Abstract: The National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), as amended, established the programs and 36 CFR 61 further defined the programs for which NPS created these information collections. The programs relating to these information collections have been in operation for at least 20 years. The Act does not require State, tribal, or local governments to participate in these programs. Those that do participate must meet certain requirements to maintain their eligibility for the programs and the associated funding. Each State and tribe approved and local government certified under these requirements is eligible to receive grant assistance. 36 CFR 61 details the processes for approval of State and tribal programs, the certification of local governments, and the monitoring and evaluation of State and CLG programs in a manner that ensures the propriety of the uses of this Federal assistance.

Short Statement: We are requesting 56,680 annual responses totaling 58,249 annual burden hours, and $90,836 in nonhour burden costs for this information collection. We are reporting as a program change a net decrease of 95 responses, a net increase of 10,799 annual burden hours, and an increase of $47,026 in nonhour burden costs as follows: • Decrease of 59 responses and 5 burden hours associated with the State Unexpected Carryover Funds Table and Statement. This table and statement is generated electronically and there is no burden on the States. • Decrease of 50 responses and 354 burden hours associated with Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) Unexpected Funds Carryover Statement. We no longer require the THPOs to prepare this statement. Because the funding has not kept up with the increasing number of THPOs, the average THPO program award has dropped to less than $75,000. Requiring the carry-over statement no longer made sense given the ever lowering level of funding. Should this funding trend reverse itself, we would reconsider reinstating this requirement. • An increase of 14 responses, 11,158 annual burden hours, and $47,076 in nonhour burden costs associated with the Statewide Historic Preservation Plan. The plan is not a new requirement, but we have never included the requirement in our previous submission. We are reporting as an adjustment, a net increase of 393 responses and 3,060 annual burden hours and a net decrease of $296,664 in nonhour burden costs. We made these adjustments based on our experience in administering this collection and the burden information provided during our outreach.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $279,011
