The above property will be considered by the State Historical Resources Commission for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register is the Federal Government's official list of historic buildings and other cultural resources, worthy of preservation. Listing in the National Register provides recognition and assists in preserving our Nation's heritage. Enclosed is a copy of the criteria under which properties are evaluated. Listing in the National Register provides the following benefits to historic properties: —Consideration in the planning for federally assisted projects. Section106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 provides that the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation be given an opportunity to comment on projects affecting such properties. —Eligibility for Federal tax benefits. If a property is individually listed in the National Register,or determined a contributing structure within a National Register district, certain tax provisions may apply. The Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 includes provisions regarding charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial interests in historically important land areas or structures, including archeological sites and private residences.The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions intended to encourage preservation of depreciable historic structures by allowing favorable Federal tax provisions for rehabilitation. Beginning January 1, 1987,the Tax Reform Act of 1986 replaces the rehabilitation tax incentives available under prior law with a 20%investment tax credit for rehabilitations of certain historic commercial, industrial,and residential rental buildings. —Consideration of historic values in the decision to issue a surface coal mining permit where coal is located, in accord with the Surface Mining and Control Act of 1977. —Qualification for Federal Grants for historic preservation when funds are available. Owners of private properties nominated to the National Register of Historic Places must be given an opportunity to concur in or object to listing in accord with the National Historic Preservation Act Amendments of 1980 and Federal regulations 36 CFR Part 60.Any owner or partial owner of private property who chooses to object to listing is required to submit to the State Historic Preservation Officer a notarized statement certifying that the party is the sole or partial owner of the private property, as appropriate,and objects to the listing. For a single privately owned property with one owner, the property will not be listed if the owner objects. In nominations with multiple ownership of a single property, the property will not be listed if a majority of the owners objects. In the case of a district nomination, the district will not be listgd if a majority of the owners objects to listing. Each owner or partial owner of private property has one vote regardless of how many properties or what part of one property that party owns. If the property or district cannot be listed because the owner or a majority of owners objects prior to submission of a nomination by the State, the State Historic Preservation Officer shall submit the nomination to the Keeper of the National Register for a determination of the eligibility of the property or district for inclusion in the Page 2 National Register. if the property is then determined eligible for listing, although not formally listed, Federal agencies will be required to allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment before the agency may fund, license, or assist a project which will affect the property.
