A variety of <br />benefits or forme of protection secure to <br />a registered property, ranging from <br />honorific recognition to prohibition of <br />demolition or alteration. <br />Some registration programs provide <br />recognition and other broad benefits or <br />entitlements, while other registrations of <br />Properties may, in addition, authorize <br />more specific forms of protection. The <br />application of the registration process <br />should be a logical outgrowth of the <br />same planning goals and priorities that <br />guided the identification and evaluation <br />activities. All registration program. <br />should establish priorities for <br />recognition of their authorized range of <br />properties; provide for confidentiality of <br />sensitive information: and establish a <br />means of appealing the registration or <br />nun - registration of a property. <br />Registration Procedures <br />Explicit procedures are essential <br />because they are the means by which <br />the public can understand and <br />P in the registration process. <br />Procedures for registration programs <br />hould be developed by professionals in <br />ny regtstration program should <br />include: <br />1. A professional staff to prepare or <br />assess the documentation: <br />- . 2. A professional review, independent <br />of the nominating source, to provide an <br />impartial evaluation of the documented <br />significance; <br />3. Adequate notice to property <br />owners, elected officials and the public <br />about proposed registrations and the <br />effects of listing, if any; and <br />4. A means of public participation. <br />Professional Review: The registration <br />process.ehould include an independent <br />evaluation of the significance of the <br />property and of the quality and <br />thoroughness of the documentation <br />supporting that significance. Such <br />evaluation ensures that significance is <br />adequately justified and that <br />registration documentation meets the <br />technical requirements of the, <br />registration process. <br />Stole and local preservation <br />Programs. concerned with both public <br />and private properties, generally use a <br />review board, panel or commission. This <br />level of professional review has proven <br />to be effective in assessing the <br />significance of properties considered for <br />registration. <br />Review boards and other forms of <br />independent review should include <br />professionals in the fields or diciplines <br />included in the criteria; representatives <br />of other fields or disciplines may be <br />desirable to reflect other values or <br />aspects of the register. Key parsonnei <br />must be qualified by education, training <br />or experience to accomplish their <br />designated duties. (See the Professional <br />Qualifications Standards.) <br />The scope of the independent review <br />should be clearly stated in the <br />registration procedures and should not <br />include issues outside the scope of the <br />applicable criteria for evaluation and <br />other areas specified in the procedures. <br />Generally, independent reviewers <br />should not be involved in any primary <br />research or analysis related to <br />Properties under consideration; this <br />information should be gathered and <br />organized prior to review rneetings. <br />Documentation presented to the <br />reviewers should be made available to <br />
