A variety of <br />benefits or forms of protection accure 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, whiJe 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 />8anle planning goals and priorities that <br />gUided the identification and evaluation <br />activities. All registration programs <br />.hauld establish priorities for <br />recognition of their authorized range of <br />properties; provide for confidentinlity of <br />sensitive Information: and establish II <br />meona of 8pPflaling the registrntlon or <br />non~rc8istr8lion of 8 property. <br />RaSis/rotion Procedures <br />ExpilcH procedures are essential <br />because they are the means by which <br />the public can understand and <br />participate in the registration procea/!., <br />Procedures for reRis!ration proHrams <br />should be developed by professionals in <br /> <br />29, 1983 I Notices <br /> <br />the field of historic; prcaervu lion. in <br />consultution with those who will use or <br />be~ affected by the program. Prior to <br />taking effect. procedures should be <br />published or circulated for comment at <br />the governmental level al which they <br />will be used, (Procedures for registration <br />of properties in the National Register of <br />Historic Places and the National <br />Historic Landmarks list, for example, <br />are published in the F&deral Register.) <br />Any registration 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 nomina ting source. to provi de 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 />Profe".'lional Review: The registnltion <br />procesa-shouJd include an independent <br />evaluation of the significance of the <br />property and of the quality llnd <br />thoroughness of the documentation <br />supporting that siHnificance. Such <br />evaluation enSllres that significance is <br />adequately justified Hnd that <br />registration documentation meets the <br />technical requirements of the <br />registration process. <br />State and local prc8crvl'Ition <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 fOnTIS of <br />independent review should include <br />professionala 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 personnel <br />must be qualified by eduGfltion, training <br />or experience to accompli~h their <br />designated duties.
