National Park Service FY 2013 Budget Justifications Subactivity: Grants-in-Aid Program Component: Grants-in-Aid to States and Territories Justification of FY 2013 Programmatic Changes The FY 2013 budget request for Grants-in-Aid to States and Territories is $46,925,000, with no program changes from FY 2012 Enacted. Program Overview In 1966, the Special Committee on Historic Preservation of the U.S. Conference of Mayors addressed the need to establish a national historic preservation program. The result was the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) which authorized a State Historic Preservation Officer for each State and created the National Register of Historic Places -- a mechanism for improving and coordinating Federal agency planning efforts that affect historic assets to more effectively protect these assets. The Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) was established in 1977 as a matching grant program and is currently authorized at $150 million per year. The HPF is funded by Outer Continental Shelf oil lease revenues, the reasoning being that it is appropriate to use revenues generated by depletion of one resource to augment efforts to conserve other resources, such as historic assets. Subsequent amendments to NHPA in 1980 created the Certified Local Government program and in 1992 established Tribal Historic Preservation Officers. The National Park Service administers the HPF on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior, and uses the majority of appropriated funds to provide matching grants to State and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers to assist in their efforts to protect and preserve their historic resources. Each State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), appointed by the Governor for each state, manages this annual appropriation to perform the Federal preservation responsibilities required by the NHPA. Preservation activities may be carried out directly by States, or in the form of subgrants and contracts to public and private agencies, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and individuals. HPF grants to Indian Tribes help fulfill similar responsibilities on Indian lands to undertake preservation activities. Funding is used by States to pay for HPF eligible preservation projects including: survey and inventory completion, National Register nominations, preservation education, architectural planning, historic structure reports, community preservation plans, and bricks and mortar repair to buildings. SHPOs also use funds to perform Section 106 (of the NHPA) reviews of Federally-funded projects that potentially affect historic resources and assets. Ten percent of each SHPOs allocation must be subgranted to assist Certified Local Governments, local governments certified by NPS and the State as having made a local commitment to historic preservation. These funds are spent locally on preservation projects, with selection decisions made at the State level. Below are recent activities funded through Historic Preservation Fund grants-in-aid to the State Historic Preservation Offices: • Over $4.02 billion of proposed private investment in the rehabilitation of commercial historic properties under the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program; a total of $62.94 billion since 1977 (Federal Tax Incentives for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, Annual Report for FY 2011). • 7,470 low and moderate income housing units created through the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives program, a total of 209,913 units since 1977 (Federal Tax Incentives for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, Annual Report for FY 2011). • Approximately 24.5 million acres surveyed during FY 2010 for cultural resources by States (approximately 9 million acres in FY 2009) and approximately 199,700 acres surveyed by Tribes. Similar levels of performance are expected for subsequent years. • Approximately 2,900 new listing were added to the Tribal Register in FY 2010. Similar levels of performance are expected in subsequent years. HPF-5
National Park Service FY 2013 Budget Justifications • State Historic Preservation Offices reviewed 242,000 Federal undertakings in FY 2010 providing 112,000 National Register eligibility opinions. Similar levels of performance are expected for subsequent years. • An estimated 55,458 jobs created by Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program proposed rehabilitation projects in FY 2011 (Federal Tax Incentives for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, Annual Report for FY 2011). • 1,215 new listings to the National Register of Historic Places in FY 2011. Similar levels of performance are expected in subsequent years. • 37 new communities became Certified Local Governments (CLGs) during FY 2011, bringing the cumulative total to 1,805 CLGs throughout the nation (55 and 1,770 in FY 2010) Find more information online about Historic Preservation Fund grants, including grants to States and Territories, at: http://www.nps.gov/history/hps/hpg At a Glance… The Pacific Northwest Preservation Partnership The Pacific Northwest Preservation Partnership is a unique collaboration among the state parks departments and State Historic Preservation Offices of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, the Pacific West Region of the National Park Service, and the University of Oregon Historic Preservation Program. Each year, since 1995, the Partnership hosts a field school in one of the three partner states and trains participants in hands-on preservation skills and principles. In 2010, the venue was the Old Idaho Penitentiary, a National Register listed property managed by the Idaho State Historical Society. The field school was conducted from early August to mid-September and focused on repair work on the prison’s 1894 wall, guard walk, and guard tower. Thirty students benefitted from hands-on training in masonry, wood working, and the principles of preservation. Benefits included the opportunity to share expertise and experiences on a regional level and to maximize available funding for the site. Each year the school attracts a broad range of students, from practicing cultural resource professionals, to undergraduate and graduate students, to novices who possess a love for heritage and a desire to learn. Days are spent working on site and evenings occupied by lectures on historic preservation by local and regional professionals. Each week features a field trip to historic sites nearby to discuss management issues. An added bonus for the sponsoring site is a complete condition assessment and, with the guidance of the partner SHPOs, confirmation that the recommended work meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic Preservation. Other projects in Idaho included: Mine Hill and the Boone and Anderson Cabins in Custer County, Old Mission in Benewah County, Gilmore historic mining site in Lemhi County, and the 1892 Silver City Schoolhouse in Owyhee County.
