A. The HPD will conduct periodic review and monitoring of CLGs to assure that each CLG is meeting applicable standards and fulfilling its duties, including the responsibilities delegated to the CLG under the National Historic Preservation Act. The CLG procedures shall also be in conformance with federal and state standards, including standards for statewide comprehensive historic preservation planning and other appropriate planning processes. These standards will be provided by the HPD. The HPD shall also review the annual reports, records of the administration of funds allocated from the HPD to the CLG, and other documents as necessary.
B. If the HPD evaluation indicates that the performance of a CLG is inadequate, the HPD shall document that assessment and delineate for the CLG ways to improve its performance. The CLG shall have a period of not less than 30 calendar nor more than 180 calendar days, depending on the corrective measures required, to implement improvements. If the HPD determines that sufficient improvement has not occurred, the HPD will recommend decertification of the local government to the secretary of the interior, citing specific reasons for the recommendations. When the local government is decertified, the HPD will terminate any financial assistance and will conduct a close-out review of any grants the CLG received from the HPD.
