iii. Photographic and other documentation;

If the property for which a grant is requested is not listed in the New Jersey or National Register of Historic Places, a certification by the State Historic Preservation Officer that, as of the date of the Trust's receipt of the application, the historic property for which a grant is requested is approved for listing or meets the criteria for listing in the New Jersey Register of Historic Places as set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:4.

4. A notice of receipt for each application shall be sent by the Trust to each applicant.

5. The Trust will review each application.

6. If the application is approved and funds are appropriated by law, funds will be disbursed following the legal recordation of the easement and placement of the plaque.

7. Applications not funded in a given fiscal year shall not receive further consideration for funding by the Trust in that fiscal year; however, revised, or new applications can be submitted in subsequent fiscal years.
