recognized and preserved for the benefit 
of all citizens.
     May provide the property's historic character with a 
measure of protection against any project initiated by the Federal 
Government.
     May ensure eligibility for grants, tax credits, and other 
opportunities to maintain a property's historic character.
    In accordance with the law and 36 CFR part 65, private citizens, 
businesses, Federal agencies, State and local public agencies, and 
Indian tribes may submit nominations for NHL designation. Instructions 
for submitting a letter of inquiry and completing NPS Form 10-934 are 
available on the NHL Web site at http://www.nps.gov/nhl/index.htm. We 
collect the following information:

Letter of Inquiry

    Prior to nominating a property for NHL designation, respondents 
must send a letter of inquiry to the NPS. The letter introduces the 
property to the NHL Program staff and serves as a formal, written 
record of initiating the NHL designation process. It provides an 
overview of the property, its historic significance, and its historic 
integrity, including, but not limited to:
     Historic importance of the property. What nationally 
significant story does the property tell?
     Current condition and integrity of the property. Has the 
property undergone major alterations since the historic period? If so, 
how extensive are these alterations?
     Support of the property owner. Is the property already 
listed in the National Register of Historic Places?
     Supporting documents, such as photographs or brochures.

National Historic Landmark Nomination (NPS Form 10-934)

     Name and Location of Property.
     Significance Data (NHL criteria, criteria exceptions, NHL 
themes, period(s) of significance, significant person(s), cultural 
affiliation, historic contexts, designer/creator/architect/builder, 
etc.).
     Sensitive Information (resources, such as archeological 
sites, that would be adversely affected by amateur excavation or 
vandalism by the general public if the location were disclosed).
     Geographical Data (acreage, Universal Transverse Mercator 
(UTM) grid references or latitude/longitude coordinates, and boundaries 
for the property).
     Significance Statement and Discussion (narrative statement 
based on documentary research of the property and the specific 
assessment of how the property qualifies for designation as an NHL).
     Property Description and Statement of Integrity 
(classifies the property by ownership of the property, type of 
property, and the number and nature of resources comprising the 
property).
     Major Bibliographic References (sources from which the 
documentation given on the form was compiled and the assessment of the 
property's significance was made).
     Contact Information for Form Preparer.
    We review the forms to evaluate the eligibility of the property 
being nominated and submit them to the Secretary of the Interior's 
National Park System Advisory Board. The Board recommends those 
properties that meet the criteria for NHL designation to the Secretary 
of the Interior. The Secretary decides whether or not to designate a 
property as an NHL.
