SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we
provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us assess the impact of our
information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting
burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection
requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
June 6, 2023 (88 FR 37093). No comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. 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. Before including your address, phone number, email
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal
identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.
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
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 use part of the annual
appropriation 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.
We use these information collections to manage our statutory
partnerships and for managing grants (usually to those same partners).
We are requesting to update the name of this collection from
``Procedures for State, Tribal, and Local Government Historic
Preservation Programs'' to ``Procedures for State, Tribal, and Local
Government Historic Preservation Programs & Management of Historic
Preservation Fund Grants.'' This change is to clarify our roles in
managing our statutory partnerships and competitive (project) grants
and formula grants.
The information from this collection is required to determine 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. We propose to discontinue the HPF Online Closeout/EOY (State
Sources of Non-federal Matching Share Report). The extra reporting
effort is redundant and is not useful in evaluating grantee performance
or compliance.
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 12 and 2 CFR
200.
