The National Register of Historic
Places is the nation's list of historic properties worthy of preservation.
Authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National
Register coordinates and supports public and private efforts to identify, evaluate,
and protect historic and archaeological properties. Properties of local, state,
or national significance are eligible. National Register nominations are made through the State Historic Preservation Office and are reviewed by the Alaska Historical Commission. Upon favorable review, the nomination is sent to the Keeper of the National Register for final review. Listing on the National Register acknowledges the historic importance of a property, provides some protection from adverse impacts of public works projects, and makes it possible for a private owner to take advantage of tax credits for rehabilitating income-producing historic properties. Applications and bulletins are available by contacting the OHA office at: Office of History and Archaeology Alaska Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation 550 West 7th Ave., Suite 1310 Anchorage, Alaska 99501-3565  NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES RIGHTS OF OWNERS TO COMMENT AND/OR TO OBJECT TO LISTING Owners of private properties nominated to the National Register of Historic Places have an opportunity to concur with or object to listing in accord with the National Historic Preservation Act and 36 CFR 60. Any owner or partial owner of private property who chooses to object to listing may submit, to the State Historic Preservation Officer, a notarized statement certifying that the party is the sole or partial owner of the private property and objects to the listing. Each owner or partial owner of private property has one vote regardless of the portion of the property that the party owns. If a majority of private property owners object, a property will not be listed. However, the State Historic Preservation Officer shall submit the nomination to the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places for a determination of the property's eligibility for listing in the National Register. If the property is then determined eligible for listing, although not formally listed, federal agencies will be required to allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment before the agency may fund, license, or assist a project which will affect the property. If you choose to object to the listing of your property, the notarized objection must be submitted within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter to: Judith E. Bittner, State Historic Preservation Officer Office of History and Archaeology Alaska Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation 550 West 7th Ave., Suite 1310 Anchorage, Alaska 99501-3565 If you wish to comment on the nomination of the property to the National Register, please send your comments to the State Historic Preservation Office within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter. Additional information on the National Register and the federal tax provisions is available from the above address upon request. [7/19/00] RESULTS OF LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES Eligibility for federal tax provisions: If a property is listed in the National Register certain federal tax provisions may apply. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 revised the historic preservation tax incentives authorized by Congress in the Tax Reform Acts of 1984 and 1976, the Revenue Act of 1978, the Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980, and the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. The new act maintains a certified rehabilitation investment tax credit (ITC) for rehabilitating historic commercial, industrial, and rental residential buildings. The current 20% ITC has a full adjustment to basis. For commercial buildings built before 1936, there is a 10% ITC for rehabilitation. Because tax aspects are complex, individuals should consult legal counsel or the appropriate local Internal Revenue Service office for assistance. For further information on certification requirements, please refer to 36 CFR 67. Consideration in planning for federal, federally licensed, and federally assisted projects: Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires that federal agencies allow for the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation to have an opportunity to comment on all projects affecting historic properties listed in the National Register. For further information please refer to 36 CFR 800. Consideration in issuing a surface coal mining permit: In accordance with the Surface Mining and Control Act of 1977, there must be consideration of historic values in the decision to issue a surface coal mining permit where coal is located. For further information, please refer to 30 CFR 700 et seq. Qualification for federal grants for historic preservation when funds are available: Presently, funding is unavailable. [7/19/00] |
