PART 60--NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 60.11  Requests for nominations.

    (a) The State Historic Preservation Officer or Federal Preservation 
Officer as appropriate shall respond in writing within 60 days to any 
person or organization submitting a completed National Register 
nomination form or requesting consideration for any previously prepared 
nomination form on record with the State or Federal agency. The response 
shall provide a technical opinion concerning whether or not the property 
is adequately documented and appears to meet the National Register 
criteria for evaluation in Sec. 60.4. If the nomination form is 
determined to be inadequately documented, the nominating authority shall 
provide the applicant with an explanation of the reasons for that 
determination.
    (b) If the nomination form does not appear to be adequately 
documented, upon receiving notification, it shall be the responsibility 
of the applicant to provide necessary additional documentation.
    (c) If the nomination form appears to be adequately documented and 
if the property appears to meet the National Register criteria for 
evaluation, the State Historic Preservation Officer shall comply with 
the notification requirements in Sec. 60.6 and schedule the property for 
presentation at the earliest possible State Review Board meeting. 
Scheduling shall be consistent with the State's established priorities 
for processing nominations. If the nomination form is adequately 
documented, but the property does not appear to meet National Register 
criteria for evaluation, the State Historic Preservation Officer need 
not process the nomination, unless so requested by the Keeper pursuant 
to Sec. 60.12.
    (d) The State Historic Preservation Officer's response shall advise 
the applicant of the property's position in accord with the State's 
priorities for processing nominations and of the approximate date the 
applicant can expect its consideration by the State Review Board. The 
State Historic Preservation Officer shall also provide notice to the 
applicant of the time and place of the Review Board meeting at least 30 
but not more than 75 days before the meeting, as well as complying with 
the notification requirements in Sec. 60.6.
    (e) Upon action on a nomination by the State Review Board, the State 
Historic Preservation Officer shall, within 90 days, submit the 
nomination to the National Park Service, or, if the State Historic 
Preservation Officer does not consider the property eligible for the 
National Register, so advise the applicant within 45 days.
    (f) If the applicant substantially revises a nomination form as a 
result of comments by the State or Federal agency, it may be treated by 
the State Historic Preservation Officer or Federal Preservation Officer 
as a new submittal and reprocessed in accord with the requirements in 
this section.
    (g) The Federal Preservation Officer shall request the comments of 
the State Historic Preservation Officer and notify the applicant in 
writing within 90 days of receipt of an adequately documented nomination 
form as to whether the Federal agency will nominate the property. The 
Federal Preservation Officer shall submit an adquately documented 
nomination to the National Park Service unless in his or her opinion the 
property is not eligible for the National Register.
