will be able to do so.
    Abstract: The National Register of Historic Places (National 
Register) is the official Federal list of districts, sites, buildings, 
structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, 
archeology, engineering, and culture. National Register properties have 
significance to the history of communities, States, or the Nation. The

[[Page 62342]]

National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires the Secretary of 
the Interior to maintain and expand the National Register, and to 
establish criteria and guidelines for including properties on the 
National Register. National Register properties must be considered in 
the planning for Federal or federally assisted projects, and listing in 
the National Register is required for eligibility for Federal 
rehabilitation tax incentives. The NPS administers the National 
Register. Nominations for listing historic properties come from State 
Historic Preservation Officers (SHPO), from Federal Preservation 
Officers (FPO), for properties owned or controlled by the United States 
Government, and from Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPO), for 
properties on tribal lands. Private individuals and organizations, 
local governments, and American Indian tribes often initiate this 
process and prepare the necessary documentation. Regulations at 36 CFR 
60 and 63 establish the criteria and guidelines for listing and for 
determining the eligibility of properties.

National Register of Historic Places, 36 CFR 60 and 63.
