to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your

Abstract: Each year, more than 7,000
visitors to the various units of the
National Park System file reports of lost
or found items. Reporting of lost or
found personal property in national
parks is governed by 36 CFR 2.22,
‘‘Disposition of Property’’ which
requires unattended property be
impounded and deemed to be
abandoned unless claimed by the owner
or an authorized representative within
60 days. The 60-day period commences
upon notification to the rightful owner
of the property, if the owner can be
identified, or from the time the property
was placed in the superintendent’s
custody, if the owner cannot be
identified.
Unclaimed property must be stored
for a minimum period of 60 days and,
unless claimed by the owner or an
authorized representative, may be
claimed by the finder, provided the
finder is not an employee of the NPS.
Found property not claimed by the
owner, an authorized representative of
the owner, or the finder, shall be
deemed abandoned and disposed of in
accordance with Title 41 Code of
Federal Regulations.
In order to comply with the
requirements of 36 CFR 2.22, the NPS
uses Form 10–166, ‘‘Lost—Found
Report,’’ to allow the park to properly
identify personal property reported as
lost or found and to return found items
to the legitimate owner, when possible,
or to the finder if the item is not claimed
by the owner or their authorized
representative. NPS Form 10–166
collects the following information from
the visitor filing the report:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
On July 3, 2019, we published a
Federal Register notice soliciting
comments on this collection of
information for 60 days, ending on
September 3, 2019 (84 FR 31909). We
received three (3) public comments on
this notice.
Ogee, LLC suggested the use of a
standardized list or more detailed
organization of the description of work
section in the Part 2 section of the
application and that no portions of the
scope of work for the project were
unintentionally omitted.
NPS Response: We are considering the
creation of additional guidance and
application examples that would
provide more direction on how to
organize and structure the required
description of work information.

Historic Tax Credit Coalition (HTTC)
suggested that more information be
collected regarding the rehabilitation of
affordable housing units as part of the
tax incentives program. Specifically, (1)
number of rental housing units that are
being created, (2) units created for
‘‘special needs’’ (i.e., members of a
specified group under a federal or state
housing program, or person engaged in
artistic or literary activities), and (3)
how are units that are ‘‘considered
affordable and/or accessible,’’ being
measured.
NPS Response: We contacted the
commenter to discuss possible new
field(s) and how existing and new fields
could labeled or defined. The
application form already requests some
of this information. While the wording
of the field names could be changed or
further defined in the instructions, we
did not update the forms because there
is limited space available for new fields
without having to add an additional
page to the application. The commenter
was unable to make any specific
suggestions; therefore, we are not
proposing any changes at this time in
response to this comment.
Ogee, LLC and Historic Tax Credit
Coalition (HTTC) both suggested that
the NPS should provide or further
explore the use of electronic
submissions.
NPS Response: Currently, there are a
number of logistical, technological, and
practical factors that make submission
of the application via electronic means
presently unworkable, but we continue
to explore this as a future option.
Artifacts-Inc. suggested that the
program should work more closely with
State Historic Preservation Offices
(SHPOs) to administer the review
process.
NPS Response: By law the National
Park Service must make all final
certification decisions. However, NPS
partners with SHPOs to administer the
certification program. The SHPOs are
often the first point of contact meeting
with applicants to answer questions,
make site visits, and forward
applications to the NPS after reviewing
and making recommendations.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR described below. We
are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the NPS; (2) will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
of burden accurate; (4) how might the
NPS enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (5) how might the NPS
minimize the burden of this collection

Abstract: The Federal Historic
Preservation Tax Incentives Program
encourages private-sector investment in
the rehabilitation and re-use of historic
buildings. Through this program,
underutilized or vacant buildings
throughout the country of every period,
size, style, and type have been
rehabilitated and reused in a manner
that maintains their historic character.
To be eligible for tax incentives for
historic buildings, a building must be
listed individually on the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP); or
located in a registered historic district
and certified by the NPS as contributing
to the historic significance of that
district. A registered historic district is
any district listed on the NRHP; or a
state or local district if the district and
the enabling statute have also been
certified by the NPS. The NRHP is the
official list of the Nation’s historic
places worthy of preservation.
Section 47 of the Internal Revenue
Code requires that the Secretary of the
Interior certify to the Secretary of the
Treasury upon application by owners of
historic properties for Federal tax
benefits: (a) The historic significance of
the property, and (b) that the
rehabilitation work is consistent with its
historic character. The NPS administers
the program with the Internal Revenue
Service in partnership with the State
Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs).
The NPS uses the information collected
in the Historic Preservation Certification
Application (Forms 10–168, 10–168a,
10–168b, and 10–168c) to evaluate the
condition and historic significance of
buildings undergoing rehabilitation, and
to evaluate whether the rehabilitation
work meets the Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
Regulations codified in 36 CFR part
67 contain a requirement for completion
of an application form. The NPS needs
the information required on the
application form to allow the authorized
PO 00000
Frm 00109
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

