Appendix C CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAM On 1980, an amendment to the National Historic Preservation Act was passed which included a provision to delegate certain program responsibilities to local governments. Final regul.ations for the Certified Local Government Program, as it was called, came out in April of this year. The regs required each state to submit their own procedures to the National Park Service. The State Historic Preservation Office has drafted these procedures and sent them out to local governments for comment. The deadline for comments is Novemb-er 27, 1984. If you would like a copy for review, let the staff know and then please submit any comments to the office. We will compile them and send them on to Indianapolis. The procedures establish standards for Section 106 review (which we already do), the composition of the Commission and its procedures, the process for updating the survey, and the professional staff. The Certified Local Government Program involves two basic concepts: 1. local review of all National Register applications within HPC jurisdiction 2. eligibility for 10% of Indiana's annual Historic Preservation fund (along with the other CLGs) The local review of N.R. applications will involve staff revision of inadequate nominations and notification of property owners, holding a public hearing for comment on the applications, review by the Commission and chief elected local official of the applications, and notification of the SHPO as to our decision. The program will also update on the survey, • C] require an annual report indicating all nominations reviewed, any any changes in procedures or Commission members, etc.
