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.

*Abstract:* The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) 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, Tribes, or the Nation. The 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 is responsible for administering 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 Tribes often initiate this process and prepare the necessary documentation. Regulations at 36 CFR part 60 and 63 establish the criteria and guidelines for listing and for determining the eligibility of properties.
*Title of Collection:* Nomination of Properties for Listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
