Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 60 / Thursday, March 28, 2013 / Notices
Abstract: We administer the Federal
Historic Preservation Tax Incentives
program with the Internal Revenue
Service in partnership with State
Historic Preservation Offices. The tax
incentives promote the rehabilitation of
income-producing historic structures of
every period, size, style and type.
Through this program, underutilized or
vacant schools, warehouses, factories,
retail stores, apartments, hotels, houses,
offices, and other buildings throughout
the country have been returned to useful
life in a manner that maintains their
historic character.
Owners of historic buildings use the
Historic Preservation Certification
Application (Forms 10–168, 10–168a,
10–168b, and 10–168c) to apply for
Federal tax incentives. Sections 47 and
170 of the Internal Revenue Code
require the Secretary of the Interior to
make certain ‘‘certifications’’ for owners
of historic buildings seeking Federal tax
incentives for historic preservation.
Department of the Interior regulations
(36 CFR 67) require an owner of an
historic building to complete an
application form to receive these
certifications for the Federal tax
incentives. These incentives include a
20% Federal income tax credit for the
rehabilitation of historic buildings and
an income tax deduction for the
donation of easements on historic
properties. The Internal Revenue Code
also provides a 10% Federal income tax
credit for the rehabilitation of
nonhistoric buildings built before 1936.
Owners of nonhistoric buildings in
historic districts must use the
application to obtain a certification from
the Secretary of the Interior that their
building does not contribute to the
significance of the historic district
before they can claim the lesser tax
credit for rehabilitation.
In accordance with 36 CFR 67, we
also collect information for: (1)
Certifications of State and local statutes
(§ 67.8), (2) certifications of State or
local historic districts (§ 67.9), and (3)
appeals (§ 67.10).
State Historic Preservation Offices
(SHPOs) are the first point of contact for
property owners wishing to use the
rehabilitation tax credit. They help
applicants determine if an historic
building is eligible for Federal or State
historic preservation tax incentives,
provide guidance on an application
before or after the project begins, and
provide advice on appropriate
preservation work. SHPOs use Forms
10–168d and 10–168e to make
recommendations to NPS.
Comments: On August 30, 2012, we
published in the Federal Register (77
FR 52757) a notice of our intent to
VerDate Mar<15>2010
20:20 Mar 27, 2013
Jkt 229001
request that OMB renew approval for
this information collection. In that
notice, we solicited comments for 60
days, ending on October 29, 2012. We
received one comment in response to
this notice. The commenter suggested:
(1) That the application form be
modified to include a mechanism for
applicants to include relevant
information regarding economic and
technical feasibility considerations and
the application of the Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation,
the standards used to evaluate
applications under the program, and (2)
that the application instructions clearly
state that the economic and technical
feasibility are important and required
considerations pursuant to 36 CFR
67.7(b). We did not modify the
information collection in response to
this comment. We already collect this
information as part of the application
(Detailed Description of Rehabilitation
Work). Economic and technical
feasibility is not a separate
consideration, but one of several
considerations identified in 36 CFR
67.7(b) as part of the agency’s review of
proposed rehabilitation work. The
application instructions are not meant
to supersede the regulations governing
the program or replace other guidance
and materials. The instructions
specifically refer to the regulations and
state that these regulations take
precedence over the application
instructions.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment, including your personal
identifying information, may be made
publicly available at anytime. While you
can ask OMB in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that it will be done.
