H7Z0 Federal Register / Vol. 48. No. 190 / Thursday, September 29, 1983 / Notices Research may reveal tha t a propel significant in other historic contexts or is significant at a higher level. For eXClrnplc. 8 propprly previously recognized as of local significance could be found to be of national significance. A change in location or condition of a registered property may mean that the property is no longer significant for the reasons for which it was registered and the property should be deleted from the registered list. Public A vai/ability Lists of registered properties should be readily available for public use, and information on registered properties should be distributed on a regular basis. Lists of properties registered nationally are distributed through publication in the Federal Register Bnd to Congressional Offices and State Historic Preservation Offices. Comprehensive information should be stored and maintained for public use at designated national. State and local authorities open to the public on a regular basis. Information should be retrievable by the property name, and location, historic context or properly type. The specific location of properties that may be threatened by dissemination of that information must be withheld. These may include fragile archeological properties or properties such as religious sites, structures, or objects whose cultural value would be compromised by public knowledge of the property loea tion.

Note on Documentation and Treatment of Historic Properties Documentation and treatment of historic properties includes a variety of techniques to preserve or protect properties. or to document their historic values and information. While documentation activities may be Hpplied to any potentially historic property, generally only those properties that first have been evaluated as significant against specified criteria (such 8S those of the National Register) are treated. Some commonly applied treatments Bre preservation in place. rehabilitation, restoration and stabilization; there are other types of treatments also. Documentation and treatment may be applied to the same property; for example, archeological. historical. and architectural documentation may be prepared before a structure is stabilized or before foundutions or chimneys or other lost fcatures are reconstructed. Alternatives for treatment will usua!ly be available. and care should be applied in choosing among them. Preservation in place is generally preferable to moving 8 property. Over time, the preferred treatment for a property may change; for example, an archeological site intended for preservation in place may begin to erode so that a combination of archeological documentation and stabilization may be required. If a decision is mnde that a particular property will not be preserved in place, the need for documentation must then be considered. The three sets of documentation standards (i.e.. tbe Standards for Historical Documentation, Standards for Architectural and Engineering Documentation, and Standards for Archeological Documentation] as well as the StandFlrds for Historic Pre~crvation Projects (Acquisition, Preservation. Stnbilizlltion. PrClkction. Hehahilitalioll. Ht~~ll()ralioll. Ilnd Reconstruction) describe the ll~chniques of several di.9dplines to treat historic properties, and to document or preserve information about their historiclll values. The intf\~ralion of pl<Jnning for documentation and treatment with their execution is accomplished in a statement of objectives. or research design. Because both the goals Hnd appropriate methodolor,des are likely to be interdisciplinary in nature. the relationship among these various tlctivitics should be specified in the research design to ensure that the resulting documentation produces a comprehensive record of historic properties in nn efficient manner. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historical Documentation Historical documentation provides important information related to the significance of a property for use by historians. researchers, preservationists. architects, and historical archeologists. Research is used early in planning to gather information needed to identify and evaluate properties. (These activities 8re discussed in the Standards and Guidelines for Preservation Planning and the Standards and Guidelines for Identification.) Histo.rical documentation is also a treatment that can be applied in several ways to properties previously evalua ted as significant; it may be used in conjunction with other treatment activities (as the basis for rehabilitation plans or interpretive programs, for example) or as a final treatment to preserve inform.ation in cases of threatened property destruction. These Standards Concern the use of research and documentation as a treatment Standard I Historical Documentation Follows a Research Design Thot Responds to Needs ldentlfied in the Planning Process Historical documentation is undertaken to make a detailed record of the significance of a property for research and interpretive purposes and for conservation of information in cases of threatened property destruction. Documentation must have defined objectives so that proposed work may be assessed to determine whether the resulting documentation will meet needs identified in the planning process. The research design or statement of objectives is a formal statement of buw the needs identified in the plan are to be addressed in a specific documentation project.
