Proposed Rule Changes Threaten National Register of Historic Places Nominations

Preservation Action, Action Alert
National Register Under Threat: April 15, 2019

Submit Comments Opposing Harmful Proposed Rule Changes to National Register of Historic Places

Preservation Action is highly concerned with proposed revisions to the National Register of Historic Places. The proposed rule changes would substantially impact how historic resources are nominated to the National Register of Historic Places and determined eligible. While the stated intent is to bring regulations current with recent amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the proposed revisions clearly go far beyond that purpose and are inconsistent with the language in and intent of the NHPA. Learn more and take action!
