O. Box 12276 Austin, Texas 78711 (512) 475-3094 ATTACHMENT I R~viscd December. 1983 ~ SURVEY GRANTS National Register Survey Grants are annually allocated by the Texas Historical Commission to assist in the compilation of an inventory of the State's cultural resources and to provide basic planning data. These grants are allocated from the National Register Annual Work Pro- gram Grant awarded to the State of Texas by the Department of the Interior. The Texas Historical Commission, administrator of the National Register Program in Texas, selects surveys which will contribute to the State's Preservation Plan and makes awards in con- junction with the National Park Service, De- partment of the Interior. As with other grants awarded through the Texas Historical Commission, survey grants must be matched on a 50.50 basis. Since the funding is federal in origin, only non-federal monies may be used as a match, with the exception of General Revenue Sharing and Community De- velopment Block Grant monies. PRE-APPLICATION PROCEDURES A signed National Register Survey Grant Pre. Application Form must be submitted to the Texas Historic31 Commission in order for a nonprofit organization or governmental entity to be eligible for a survey grant. A pre-application for a Survey Grant need not propose an elaborate project description with a specific time schedule. The pre-application should, however, briefly describe the need. the proposed work, probable professionals, expected costs with matching capabilities, anticipated project duration, and any deadlines and specific schedules the applicant must adhere to. If a Survey Grant is awarded, a Project Proposal for specific work' based on a set time schedule will be required for review and approval prior to project commencement. The deadline for receipt of these completed pre~ applications is normally June 1st of each yeu. GRANT AWARDS Announcement of the Survey Grant awards will be made by the Historical Commission as early as possible in each fj,. "ear, but because the actual date of this award is dependent upon federal funding, it may vary from year to year. Too rigid a time schedule for completion of projects should therdore not be proposed. Each grant award is contingent upon submittal of an acceptable Project Proposal within two months of the date of announcement. Grant Awards for those projects failing to submit an acceptable Project Proposal by this deadline will automatically revert to the Texas Historical Commission for reallocation to another worthy project. PROJECT PROPOSAL A detailed description of what is to be accom- plished with this grant award must be submitted for the approval of the Texas Historical Commis- sion prior to project implementation. This Project Proposal should include: (I) Description of the existing circumstances prompting the need for this survey (2) Proposed scope of work; what can be expected to be accomplished (3) Project personnel and their professional qualifications (4) Budget Summary and a Detailed Budget Breakdown and Narrative. A budget narrative must be submitted with the proposed budget to explain expenditures, by item. Calculations justifying all entries should be shown. Identify all sources of matching funds. Applicants must match the amount requested with non-federal cash funds on a 50-50 basis. NOTE: Cost associated with activities to inilucnce legis!J.tion pending before the Congress, commonly referred to as "lobbying," are unallowable as charges to the National Park Service Historic Preservation Fund. These grants must conform to provisions of 18 use 1913: "No part of the money appropriated by :lOY enactment of Congress, may be used directly or in. directly to pay for :lfiY personal service, advertisement, telegram, telephone, letter, printed or written matter, or other device, intended or designed to innuence in any manner :l Memllcr of COllf'.rcs.), to favor or oppo.';e, by vote or otherwise, allY k~',L)l;ltion or appropnatioll by Congress, whether before or after the introduction of any bill or resolution proposin!: such 1e~,islation or appropriation: but this sh.l1 not prevent officers or em. ployees of the United States or its departments or a~encies from communicating to Members of Con!;Iess on the request of any Member or to Congress, through the proper officia.l channels, requests for legislation or appropnation whi<.:h they ueem necessary for the effi- cient conduct of the public business." ~ (5) Proposed project start and ,..J dates (6) Outline of anticipated future phases of work (7) Plans for utilization of data gathered in this phase. Inquiries concerning availability of funding can be made at any time, as funds are periodically realloca ted.

A Directory of Technical Information listing other sources of supporting information is available from the National Park Service. SUpPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Standards and Guidelines are prepared under the authority of Sections 101{f), (8), and (h), and Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1968, 8S amended. State Historic ' Preservation Officers; Federal Preservation Officers including those of the Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, Smithsonian Institution and General Services Administration: the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation: the National Trust for Historic Preservation; and other interested parties were consulted during the development of the Standards and Guidelines: additional consultation wiLh lhe9c agencies will occur as the Standards and Guidelines are tested during their first year of use. Purpose The proposed Standards and the philosophy on which they are based result from nearly twenty years of intensive preserva.tion activities at the Federal. State, and local levels. TIle purposes of the Standards Hl'e: To organize the information gathered <thout preservation activities. To describe results to be achieved by Federal agencies, States, and others when planning for the identification. evaluation. registration and treatment of dstoric properties.

The Standards for Plsnning discuss the relationship among these activities while the remaining activity a-tandnrds consider how each activity should be carried out. The Professional Qualifications Standards discuss the education and experience required to carry out various activities. The Standards for Planning outline a process that determines when an area should be examined for historic properties, whether an identified property is significant. and how a significant property should be treated. Preservation planning is based on the following principles: -Important historic properties cannot be replaced if they Brc destroyed. Preservation planning provides for conserva tive use of these properties. preserving them in place and l:Ivoiding harm when possible and altering or destroying properties only when necessary. -If planning for the preservation of historic properties is to have positive effects, it must begin before the identification of all significant properties has been completed. To make responsible decisions about historic properties, existing information must be used to the maximum extent und !ll:W information must be acquired as needed. -Preservation planning includes public participation. The planning process should provide a fomm for open discussion of preservation issues. Public involvement is most meaningful when it Is used to assist in defining values of properties a.nd preserva.tion planning issues, rather than when It is jimited to review of decisions already made. Early Federal Regis' and continuing public participation is essential to the broad acceptance of preservotion planning dccisillJ1~. Preservation planning can occur at lIcverallevels or lIcales: in a project arel:\; in B community; in II State as l:l whole; or in the scattered or contiguous landholdings of a, FederOtligency. Depending on the scale. the planning process will involve different segments of the public and professional communities and the resulting plans will vary in detail. For example, a State preservation p!~n will likely have more general recommendations than a plan for fI project erea or 8 communily. The planning process described in these StandBrds is flexible enough to be used at all levels while providing a common structure which promotes coordination and minimizes duplication of efforl. The Guidelines for PreHervation Planning contain additional information 8bout how to integrate various levels of planning. Standard I. PreselYolion Planning Establishes liistoric Contexts Decisions about the identification.. evaluation. registration and treatment of historic properties are most reliably made when the relationship of individual propertiC3 to other similar properties is underslood. information about historic properties reprellcntinR aspects of history. u.rchilccturc. archeology. engineering and culture must be collected a.nd organized to define these relationships..

