SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork

As part of our continuing effort to

Federal agencies to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing

We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility.
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used.
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your

Abstract: The Federal Historic
Preservation Tax Incentives Program

PO 00000

Frm 00058

Fmt 4703

encourages private-sector investment in
the rehabilitation and re-use of historic
buildings. Through this program,
underutilized or vacant buildings
throughout the country of every period,
size, style, and type have been
rehabilitated and reused in a manner
that maintains their historic character.
To be eligible for tax incentives for
historic buildings, a building must be
listed individually on the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP); or
located in a registered historic district
and certified by the NPS as contributing
to the historic significance of that
district. A registered historic district is
any district listed on the NRHP; or a
state or local district if the district and
the enabling statute have also been
certified by the NPS. The NRHP is the
official list of the Nation’s historic
places worthy of preservation.
Section 47 of the Internal Revenue
Code requires that the Secretary of the
Interior certify to the Secretary of the
Treasury upon application by owners of
historic properties for Federal tax
benefits: (a) the historic significance of
the property and (b) that the
rehabilitation work is consistent with its
historic character. The NPS administers
the program with the Internal Revenue
Service in partnership with the State
Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs).
The NPS uses the information collected
in the Historic Preservation Certification
Application (Forms 10–168, 10–168a,
10–168b, and 10–168c) to evaluate the
condition and historic significance of
buildings undergoing rehabilitation and
to evaluate whether or not the
rehabilitation work meets the Secretary
of the Interior’s Standards for
Rehabilitation. The program is moving
towards an electronic system
(SharePoint site) for the submission and
review process of the application within
the next fiscal year, 2023.
Regulations codified in 36 CFR part
67 contain a requirement for completion
of an application form. The NPS uses
the information collected on the
application form to allow the authorized
officer to determine if the project is
qualified to obtain historic preservation
certifications from the Secretary of the
Interior. These certifications are
necessary for an applicant to receive
substantial federal tax incentives
authorized by section 47 of the Internal
Revenue Code. These incentives include
a 20% federal income tax credit for the
rehabilitation of income-producing
historic buildings and an income tax
deduction for the charitable donation of
easements on historic properties. The
Internal Revenue Code also provided a
10% federal income tax credit for the
rehabilitation of non-historic,

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 208 / Friday, October 28, 2022 / Notices
nonresidential buildings built before
1936. An owner of a non-historic
building in a historic district must also
use the application to obtain a
certification from the Secretary of the
Interior that his or her building does not
contribute to the significance of the
historic district before claiming this
lesser tax credit for rehabilitation. The
10% credit was repealed as part of the
2017 tax reform legislation but may
remain in effect under certain transition
rules.
SHPOs are the first point of contact
for property owners wishing to use the
rehabilitation tax credits. They help
applicants determine if a historic
building is eligible for Federal or State
historic preservation tax incentives,
provide guidance on an application
before or after the project begins, and
provide advice on appropriate
preservation work. SHPOs use Forms
10–168d and 10–168e to make
recommendations to NPS.
In accordance with 36 CFR 67, we
also collect information for:
(1) certifications of State and local
statutes (§ 67.8),
(2) certifications of State or local
historic districts (§ 67.9), and
(3) appeals (§ 67.10).
Title of Collection: Historic
Preservation Certification Application.
OMB Control Number: 1024–0009.
Form Number: NPS Forms 10–168,
10–168a, 10–168b, 10–168c, 10–168d,
10–168e.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals, organizations, companies
and businesses, and State or tribal
governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 11,874.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 11,874.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Estimates vary from 3 to 51
hours depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 126,577.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $3,973,359 based
primarily on application fees and other
costs (includes: printing photographs
and architectural drawings).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
