H.R. 1522 - National Historic Preservation Act Amendments
(Reps. Hefley (R) CO, Faleomavaega (D) AS, and Snyder (D) AR)
| |
H.R. 1522 would amend the National Historic Preservation Act to
reauthorize the National Historic Preservation Fund and related activities.
The Administration does not object to House passage of H.R. 1522 and
appreciates the efforts of the Congress to address concerns related to the
provisions affecting the status of employees of the Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation and codification of Executive Order 13006. But
during Senate consideration of the bill, the Administration will seek an
amendment to delete the bill's provision that would make the Department of
the Interior's National Register eligibility determinations discretionary
rather than mandatory. To eliminate mandatory determinations would prevent
the Department from assessing a property's historic significance, inhibit
historic preservation, and preclude the unbiased and critical assessment of
historic properties.