The overall set of goals and priurities ure then altered in response to the changes in the goula and priorities for the individual historic contexts. Activities undertaken to meet the goals must be designed to deliver il usable product within a reasonable period of time. The scope of the activity must be defined so the work cun be completed with available budgeted program resources. Standard III. The Results of Preservation Planning Are Made A vai/able for Integration Into Broader Plonning Pron~sses Preservation of historic properties is one element of larger planning processes. Planning results. including goals and priorities. information about historic properties. and any planning documents.. must be transmitted in a usable form to those responsible for other plarming activities. Federally mandated historic preservalion planning is most successfully integruted into project man.agement planning ut an early stage. El&ewhere. this integ.ration is achieved by making the results of preservation planning available to other goverwnental planning boJies and to private interf~sts whose activities affect historic properties. Secretary of th& Interior's Guidelrne'I'J for Preservation Planning Introduction These Guidelines link the Standards for Preservation Planning with more specific guidance and technical information. They desLTibe one approach to meeting the Standards for Preservation Planning. Agencies. organizations or individuals proposing to approach planning differently may wish to review their approaches with the National Park Service, The Guidelines are organized 8~ follows: Munagmg thp.

It is recommended that the proCCBS and its products be described in public documents. Implvmcnting the Process The planning process is a continuous cycle. To establish and maintain such 8. procell:'!, however. the process must be divided into manageable segments that can be performed within a defmed period. such ll8 a fiscal year or budget cycle. One means of achieving \hi, is to define 8 period of time during which all the preliminary steps in the planning process will be completed. These preliminary stepH would include setting a schedule for subsequent activities. Review and Revision Planning is 8 dynamic process. It is expected that the content of the historic contexts described in Standard I and the goals and priorities described in Standard II will he altered based on new informa lion obtained 68 planning procee<:ls. The incorporation of this information is essential to improTc the contenl of the plan Rnd to keep it up-Io- date and u5efuL New information must be reviewed regularly und systematicnlly.

