the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.

serves as the Third Notice referred to in
36 CFR 73.7(j) of the World Heritage
Program regulations (36 CFR part 73).
The nomination was submitted
through the U.S. Department of State to

the Committee’s 45th annual session in
mid-2024.
This property has been selected from
the U.S. World Heritage Tentative List,
which comprises properties that appear
to qualify for World Heritage status, and
which may be considered for
nomination by the United States to the
World Heritage List, as required by the
World Heritage Committee’s
Operational Guidelines.
The U.S. World Heritage Tentative
List appeared in a Federal Register
notice on January 11, 2021 (86 FR 1999),
as required by 36 CFR 73.7(c)) with a
request for public comment on possible
nominations from the 19 sites on the
Tentative List. A summary of the
comments received, the Department of
the Interior’s responses to them and the
Department’s decision to request
preparation of this nomination appeared
in a subsequent Federal Register notice
published on February 1, 2022 (87 FR
5498–5499). These are the First and
Second Notices required by 36 CFR
73.7(c) and (f).
In making the decision to submit this
U.S. World Heritage nomination,
pursuant to 36 CFR 73.7(h) and (i), the
Department’s Assistant Secretary for
Fish and Wildlife and Parks evaluated
the draft nomination and the
recommendations of the Federal
Interagency Panel for World Heritage.
She determined that the property meets
the prerequisites for nomination by the
United States to the World Heritage List
that are detailed in 36 CFR part 73. The
properties are nationally significant,
being part of a National Historic
Landmark district designated by the
Department of the Interior. The owners
of the properties have concurred in
writing with the nomination, and each
property is well protected legally and
functionally as documented in the
nomination. It appears to meet two of
the World Heritage criteria for cultural
properties.
‘‘Moravian Church Settlements’’ are
nominated under World Heritage
cultural criteria (iii) and (iv), as
provided in 36 CFR 73.9(b)(1), as a
group, or ‘‘series,’’ that collectively
appears to justify criterion (iii) as an
exceptional testimony to the Moravian
Church’s distinct religious and social
ideals which are expressed in the towns’
layouts, architecture, and
craftsmanship, as well as the fact that
numerous buildings are still used either
for their original function or the
continuation of Moravian Church
activities and traditions. The series also
justifies criterion (iv) as an outstanding
example of intentional religious town
planning within the Protestant tradition;
each settlement bears witness to the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:13 Feb 16, 2023
Jkt 259001
Moravian Church vision of a unified
and coherent urban design, inspired by
ancient and biblical concepts of the
‘ideal city’ and anticipating
Enlightenment ideals of equality and
social improvement that became a
reality only much later in many places.
The settlements, both individually and
as a group, also meet the World Heritage
requirements for integrity and
authenticity.
The World Heritage List is an
international list of cultural and natural
properties nominated by the signatories
to the World Heritage Convention
(1972). The World Heritage Committee,
composed of representatives of 21
nations elected as the governing body of
the World Heritage Convention, makes
the final decisions on which
nominations to accept on the World
Heritage List at its annual meeting each
summer. Although the United States is
not a member of UNESCO, it continues
to participate in the World Heritage
Convention, which is an independent
treaty. There are 1,154 World Heritage
sites in 167 of the 194 signatory
countries. The United States has 24 sites
inscribed on the World Heritage List.
U.S. participation and the role of the
Department of the Interior are
authorized by title IV of the National
Historic Preservation Act Amendments
of 1980, Public Law 96–515, 94 Stat.
2987, 3000, codified as amended at 54
U.S.C. 307101, and conducted by the
Department through the National Park
Service in accordance with the
regulations at 36 CFR part 73 which
implement the Convention pursuant to
the 1980 Amendments.
Neither inclusion in the Tentative List
nor inscription as a World Heritage Site
imposes legal restrictions on owners or
neighbors of sites, nor do they give the
United Nations any management
authority or ownership rights in U.S.
World Heritage Sites, which continue to
be subject only to U.S. federal and local
laws, as applicable.
Authority: 54 U.S.C. 307101; 36 CFR
part 73.

Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and
Parks.
