Section 1 [16 U.S.C. 470 — Short title of the Act]
a.
This Act may be cited as the «National Historic Preservation Act».
Purpose of the Act
b.
The Congress finds and declares that —
1.
the spirit and direction of the Nation are founded upon and reflected in its historic heritage;
2.
the historical and cultural foundations of the Nation should be preserved as a living part of our
community life and development in order to give a sense of orientation to the American people;
3.
historic properties significant to the Nation’s heritage are being lost or substantially altered,
often inadvertently, with increasing frequency;
4.
the preservation of this irreplaceable heritage is in the public interest so that its vital legacy of
cultural, educational, aesthetic, inspirational, economic, and energy benefits will be maintained
and enriched for future generations of Americans;
5.
in the face of ever-increasing extensions of urban centers, highways, and residential, commercial,
and industrial developments, the present governmental and nongovernmental historic preserva-
tion programs and activities are inadequate to insure future generations a genuine opportunity
to appreciate and enjoy the rich heritage of our Nation;
6.
the increased knowledge of our historic resources, the establishment of better means of identify-
ing and administering them, and the encouragement of their preservation will improve the plan-
ning and execution of Federal and federally assisted projects and will assist economic growth and
development; and
7.
although the major burdens of historic preservation have been borne and major efforts initiated
by private agencies and individuals, and both should continue to play a vital role, it is nevertheless
necessary and appropriate for the Federal Government to accelerate its historic preservation pro-
grams and activities, to give maximum encouragement to agencies and individuals undertaking
preservation by private means, and to assist State and local governments and the National Trust
for Historic Preservation in the United States to expand and accelerate their historic preservation
programs and activities.
Section 2 [16 U.S.C. 470-1 — Declaration of policy of the Federal Government]
It shall be the policy of the Federal Government, in cooperation with other nations and in partnership
with the States, local governments, Indian tribes, and private organizations and individuals to —
1.
use measures, including financial and technical assistance, to foster conditions under which our
modern society and our prehistoric and historic resources can exist in productive harmony and fulfill
the social, economic, and other requirements of present and future generations;
2.
provide leadership in the preservation of the prehistoric and historic resources of the United States
and of the international community of nations and in the administration of the national preserva-
tion program in partnership with States, Indian tribes, Native Hawaiians, and local governments;
3.
administer federally owned, administered, or controlled prehistoric and historic resources in a spirit
of stewardship for the inspiration and benefit of present and future generations;
4.
contribute to the preservation of non federally owned prehistoric and historic resources and give maxi-
mum encouragement to organizations and individuals undertaking preservation by private means;
5.
encourage the public and private preservation and utilization of all usable elements of the Nation’s
historic built environment; and
6.
assist State and local governments, Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations and the
National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States to expand and accelerate their historic
preservation programs and activities.
Title I
Section 101 [16 U.S.C. 470a(a) — National Register of Historic Places, expansion and maintenance]
(a) (1) (A) The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to expand and maintain a National Register of
Historic Places composed of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American
history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. Notwithstanding section 1125(c) of Title 15 [of
the U.S. Code], buildings and structures on or eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic
Places (either individually or as part of a historic district), or designated as an individual landmark or as
a contributing building in a historic district by a unit of State or local government, may retain the name
historically associated with the building or structure.
National Historic Landmarks, designation
(b) Properties meeting the criteria for National Historic Landmarks established pursuant to paragraph (2)
shall be designated as «National Historic Landmarks» and included on the National Register, subject to
the requirements of paragraph (6). All historic properties included on the National Register on December
12, 1980, shall be deemed to be included on the National Register as of their initial listing for purposes
of this Act. All historic properties listed in the Federal Register of February 6, 1979, as «National Historic
Landmarks» or thereafter prior to the effective date of this Act are declared by Congress to be National
historic Landmarks of national historic significance as of their initial listing as such in the Federal Regis-
ter for purposes of this Act and the Act of August 21, 1935 (49Stat.666) [16 U.S.C. 461 to 467]; except that
in cases of National Historic Landmark districts for which no boundaries have been established, bound-
aries must first be published in the Federal Register.