No. 190 I Thursday, September 29 -_._----~~-_._~_._-_._- 5. Creating mechanisms for identifying and resolving connicts about historic preservation issues. The development of historic contexts, for example. should be based on the professional input of all disciplines involved in preservation and not be. limited to a single discipline. For prehistoric archeology, for example, data from fields such as geology, geomorphology and geography may also be needed. The individuals and organizations to be invofved will depend, in part, on those present or interested in the plunning area. Documents Resulting from the Planning Process In most cases, the planning process produces documents thai explain how th{~ process works und lhut discuss the historic contexts and related goals and priorities. vVhile the process can operate ill the absence of these documents, planning documents are important because they are the most effective means of communicating the process and its recommendations to others. Planning documents also record decisions about historic properties. As various parts of the planning process are reviewed and revised to n~nect current information, related documents must also be updated. Planning documents should be created in a form that can be easily revised. It is also recommended that the format. language and organization of any documents or other materials (visulll aids, etc.) containing preservation planning informalhn meet the needs of prospective users. Developing Historic Contexts General Approach Available informati.m about historic properties must be divided into manageable units before it can be useful for planning purposes, Major decisions about identifying, evaluating, registering and trealing historic properties are most reliably made in the contt-xt of other related properties. A historic context is an organizational forma! thut groups information about related historic properties. based on a theme, geographic limits and chronological period. A single historic context describes one or more aspects of the historic development of an area. considering history, architecture, Hrcheology. engineering and culture: and identifies the significant-patterns that individual historic properties represenl, for example, Coal Mining in Northeastern Pennsylvania between 1800 and 1930. A set of historic contexts 13 / Notices -----,.-----., .,-- ------~.. is a comprehensive summary of 1111 ilspects of the history of the area. The historic context is the cornerstone of the planning process. The g01l1 of preservation plunning is to identify, evaluate, register and treat the full range of properties representing each historic context, rather than only one or two Iypes of properties. Identification Activities are organized to ensure that research and survey activities include properties representing all aspects of the historic context. Evaluation llses the historic context 8S the framework within which to apply the criteria for evalution to specific properties or property types. Decisions about treatment of properties are made with the goal of treating the range of properties in the context. The use of historic contexts in organizing mnjor pre.'H'rvulioll ilctivi'ie~ enflllrc~ that those activities result in the preservation of the wide variety of properties that represent our history, rather than only a small. biased sample of properties. Historic contexls. as theoretical constructs, are linked to actual historic properties through the concept of property type. Property types permit the development of plans for identification. evaluation find treatment even in the absence of complete knowledge of individual properties. Like the historic conlext. property types Me artifical constructs which may be revised as necessary. Historic contexts cun be developed at a variety of scales appropriate for local. State Hnd regional planning. Given the probaoility of historic contexts overlapping in an area, it is important to coordinate the development and use of contexts at all levels. Generally. the State Histonc Preservation Office possesses the most complete body of information about historic properties and. in practice, is in the best position to perform this function. The development of historic contexts generally results in documents that describe the prehistoric processes or paltnTls that define'the context. Each of the contexts selected should be developed to the point of identifying important property types to be useful in later preservation decision-making. The amount of detail included in these summaries will vary depending on the level (local. state, regional. or national) at which the contexts are dp.veloped and on their intended uses. For most planning purposes, a synopsis of the written description of the historic context is sufficient. Creating a Historic Context Generally. historic contexts should not be constructed 50 broadly as to include liB property typc.'i under u single historic context or so narrowly ilS to contain only one property type per historic context. The following procedures should be followed in creating a historic con'text. 1. IdentJfy the concept. time period and gcographicollimits for the historic context Exi5ting information. concepts. theories, models and d(~tlcriptions should be lIsed HS the bu!>is for defining historic contexts. Biases in primuiy and secondary sources should be identified and accounted for when existing information is used in defining historic contexts. The identification and description of hi~t()ric context!> HhuuJd illcorpor:de contributions from all disciplines involved in historic preservation. The chronological p;;riod and geographical <Hea of each historic context !>hould be ddined nfter the conceptuul basig is established. However. there may be exceptions, especially in defining prehistoric contexts where drainage systems or physiographic regions often are outlined first. The geographical boundaries for historic contexts f1hould not be based upon contemporary political. project or other contemporary boundaries if those boundaries do not coincide with historical boundaries. For example. boundaries for prehistoric contexts will have little relationship to contemporary city. county or state boundaries. 2. Assemble the existing information about the historic context a. Collecting information: Several kinds of information are needed to construct 8 preservation plan. Information about the history of the area encompassed by t.he historic' context must be collected. including any information about historic properties that have already been identified. Existing surveyor inventory entries <:tre lIn important source of information about historic properties. Other sources mny include literature on prehistory. history, architecture and the environment: social and environmf:nlal impact assessments: county and Stale land use plans: architectural Hno folklife studies and oral histories: ethnoBfaphic research: Slate historic invcntoric.'l Hnd registers: technical reports prepl;ued for Section 106 or other assessments of historic properties; and and direct consultation with individuals and organized groups. In addition, organizations and groups that may have important roles in defining historic contexts and values Federal Register I Vol. 48. No. 190 I Thursday, September 29, 1983 I Notices should be identified. In most ca~....) a range of knowlegeable professionals drClwn from the preservation. rlanning lllld llcadl~rl1ic COll1rnlll\ilil'~ wdl be- available to-assist in defining contexts and in identif,y'ing sources of information. In other cases, however, development of historic contexts may occur in areas whose history or prehistory has not been extensively studied. In these situations, broad general historic contexts should be initially identified using available literature and expertise. with the expectation that the contexts will be revised and subdivided in the future as primary source research and field survey are conducted. It is also important to identify such sources of information as existing planning da la, which is needed to establish goals for identification, evaluation, and treatment. and to identify factors that will affect attainment of those goals. The same approach for obtaining information is not necessarily desirable for aU historic contexts. Information should not be gathered without first cons\dering its relative importance to the historic context. the cost and time invo'lved, and the expertise required to (,ht.lin it. In many c<J~cs. for example. published sources may be used in writing initial definitions of historic contexts; archival research or field work may be needed for subsequent activities. b. Assessing information: All information should be reviewed to identify bias in historic perspective, methodological approach, or area of coverage, For exampl~, field surveys for archeological sites may have ignored historic archelolgical sites, or county land use plans may have emphasized only development goals, 3. Synthesize information The information collection and analysis results in a written narrative of the historic context. This narrative provides a detailed synthesis of the data that have been collected and analyzed. The narrative covers the history of the atea from the chosen perspective and identifies important patterns, events, persons or culfurnl values. In the process of identifying the important patterns, one should consider: <l. Trends in areA settlement and uevelopment, if relevant: b. Aesthetic and nrtistic valtlc~ embodied in architecture. construction technology or craftsmanship: c. Research values or problems relevant to the historic context; social Rnd physical sciences and humanities: Bnd cultural interests of loc.al communities; and d. Intangible cultur.d values of ethnl~ groups and native American peoples. 4. Dt'fin/.' I'mpl'rfy tYliI's A projJl~rty type is Ii grouping of individual properties bused un shared physical or associative characteristics, Property types link the ideas incorporated in the theoretical historic context with actual historic pruperties that illustrate those ideas. Property types defined for each historic context should be directly related to the conceptual basis of the historic context. Property Iypes defined for the hi~toric context "Coal r-.lining in Northeastern Pennsylvania. 1860--1930" might include coal extraction and processing .complexes: railroad and canal transportation systems: ccmmercial districts; mine workers' housing; churches, social clubs and other community facilities reflecting the ethnic origins of workers: and residenct~s and other properties associated with mine owners and other industrialists. a. IdentIfy property types: The narrative should discuss the kinds of properties expected within the geographical limits of the context and group them into those properly types most llseful in rcpresCllting important historic trends. Generally. property types should be deEned after the historic context has been defIned, Property types in common usage ("Queen Anne houses," "mill buildings," or "stratified sites") should 110t be adopted without firsl verifying their relevance to the historic contexts bein::l used. b. Characterize the ]o(:(Jlionof patterns of property types: Generalizations about where particular types of properties are likely to be found can serve as a guide for identification and treatment. Generalizations about the distribution of archeological propert.ies are frequently used. The distribution of other historic properties often can be estimated based on recognizable historical. environmental or culturul factors that determined their location, Locational patterns of property types should be based upon models that have on explicit theoretical or historical basis and cilh be tested in the field. The model may be the product of historical research and analY:Jis ("Prior to widespread use of stearn puwn. mills were located un rivers and streams uole to produce water power" or "plantiltion houses in the Mississippi nJack Delt were located on sandy clay knulls"). or it may result from sampling techniques. Often the results of statistically valid sample surveys can be used to describe the locationai patterns of a repre!lentative portion of prope~tie8 44719 belonging to a particular property type. Other surveys can also provide a basis for .';lJgRe~.lin1<': loeational piltlCrtl:l: if a div(:r;iity of histuric propertie:J was recorded and n variety of environmental zone:') was inspected, It i~ likely that the identification of lacational patterns will come from a combination of these sources. Expected or predicted IDeational pallerns of property types. should be developed with a provisiun maue for their verification. c. Churocferize the current condition of property types: The expected condition of property types should be evaluated to assist in the development of identification, evaluation and treatment strategies, and to help define physical integrity thresholds for various property types, The following should be assessed for each proIJf:~rty type: (1) Inherent characteristics of a property type that either contribute to or detract from its physical preservation, For example. a property type commonly constructed of fragile materials is more likely to be deteriorated than 8 property type constructed of durable materials-; structures whose historic function or design limits the potential for alterna.tive uses (water towers} are less likely to be reused than structures whose design allows a wider variety of other uses (commercial buildings or warehouses). (2J Aspects of the social and natural environment that may affect the preservation or visibility of the property lype. Fur example, cornrnunily values placed on certain types of properties (churches. historic cemeteries) may result in their maintenance while the need to reuse valuable materials may stimulate the disappearance of properties like abandoned houses and barns, H may be most efficient to estimate of the condition of property types based on professional knowledge of existing properties and field test the'le estimates using a small sample of properties representative of each type, 5. IdentIfy information needs Filling gaps in information is an important element of the preservation plnn designed for each historic context. Statements of the information needed should be as specific as possible, focusin;.: on lhe information need(~d. the historic context lJnd property types it upplies to, ilml why the information is needed to perform identification, . evaluation, or treatment activities.

