§302504 Participation of Certified Local Governments in National Register Nominations

Summary

The state historic official must tell the property owner, the local chief elected official, and the local historic preservation commission before the state considers the property for the National Register. The local commission, after letting the public comment, must write a short report saying if the property meets the Register’s rules. The chief local official must send that report and their recommendation to the state within 60 days of the notice. After getting the report, the state will nominate the property unless both the commission and the chief official say do not nominate. If both say no, the state stops unless someone files an appeal within 30 days. If an appeal is filed, the state follows the normal nomination steps. Any local report and recommendation must be included with the state’s nomination to the Secretary.