officer to determine if the project is
qualified to obtain historic preservation
certifications from the Secretary of the
Interior. These certifications are
necessary for an applicant to receive
substantial federal tax incentives
authorized by Section 47 of the Internal
Revenue Code. These incentives include
a 20% federal income tax credit for the
rehabilitation of income-producing
historic buildings and an income tax
deduction for the charitable donation of
easements on historic properties. The
Internal Revenue Code also provides a
10% federal income tax credit for the
rehabilitation of non-historic,
nonresidential buildings built before
1936. An owner of a non-historic
building in a historic district must also
use the application to obtain a
certification from the Secretary of the
Interior that his or her building does not
contribute to the significance of the
historic district before claiming this
lesser tax credit for rehabilitation. The
10% credit was repealed as part of the
2017 tax reform legislation but remains
in effect under certain transition rules.
SHPOs are the first point of contact
for property owners wishing to use the
rehabilitation tax credits. 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.
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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired
format.
On July 3, 2019, we published a Federal Register notice soliciting
comments on this collection of information for 60 days, ending on
September 3, 2019 (84 FR 31909). We received three (3) public comments
on this notice.
Ogee, LLC suggested the use of a standardized list or more detailed
organization of the description of work section in the Part 2 section
of the application and that no portions of the scope of work for the
project were unintentionally omitted.
NPS Response: We are considering the creation of additional
guidance and application examples that would provide more direction on
how to organize and structure the required description of work
information.
[[Page 5475]]
Historic Tax Credit Coalition (HTTC) suggested that more
information be collected regarding the rehabilitation of affordable
housing units as part of the tax incentives program. Specifically, (1)
number of rental housing units that are being created, (2) units
created for ``special needs'' (i.e., members of a specified group under
a federal or state housing program, or person engaged in artistic or
literary activities), and (3) how are units that are ``considered
affordable and/or accessible,'' being measured.
NPS Response: We contacted the commenter to discuss possible new
field(s) and how existing and new fields could labeled or defined. The
application form already requests some of this information. While the
wording of the field names could be changed or further defined in the
instructions, we did not update the forms because there is limited
space available for new fields without having to add an additional page
to the application. The commenter was unable to make any specific
suggestions; therefore, we are not proposing any changes at this time
in response to this comment.
Ogee, LLC and Historic Tax Credit Coalition (HTTC) both suggested
that the NPS should provide or further explore the use of electronic
submissions.
NPS Response: Currently, there are a number of logistical,
technological, and practical factors that make submission of the
application via electronic means presently unworkable, but we continue
to explore this as a future option.
Artifacts-Inc. suggested that the program should work more closely
with State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) to administer the
review process.
NPS Response: By law the National Park Service must make all final
certification decisions. However, NPS partners with SHPOs to administer
the certification program. The SHPOs are often the first point of
contact meeting with applicants to answer questions, make site visits,
and forward applications to the NPS after reviewing and making
recommendations.
We are again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR described
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper
functions of the NPS; (2) will this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the NPS enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how might the NPS minimize the
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use
of information technology.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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 any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract: The Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program
encourages private-sector investment in the rehabilitation and re-use
of historic buildings. Through this program, underutilized or vacant
buildings throughout the country of every period, size, style, and type
have been rehabilitated and reused in a manner that maintains their
historic character. To be eligible for tax incentives for historic
buildings, a building must be listed individually on the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP); or located in a registered historic
district and certified by the NPS as contributing to the historic
significance of that district. A registered historic district is any
district listed on the NRHP; or a state or local district if the
district and the enabling statute have also been certified by the NPS.
The NRHP is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of
preservation.
Section 47 of the Internal Revenue Code requires that the Secretary
of the Interior certify to the Secretary of the Treasury upon
application by owners of historic properties for Federal tax benefits:
(a) The historic significance of the property, and (b) that the
rehabilitation work is consistent with its historic character. The NPS
administers the program with the Internal Revenue Service in
partnership with the State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs). The
NPS uses the information collected in the Historic Preservation
Certification Application (Forms 10-168, 10-168a, 10-168b, and 10-168c)
to evaluate the condition and historic significance of buildings
undergoing rehabilitation, and to evaluate whether the rehabilitation
work meets the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation.
Regulations codified in 36 CFR part 67 contain a requirement for
completion of an application form. The NPS needs the information
required on the application form to allow the authorized officer to
determine if the project is qualified to obtain historic preservation
certifications from the Secretary of the Interior. These certifications
are necessary for an applicant to receive substantial federal tax
incentives authorized by Section 47 of the Internal Revenue Code. These
incentives include a 20% federal income tax credit for the
rehabilitation of income-producing historic buildings and an income tax
deduction for the charitable donation of easements on historic
properties. The Internal Revenue Code also provides a 10% federal
income tax credit for the rehabilitation of non-historic,
nonresidential buildings built before 1936. An owner of a non-historic
building in a historic district must also use the application to obtain
a certification from the Secretary of the Interior that his or her
building does not contribute to the significance of the historic
district before claiming this lesser tax credit for rehabilitation. The
10% credit was repealed as part of the 2017 tax reform legislation but
remains in effect under certain transition rules.
SHPOs are the first point of contact for property owners wishing to
use the rehabilitation tax credits. 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.
In accordance with 36 CFR 67, we also collect information for: (1)
Certifications of State and local statutes (Sec. 67.8), (2)
certifications of State or local historic districts (Sec. 67.9), and
(3) appeals (Sec. 67.10).