Preservation goals should be oriented toward the greatest possible protection of properties in the historic context and should be based on the principle that properties should be preserved in place if possible, through affirmative treatments like rehabilitation. stabilization or restoration. Generally. goals will be specific to the historic context and will often be phrased in terms of property types. Some of these goals will be related to information needs previously id(~ntified for the historic context. Collectively, the goals for a historic context should be H coherent statement of program direction covering all aspects of the context. For each goal. a statement should be prepared identifying: 1. The goal. including the context and property types to which the goal applies and the geographical area in which they are located; 2, The activities required to achieve the goal; 3. The most appropriate methods or strategies for carrying out the activities; 4. A schedule within which the activities should be completed; and 5, The amount of effort required to accomplish the goal. as well as 8 way to evaluate progress toward its accomplishment. Setting priorities for gools Once goals have been developed they Tll'l'd (0 be ranked in importance. Hanking involves examining each goal in light of a number of factors. 1. Genera! social. economic, political and environmental conditions and trends affecting (positiVfdy and negatively} the identification, evalu3tion. registration and treatment of property types in the historic context. Some property types in the historic context may be more directly threatened by deterioration, land development patterns, contemporary use patterns, or public perceptions of their value, and such property types should be given priority considera tion. 2. Major cost or technical considerations affecting the identification. evaluation and treatment of property types in the historic context. The identification or treatment of Some property types m{jY be technically possible but the cost prohibitive; or techniques may not currently perfected (for example, the identification of submerged sites or objects. or the evaluation of sites containing material for which dating techniques are still being developed). 3. IdentificDtion. evaluation, registration and treatment activities previously cnrried out for property type!> in the historic context. If a number of properties representing one aspect of a historic context have been recorded or preserved, treatment of additional members of that property type may receive lower priority than treatment of a property type for which no examples have yet been recorded or preserved. This approach ensures that the focus of recording or preserving all elements of ths historic context is retained. rather than limiting activities to preserving properties representing only some aspects of the context. The result of considering the goals in light of these concerns will be a list of refined goals ranked in order of priority. Integrating Individual Contexts- Creating the Preservation Plan When historic contexts overlap geographically. competinH goals and priorities must be integrated for effective preservation planning. The ranking of goals for each historic context must be reconciled to ensure that recommendations for one context do not contradict those for another. This important step results in an overall set of priorities for several historic contexts and a list of the activities to be performed to achieve the ranked goals. When applied to a specific geographical area, this is the preservation plan for that area. It is expected that in many instnnces historic context.'! will overbp ,1.wographicaJly. Overlllpping contexts are likely to Occur in two combinations-those that were defined at the same scale (Le., textile development in Smith town H150-1B10 and Civil Wllr in Srnithtown HJ55-11)70) and those defined at different scales (i.e., Civil War in Srnithtown dnd Civil \-Var in the Shenandoah Valley). The contexts may share the same property types. although the shared properly types will probably have different levels of importance. or they may group the same properties into different property types. reflecting either a different scale of analysis or a different historical perspective. As previously noted. many of the goals that the formulated for a historic context will focus on the property types defined for that context. Thus it is critical that the integration of goals include the explicit consideration of the potential for shared property type membership by Individual properties. For example, when the same property .,,, .... . . "~'-' types are llsed by two contexts. reconciling tbe goals will require weighing the level of importance assigned to each property type. The degree to which integration of historic contexts mllst involve reconciling property types may be limited by the coordinated development of historic contexts used at various levels. Integration with Management Frameworks Preservation goals and priorities are adapted to land units through integration with other planning concerns. This integration must involve the resolution of conflicts that arise when competing resources occupy the SHme land b3se. Successful resolution of these conflicts can often be achieved through judicious combination of inventory, evaluation and treatment activities, Since historic properties are irreplaceable, these activities should be heavily weighted to discourage the de!'>truction of significant properties and to be compatible with the primary land use.

