Name of Law: The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966
We are reporting 2,564 responses totaling 226,672 annual burden hours. This is a net increase of 1,682 responses and `115,522 burden hours.
We are reporting as a program change an increase of 1,727 responses and 110,242 annual burden hours. The increase in the number of responses is mainly associated with including the burden associated with States to prepare nominations as well as the burden for States/tribes to review nominations prior to submission to NPS. The remaining adjustments are a result of revising burden estimates based on comments received in response to the Federal Register notice and our outreach, as well as our experience in administering this information collection.
