Abstract: This collection is authorized
by Section 101(b) of the National
Historic Preservation Act, as amended
(54 U.S.C. 302301), which specifies the
role of States, Tribes, and Local
governments in the Historic
Preservation Program (HPP). This
information collection has an impact on
State, Tribal, and local governments that
wish to participate formally with the
National Park Service in the HPP.
Information is also requested to meet
grant management and monitoring of
responsibilities for States, Tribes, local
government, and other eligible grant
recipients under 54 U.S.C. 300101 et
seq. and 2 CFR 200.
Each year Congress directs the NPS to

from the Historic Preservation Fund
(HPF) for the State grant program and
the Tribal grant programs to assist States
and Tribes in carrying out their
statutory role in the HPP. Through
competitive grant programs, Congress
also directs NPS to provide financial
assistance to a variety of eligible grant
recipients to support the broad cultural
resource mandates of the National
Historic Preservation Act and for other
purposes.
The information from this collection
is required to evaluate if State, Tribal,
and local governments meet minimum
standards and requirements for
participation in the HPP; and to meet
program specific requirements as well
as government- wide requirements for
Federal grant programs.
The NPS uses the information
collected to ensure compliance with the
National Historic Preservation Act, as
well as government-wide grant
requirements issued and implemented
through 43 CFR part 12 and 2 CFR 200.