Identification activities should use a search proceclclrc consistent with the !l\dflngement t1e{-~ds for information and the character of the area to be investigated. Careful selection of melhods. techniques and level of dct<lil is necessary so that the gathered information will provide a sound basis for making decisions. Standard J1. Results of IdentJfication Activities are Integrated Into the Preservation Plonning Process Results of identification activities are reviewed for their effects on previous planning data. Archival research or field survey may refine the understanding of one or more historic contexts and may alter the need for additional surveyor study of particular property types. Incorporation of the results of these activities into the planning process is necessary to ensure that the planning process is always based on the best available information. Stondord Ill. Identificotion Activities Include Expiicit Procedures for Record- Keeping and Inforlllatioll Distribution Information gathered in identification activities is useful in other preservation planning activities only when it is systematically gathered Hnd recorded. and made available to those responsible for preservation planning. The results of identification activities should be reported in a format that summarizes the design and methods of the survey. provides a basis for others to review the results, and states \vhere information on identified propl~rties is maintained. However, 'sensitive information. like the location of fragile resources, must be safeguarded from general public distribution. Secretary of the interior's GuideJi.~es for Identification Introduction / These Guidelines link the Standards for Identification with more specific guidance and technicul information. The Guidelines outline one approach to mL the Standards for Identification, Agencif!9. organiwtinns Bnd individuals proposing to upprouch identification differently may wish to review their approaches "vith the National Park Service. The Guidelines are organized as follows: Role of Identiiicatiun in the Plannill~ Process Performing Identification Integrating Identification Results Reporting lrlentificalion RI'f1ulls Recommended Sources of Technical Information Role of Idt>!1tJficolion iIl the FInnnin:< Pro(:ess Identification is undertaken for lhe purpose of locating historic properties lind is composed of a number of activities which include. uut are not limited to archival research, informant interviews, field survey and analysis. Combinations of these activities mav be selected and appropriate levels of effort assigned to produce a flexible series of options. Generally identification activities will have multiple objectives, reflecting complex management needs. Wilhin a comprehensive planning process. identification is normally undertaken to acquire property-specific information needed to refine a particular historic context or to develop any new historic contexts. (See the Guidelines for Preservation Planning for discussion of information gathering to c~tilblish plans and to develop historic contexts.) The result.9 of identification activities are then integrated into the planr.ing pr()ces~ ~o tllil! subsl~qllcnt Hctivilies tire based on the most up-to-date informRtion. Identifir:ation activities Hrc also undertAken in the ilb!-H~nce of u comprehensive planning process, mo~t frequently as part of a specific bnd-use or development project. Even lacking a formally developed prc~el'vati()n planning proCf~SS. the benefits of efficent. goal-directed research may be obtained by the development of localized historic contexts. suitable in scale for the prnject area. as part of the background research which customarily occurs before field SUrV(lY efforts. Performing IdentIfication Research D{~sign Identification activities arc essentially l"f~seHrch activities for which a statement of objectives or research design should be prepdred bdale work is performed. 'YVilhin the framework of a comprehensive planning process. the research desi;;.;n provides a vehicle for inte~raling the vHrious activities periormed during the identification process and for linking those activities directly to the goals and the historic contcxt(sJ for wbich those goal!'! were defined. The research deHign stipulates the logical integration of historic contcxt(s) unci field unci laboratory methodology. Although these tasks may be performed individually. they will not contribute lO the greatest extent possible in increasing information on the historic contexl unless they relate to the defined goals and to each other. Additionally, the research design provides a focus for the integration of interdisciplinary information. II ensures that the linkages betvveCll speciHliz{~d uctivitics me real. logical and uddreHs the defined re!:iP<lrch quc!>tions. Identification iJctivilics should be guided by the research design and the results uiscussed in tbose terms. (See Reporting Identification Results) The research design should include the following: 1, Objectives of the identification activities. For example: to characterize the range of historic properties in a region; Lo identify the number of properties associated with a context: to gather information to determine which properties in an area are significant. The statement of objectives should refer to current knowledge about the historic contexts or property types, bused on background research or BsseS!'!ments of previous research. It should clearly ddine the physical extent uf the area to be investigated and the amount and kinds of information to be gathered about properties in the area. 2. fvIelhods to be llsed \0 obtuin the information. For example: archival research or field survey. Research methods should be c:lcl:Irly and specifically related to research problems. Archival research or survey methods should be carefully explained so that others using the gathereu information can understand how the information was obtained and what its possible limitations or biases arc, The methods should be compatible. with the past and present environmental character of the geographicul area under study Hnd the kinds of properties most likely to be presen! in the area. 3. The expected results dnd the reasons for those expeclions. Expectation3 about the kind. number. location, character and condition of historic properties are generally blised on a combination of background research. proposed hypotheses. und analogy to the kinds uf propertie! known to exist in areas of similar environment or history. , . 44722 Federal Register / Vol. 48, No. 190 / Thursday, Septcmb Archival Research Archival or background research i9 generally underti.Jken prior to any field survey. \Vhere identification is under"token 8S par! of a comprehensive planning process, background research may have taken place as part of the development of the historic contexts (see the Guidelines for Preservation Planning). In the absence of previously developed historic contexts. archival research should address specific issues and topics. It should not duplicate previous work. Sources should include. but not be limited to, historical maps, atlases, tax records, photographs. ethnographieg, folklife documentation, oral histories and other studies, as well as standard historical reference works, as appropriate for the research problem. (See the Guidelines fur Hi~torical Documentation for additional . discussion.) Field Survey The variety of field survey techniques available, in combination with the varying levels of effort that may be assigned. give great flexibility to implementing field surveys. It is important that the selection of field survey techniques and level of effort be responsive to the management needs and preservation goals that direct the survey effort. Survey techniques may be loosely grouped into two categories, according to their results. First are the techniq1Jes that result in the characterization of a region's historic properties. Such techniques might include "windshield" or walk-over surveys, with perhaps a limited use of sub-surface survey. For purposes of these Guidelines, this kind of survey is lermed a "reconnaissance." The second category of survey techniques is those that permit the identification and description of specific historic properties in an area; this kind of survey effort is termed "intensive." the terms "rcconnaissancc'. and "intensive" are sometimes defined to mean particular survey techniques, 1-~eneral1y with regard to prehistoric sites. The use of the terms here is ~eneral and is not intended to redefine the lerms as they are Ilsed elsp.where. Reconnaissance survey might be mosl profitably employed when gathering (Lita to refine a df'veloppd hi:-;tnric context~such as checking on the presence or absence of expected property types. to define specific property types or to estimate the distribution of historic properties in an area: The results of regional chClracterization activities provide a t;<-,neral understanding of the historic properties in fl particular area and permit mHnil~ement dcr.isi()n~ thnl consider the sensitivity of the area in tcrm~ of historic preservation conr.erns and lhe resulting implications for future land use planning. The data should allow the formulation of estimates of the necessity, type and cost of further identification work and the setting of priorities for the individual tasks involved. In most cases, areas surveyed in this way will require resurvey if more complete information is needed about specific properties. A reconnaissance survey should document: 1. The kinds of properties looked for; 2. The boundaries of the area surveyed; 3. The method of sllfvcy. including the [~xtent of survey r.o\'eruge; 4. The kinds of historic properties present in the surveyed area; 5. Specific properties thaI were identified, and the catexories of information collected; Hnd 6. Places examined that did not contain histonc properties. Intensive slIrvey is most useful when it is necessary to know pr-ecise!y what historic properties exist in a given area or \-vhen information sufficient for later eVl::duation and treatment decisions i.'l needed on individual historic properties. Intensive survey describes the distribution of properties in an areH; determines the number. location, and condition of properties; determines the types of properties 'H:!udlly pre.'lcnt within the area; permits classification of individual properties: Bnd records the physical extent of specific_ properties. An intensive survey should document: 1. The kinds of properties looked for; z.. The boundaries of the area surveyed; 3. The method of survey, including an estimate of the extent of survey coverage; 4. A record of the precise location of <ill properties identified; Imd 5. Information on the appearance, significnnce, integrity and boundafi{~s of each property sufficient to permit an evaluHtion of its signific,ll1cc. Sampling Reconnaissance or intensive survey methods may be employed according to H ,<;amplinr: prncedu!'I' to "',Imine k'~~l. than-the-tul,d project or p!;lnnlllr: area. Sumpling can be effectiv~ when several locations are being considt,reu for an undert:\king or when it is desirable to estimate the cultur,d resources of an area. In many cases, especially where large lnnd areas are involved. 8umpling eln he done in stages. in thiS HpPTOJch, the results of '~9, 1983 / Notices the lndiallarge area survey are uSI:d 10 structure succcssivtdy smaller, more detailed surveys. This "nesting" approach is an efficient technique since it enables characterization of both large and small areas with reduced effort. As with all investigative techniques, such pror.edures should be designed to permit an independent assessment of results. Various types of sample surveys can be conducted, inciuding. but not limited .to: random, stratified and systematic. Selection of sample type should be guided by the problem the survey is expected to solve, the nature of the expected properties and the nature of the area to be surveyed. Sample surveys may provide data to cRtimate frequencie~ of properties und tYP{~g of properties within a specified area at various confidence levels. Selection of confidence levels should be based upon the nature of Ihe problem the Sample survey i!"; designed to address. Predictive modeling is an application of basic sampling techniques that projects or extrapolates the number. cl,lsse:; find frequencies of properties in unsurveyed areas based on those found in surveyed areas. Predictive modeling can he an effective tool during the eurly stages of planning an undertaking, for targeting field survey and for other management purposes. However, the accuracy of the model mwit be verified; predictions should be r.onfirmed tflfotlgh field testing and the model redeSigned find retested if necessHry. Special survey techniques Special survey techniques may be needed in certain situations. Remote sensing techniques may be the most effective way to gather background environmental data, plan more detailed field investigations, discover certain classes of properties, mil!> sites. locate and confirm thf~ presence of predicted sites. and define fcatlll'cs within properties. Remote sensing techniques include /Jerial. subsurface and underwatpr techniqIH~<; Ordinarily the results of remote sensinr: should be verified through independent field inspection before ma"ing any evaluation or statement regarding frequencies or types of properties. 1",'li':;n:t/ll,~;' IIJenti(iculiollllesllJts The results of identification efforts must be integrated into the planning process so that plannIng decisions are b,lsed on the best available informallon. The new informantion is first assessed ;;gainst tile objectives of the identification effort to Jetermme whether the Blithered informatlon meets '., .1..

In addition, the historic context narr<1tive. the definition of properly types and the planning goals fur evaluation and treatment are all adjusted as nccessllry to accommodate the new data. Reporting JdentJfication Results' Reporting of the results of identification activities should begin with the statement of obfectives prepared before undertaking the survey. The report should respond to each of the major points documenting: 1. Objectives; 2. Area researched or surveyed: 3. Research design or statement of objectives: 4. Methods used, including the intensity of coverage. If the methods differ from those outlined in the statement of objectives, the reasons should be explained. 5. Results: how the results met the objectives; result analysis. implications and recomrnedations: where the compiled information is located, A summary of the survey results should be available for examination and distribution. Identified properties should then be evuluated for possible inclusion in appropriate inventories, Protection of information about archeological $itcs or other properties that may be threatened by dissemination of that information is nece~sary. These may include frngile archeological properties or properties such as religious sites. structures. or oujects, whose cultural value would be compromised by public knowledge of the property's location.

EV(J!uation of the Significan'ce of Historic Properties Uses Estahlished Criteria The evaluation of historic properties employs criteria to determine which properties are significant. Criteria should lherefore focus on historical. architectural, archeological. engineering and cultural values, rather than on treatments. A statement of the minimum information necessary to evaluate properties against the criteria should be provided to direct information gathering activities. Because the National Register of Historic Places is a major focus of preservation activities on the Federal. State and local levels, the National Register criteria have been widely adopted not only as required for Federal purposes, but for State and local inventories as" well. The N9.tional Historic Landmark criteria and other criteria used for inclusion of properties in State historic site files are other examples of criteria with different management purpo.'les. 5'tandard II.

Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for Evaluation Introduction These Guidelines link the Standards for Evaluation with more specific guidance and technical information. These Guidelines describe one approach to meeting the Standards for Evaluation. Agencies, organizations, or individuals proposing to approach evaluation differently may wish to review their approach with the National Park Service, The Guidelines are organized as follows: The EvalaU81ion Process Criteria Application of Criteria within a Histonc Context Inventory Recommended Sources of Technical Information The E~'aluotjon Process These Guidelines describe principles for evaluating the significance of one or more historic properties with regard to a given set of criteria. Groups of related properties should be evaluated at the same time whenever possible: for example, following completion of a theme study or community survey. Evaluation should not be undertaken using documentation that may be out of date. Prior to proceeding with evaluation the current condition of the- property should be determined and previous' analyses evaluated in light of any new informa lion. Evaluation must be performed by persons qualified by education, training and experience in the application of the criteria. Where feasible, evaluation should be performed in consultation with other individuals experienced in applying the relevant criteria in the geographical area under consideration: for example. the State Historic Preservation Officer or local landmarks commission. Evaluation is completed with a written determination that 8 property is or is not significant based on provided information. This statement should be part of the record. Criteria: The purposes of evaluation criteria should be made clear. For example. the criteria may be used "to evaluate properties for inclusion in the county landmarks list," or "to implement the National Register of Historic Places program. " For Federal cultural resource management purposes, criteria used to develop an inventory should be coordinated with the National Register criteria for evaluation as implemented in the approved State comprehensive historic preservation plan. Content of Criteria: Criterifi should be appropriate in scale to the purpose of the evnlualion. For {~xl1rnple. criteria designed to descrihe Bational siRnificance should not be used uS the basis for creating a county or State inventory. Criterii:t should be categorical and not attempt to describe in detail every property likely to qualify. Criteria should outline Ihe disciplines or broad areas of concern (history, archeology, architectural history, engineering and culture, for example) included within the scope of the inventory; explain what kinds of properties, if any, are excluded and the reasons for exclusion: and define how levels of significance are measured, if such levels are incorporated into the criteria. If the criteria are to be used in situations where the National Register criteria are also Widely used. it is valuable to include a statement explaining the relationship of the criteria used to the National Register criteria, including how the scope of the inventory differs from that defined by the National Register criteria B.nd how the inventory could be use to identify properties that meet the National Register criteria. Information Needed to Evnluilte Properties: The criterin should be accompanied by a statement defining the minimum information necessary to evaluate properties to insure that this information is collected during identification activities intended to locate tl!--Jecifjc historic properties. Generally, at least the following will be needed: 1. Adequately developed historic contexts. including identified property types. (See the Guidelines for \ Preservation Planning for di~cus3ian of development of historic contexts.) 2. Sufficient information about the appeanrnce, condition and aS8oclntivo values of the property to be evaluated to: a. Classify it as to property type; o. Compare its features or characteristics with those expected for its property type; Llnd c. Define the physical extent of the property and accurately locate the property. To facilitate distinguishing between facts and analysis, the information should be divided into categories. including identification and description of pertinent historical contexts: descri ption of the property and its significance in the historical context: and analysis of the integrity of the property relative to that needed to represent the context. Usually documentation need not include slJch items <1s. a complete litle history or biogruphy of every owner of u property, except where thilt inform;Jtion i!> important in evaluating il:l significance. Information on proposed or potential treatments or threats, such 83 destruction of a property through uncontrollable natural processes. is also not needed for evaluation, unless those effects are likely to Occur prior to or during the evaluation, thereby altering the significant characteristic of the property. If archeological testing or structural analvsis is needed for evaluation, it should not proceeded beYDnd the point of providing the information necessary for evaluation and should not unnecessarily affect significant features or values of the property, When more information is needed: Evaluation Cannot be conducted unless all necessary information is available. (See Information Needed to Evaluate Properties.) Any missing information or analysis should be identified (e.g. development of context or information on the property] 8S well as the specific activities required to obtain the information (archival research. field survey and testing, or laboratDry testing). When udequute information is not available, it is important to record tflHt fact so thut evaluation will not be undertaken until the information can be obtained, In some cases needed information is not obtainable. for example. where historical records have been destroyed or analytical techniques have not been developed to date materials in archeological sites, If an evaluation must be completed in these C<lses, it is important 10 acknowlcd~e what information was not obtainable and how that missing information may affect the reliability of the evaluation: Application of the Critt.'ria within a Historic Context The first step in evaluation is considering how the criteria apply to the .,:: Federal R( er I Vol. 48. No. 190 I Thursday. Sept er 29. 1983 I Notices' 44725 particular historic contexl This is done by reviewing the previously developed narrative for the historic context and determining how the criteria would apply to properties in that context. based on the important patterns, events,. persons and cultural values identified. [See the discussion of the historic context narrative in the Guidelines for Preservation Planning.) This step includes identification of which criteria each property type might meet and how integrity is to be evaluated for each property type under each criterion. Specific guidelines for evaluating the eligibility of individual properties should be established. These guidelines should outline and justify the specific physical characteristics or dnta requirements that all individual properly must possess to retain integrity for the particular property type; and define the process by which revisions or additions can be made to the evaluation framework. Consideration of property type and intergrity: After considering how the criteria apply to the particular historic context, the evaluation process for a property generally includes the following steps: 1. A property is classified as to the appropriate historic context(s) and property type{s). If no existing property type is appropriate.. a new property type is defined, its values identified. and the specific characteristics or data requirements are outlined and justified as an addition to the historic context. If necessary. a new historic context is defined for which values and property Iy'pes and their integrity requirements are identified and justified. 2. A comparison is made between the existing information about the property and the integrity characteristics or data required for the property type. a. If the comparison shows that the property pOssesses these characteristics. then it is evaluated as :Jignificnnt for that historic context. The evaluation includes a determination that the property retains integrity for its type. b. If the comparison shows that the property does not meet the minimum requirements. one of several conclusions is reached: (1) The properly is determined not significant because it does not :etain the integrity defined for the property type. (2) The property has characteristics that may make it significant but these djffer from those expected for that property type in that context. In this case, the historic context or property types should be reexamined and revised if necessary, based on subsequent research and survev. The evalUation should state how the particular property meets the integrity requirements for its type. When a property is disqualified for los~ of integrity. the evaluation statement should focus on the kinds of integrity expected for the property type. those that are absent for the disqualified property, nnd the impact of that absence on the property's ability to exemplify architectural. historical or research values within a particular historic context. The integrity of the property in its current condition. rather than its likely condition after a proposed treatment, should be evaluated. Factors such as structural problems. deterioration. or abandonment should be considered in the evaluation only if they have affected the integrity of the significant fl:;ltlln:s or characteristics of the property. "- Invelltory An inventory is a repository of informa tion on specific properties evaluated as significant. Content: The inventory should include: 1. Summaries of the important historic contexts. These may be in the form of an approved plan or analyses of historic contexts important in the history of the geographical area covered by the inventory, 2. De9:criptions of significant property types of these contexts., whether or not any specific properties have been identified. 3. Results of reconnaissance surveys. or other identification activities. even if the level of infurmation on specific properties identIfied as part of those activities is not sufficient to evaluate individual properties_ 4. Information on individual properties that was used in evaluation. Historic contexts are identified by name, with reference to documents describing those contextfl, or with a narrative statement about the conte.xt{s) where sucb documents do not exist. A dCflcription of the property. Part of this description may be a photographic record. A statement that justifies the significance of the property in relation to its context(s). This statement should include an analysis of the integrity of the property. Boundaries of the property. ^ record of when a property wag evaluated and included in the inventory, and bv whom. ~ Records on demolished or altered properties and properties evaluated as not si,lSnificant should be retained. along with full description of areae surveyed. for the ptannill.~ information these records provide about impucts to properties and about the location and character of non~significant properties to prevent redundant identification work at u later time. Maintenance: Inventory entries should be maintained so that they accurately represent what is known about historic properties in the ah~a covered by the inventory. This will include new information gained from research and survey about the historic cnntexts. property types. and previously evaluated properties., us weU as: information about newly evaluated properties. For individual properties. addition of kinds of significance, change in the boundaric~. or loss of significance through demolition or alteration should be recorded. Uses (lnd Avoilability: An inventory should be managed 80 that the information is uccessibl.e_ Its usefulness depends on the organization of information and on its l:Ioilty to incorporate new information. An inventory should be structu:ed so that entries can be retrieved by locality or by historic context. The availability of the inventory information should be announced or a summary should be distributed.

Some registration programs provide recognition and other broad benefits while other programs authorize lnore specific forms of protection, Standard l Registration Is Conducted According To Stated Procedures Registration of historic properties in the National R'egister of Historic Places must be done in accordance with the National Register regulations published In the Code of Federal Regulations, 36 CFR 00.

Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for Registration Introduction These Guidelines link the Standards for Registration with more specific guidance and technical information, They de8cribe one approach 10 meeting the Standards for Registration. Agencies. orgnniz~lions, or individuals prop08ing to approach registration differently may wish to review their approach with the National Park Service. The Guidelines are organized OR follows: Purpose of Regi!ltrelion ProgninlS Registration Procedure!! DocumentAtion on Regi/:ltered Properlills Public AVAilability Recommended Sources of Techniclll Information Purpose of !legistration Progmms Registration of historic properties is the formal recognition of properties that have been evaluated as significunt according to written criteria. Registration results in an official inventory or list that serves an administrative function. A variety of benefits or forms of protection accure to a registered property, ranging from honorific recognition to prohibition of demolition or alteration. Some registration programs prOvide recognition and other broad benefits or entitlements, whiJe other registrations of properties may. in addition, authorize more specific forms of protection. The application of the registration process should be a logical outgrowth of the 8anle planning goals and priorities that gUided the identification and evaluation activities. All registration programs .hauld establish priorities for recognition of their authorized range of properties; provide for confidentinlity of sensitive Information: and establish II meona of 8pPflaling the registrntlon or non~rc8istr8lion of 8 property. RaSis/rotion Procedures ExpilcH procedures are essential because they are the means by which the public can understand and participate in the registration procea/!., Procedures for reRis!ration proHrams should be developed by professionals in 29, 1983 I Notices the field of historic; prcaervu lion. in consultution with those who will use or be~ affected by the program. Prior to taking effect. procedures should be published or circulated for comment at the governmental level al which they will be used, (Procedures for registration of properties in the National Register of Historic Places and the National Historic Landmarks list, for example, are published in the F&deral Register.) Any registration program should include: 1. A professional staff to preparE! or assess the documentation; .2, A professional review, independent of the nomina ting source. to provi de an impartial evaluation of the documented significance; 3, Adequate notice to property owners, elected officials and the public about proposed registrations and the effects of .listing, if any; and 4. A means of public participation. Profe".'lional Review: The registnltion procesa-shouJd include an independent evaluation of the significance of the property and of the quality llnd thoroughness of the documentation supporting that siHnificance. Such evaluation enSllres that significance is adequately justified Hnd that registration documentation meets the technical requirements of the registration process. State and local prc8crvl'Ition programs, concerned with both public and private properties, generally use a review board, panel or commission. This level of professional review has proven to be effective in assessing the significance of properties considered for registration. Review boards and other fOnTIS of independent review should include professionala in the fields or diciplines included in the criteria: representatives of other fields or disciplines may be desirable to reflect other values or aspects of the register. Key personnel must be qualified by eduGfltion, training or experience to accompli~h their designated duties. [See the Professional Qunlificutiona Standurds.) The scope of the independent review sbollld be cleurly Btnll~d in the registration procedures und should nol include issues outRide the :JCOpP. of lhe upplicuble erilcrill for evuluation und other areus specified in the procedure.'! Ctmerully. independent reviewers should not be involved in any primary research or analysis related to properties under consideration: this information should be gathered and organized prior to review meetings, Dor:umentation presented to the reviewers should be made avallable to Federal Register / Vol. 48, No. 190 / Thursday, September 29, 1983 / Notices the public prior to review mee,....!'ls or public hearings. Registration of properties should not take place until review of documentation has been completed.. Public Notice: Adequate notice allows property owners, officials and other interested parties to comment on proposed registrations prior to action by the independent reviewers. The degree of protection and control provided by a registration program may be a factor in determining what constitutes adequate notice. For example. adequate notice of proposed inclusion in honorific registers may be less complex than that for registration that results in local controls on alteration or demolition of registered properties. Notice to elected officials and the public is necessary to distribute information about potential registrations of concern to planning and development interests. Adequate notice to property owners may be accomplished through means ranging from individual notification by mail to publication of a public notice, depending on the nature of the registration program and the number and character of the properties involved. Public notices and owner notification about proposed registrations ~hOllld include the dates and timeg of public meetings and review meetings. the kinds of comments lhat are appropriate. and how comments will be considered in the evaluation process. The notice should also state where infonnation can be obtained about the registration program. the criteria used to evaluate properties for inclusion. and the significance of specific properties under consideration. The procedures should include a means of public participation in the form of submission of written comments or a review meeting open to the public or a public hearing. The procedures should state time periods within which reviews. notices. comments. public hearings, review meetings and appeals will occur. The time pericds should be short enough to allow for efficient recognition of historic properties but also allow adequate time for public comment and participation by those affected. Time periods may vary depending on whether activities are carried out at the local, State. or national level. These time schedules should be widely circulated so that the process is widely understood. Appea] Process: A means of appeal should be included in the registration process to allow for reconsiders tion of a property's inclusion. Reasons for appeal may range from existence of additional information ubout the property supporting or refuting its significance to administrative or procedural error. An appeal process should specify to whom an appeal may be made and how the information that is provided will be evaluated, The appeal procedures should also state the time limit. if any, on appealing a decision and on consideration of information and issuance of a decision by the appeal authority. Documentation on Registered Properties Ducumentation requirements should be carefully weighed to provide the informntion actlloJ/y needed to reach a registration decision ilnd should be made public. It should be made cerluin that identification and evaluation activities obtain and record the information necessary for registration. Documentation should be prepared in a st<lndardized format and on materials that Hre archivally stable and easy to store and retrieve. Loca lion: The precise loca tion of a historic property must be clearly identified. Street address, town or vicinity. and county should be provided. Properties should also be located on maps; these may be USGS maps. county planning maps. or city base maps or real estate maps....t\ uniform system of noting loca tion. such as UTM grid points or longitude and latitude, should supplement mapping. It is recommended that each registration process standardize the preferred choice of maps appropriate to the scope of the process. Description: An accurate description of a property includes C:l description of both the current and historical physical appearance and condition of the property and notes the relevant property type(s) for the applicable historic context(s). Discussion should include alterations, deterioration. relocation and - other changes to the property since ita period of significance. Significance: A statement of significance should explain why a property meets the criteria for inclusion in the register to which it has been nominated. This statement should contain at least 3 elements: 1. Reference to the relevant historic cpntext(s); 2. Identification of relevant property lypes within the context and their characteristics; and 3. Justification that the property under considcrntion has the characteristics required to qualify it Relevant historic contextD can be identified through reference to the preservnlion plan Dr other docllments wht~re the cuntexts have been 44727 previously described or can be provided by a narrative discussion of the context. (The development of contexts and their use in evalua ling properties are discussed in the Guidelines for Preserva tion Planning and the Guidelines for Evaluation.) A significant properly type and its characteristics are identified either through reference to the historic context(s] or by a narrative in the documentation tIlat describes historic conlexts. Justification of a specific property is made by systematic comparison of its characteristics to those required for the property type. Doundaries: The clelineation and justification of boundaries for u registered property are important for future treatment activities. It is expeciully critical when lc~al restraints or restrictions may result from the registration of properties. Thus. boundaries should correspond as closely as possible to the actual extent and configuration of the property and should be carefully selected to encompass. but not exceed. the extent of the significant resource(s}. 'The selection of boundaries should rencct the significant aspects of the property, Arbitrary boundaries should not be chosen for ease of description slnce VIii can result in the inclusion of uruel.ated land or in exclusion of a portion of the historic property_ Present property lines should not be chosen us property boundaries without careful analysis of whether they are uppropriate to the historic property. A single uniform boundary descripllOn and ucreage should not be applied to a group or class of properties (antebellum plantation:'>. for example) without examinlltion of the actual extent of each property. The selected'boundaries should be justified as appropriate to the historic property. Boundaries should be clearly and precisely described. using a verbal boundary description. legal description. accurate sketch map. or lines drawn on base maps, or H combination of tbese where needed to specify the Iimi ts of the property being registered. When used, maps should show the location of buildin~s, structures. sites or object.~ witbin the boundary. Updating Information on Registered Properties: A change in the condition of the significant features of a property may require a change in the official registration record. Alteration of a significant architectural feature. for example. could mean that B property is no longer significant for its architectural design.

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. This is the framework that guidI'S the selection of methods and eli/dlllltion of r(,!Jull~.

Historical Analysis An essential aspect of a survey and planning study is a concise, yet thorough, analysis of the forces that shaped Paris and an account of the general development of the community, including not only its very early history but recent history as well, Beyond the usual political history of the community, the historical analysis, gathered through historical research in Paris and at the State level, will consider underlying themes which combined to give Paris its own individual character. 2, The Inventory .' . . , The inventory consists of information compiled on specific places relating to the general themes described in the Historical Analysis, v A. Areas to be surveyed and inventoried: ,,, To help insure that all aspects of past development and all groups that participated are. considered, the following types of stru.ctures and complexes will be documented:, r ,- i "."'"' ,:" 'C'{t, i ,i :". :', . / I ;.',.: t '<,.

Military including arsenals, armories, campsites, reservations, ba t t1egrounds. Recreational including amphitheaters, swimming pools, gymnasiums, bandstands, stadiums, playing fields, courts and parks. . Religious including churches, chapels, synagogues, meetinghouses, seminaries, convents, burial vaults, mausoleums. Residential including houses, cottages, apartment buildings, tenements, industrial housing complexes. Social including lodges, clubhouses, fraternity houscs. Transportation including paths, trails, railroads, bridges, viaducts, airports, toll tlOuses, stations of various types, terminals, stables, carriage houses, garages, carbarns, shops. B. Inventory Forms The results of the survey will be documented on forms designed to provide important information and aspects of the historic structures, sites, including archeological sites in a concise, organized and -consistent-format;'''-This 'data will-be documented on survey cards provided by the Texas Historic Commission and all sites will be graphically located on appropriate United States Geological Survey maps so they can be keyed into computerized mapping techniques if necessary. Larger scaled maps will be produced as will keeping properties identified on survey cards to Paris Planning and Zoning maps. C. Photographs Each historic place will be further documented through high quality photographs. All primary elevations and auxiliary buildings will be photographed in 35 mm black and white format and logged on photo index forms identical to those produced by the Texas Historical Commission, Also contact sheets and negatives will be keyed to survey cards and maps and placed in ring binders. A commercial sized print (3-1/2 x 5") of a primary view will be attached to the survey cards further documenting each historic place. Two sets of color slides of each potential property eligible as a National Register listing will be submitted. The slides will be Kodachrome film and displayed in clear plastic slide catalogue sheets and placed in a ring binder. -3- ,,... ,.:.' . ......;.'-~....~.~_.~-",.;. ".'...!"'"':':~~'" :.....-,. .. Recommendations for Action - Part II The first two sections of the survey without recommendations would just record historic places as observed in the 1980's, The third component of the professional services proposed will include planning and civic actions which can preserve and perpetuate the community's own special identity. Planning recom mendations can include: 1. An overall appraisal of important areas to be preserved and identifying potential local legal methods of protection through landmark designation ordinances. 2, Identifying potential historic districts which can provide a planning basis for possible public improvements and city master planning, On a local level, individual structures may be protected by landmark ordinances while historic district legislation may place controls not only on rehabilitation of older structures but also on new buildings constructed within the district. ) 7- ,~. .
