PART 61_PROCEDURES FOR STATE, TRIBAL, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT HISTORIC 
PRESERVATION PROGRAMS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 61.7  Subgrants to certified local governments.

    (a) Each SHPO must transfer at least 10 percent of its annual 
Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) grant award to CLGs as subgrants for 
historic preservation projects and programs in accordance with the Act. 
In any year that the annual HPF State grant appropriation exceeds 
$65,000,000, SHPOs must transfer one half of the amount over $65,000,000 
to CLGs according to procedures that the Secretary will establish.
    (b) Each CLG is eligible to receive funds from the 10 percent (or 
greater) CLG share of the State's total annual HPF grant award. However, 
the SHPO need not award funds to all CLGs.
    (c) Each SHPO must maintain and follow a procedure that the 
Secretary approves for the use and distribution of funds from the 
State's annual HPF grant award to CLGs to ensure that no CLG receives a 
disproportionate share of the allocation. The procedure will provide a 
clear basis for the funding decisions. The SHPO must submit any proposed 
amendment to its procedure to the Secretary for approval. The Secretary 
will respond to such a proposal in a timely fashion generally within 45 
days of receipt.
    (d) Each SHPO must notify annually each CLG of its opportunity to 
apply for HPF funding as well as what is entailed in the application and 
project selection process.
    (e) Each CLG receiving an HPF grant award from the CLG share is a 
subgrantee of the State. The SHPO must ensure that each CLG adheres to 
all applicable grant conditions and government-wide and program specific 
requirements that the National Park Service issues. The SHPO may require 
specific uses of funds subgranted to CLGs. CLGs may not apply subgranted 
HPF monies as matching share for any other Federal grant.
    (f) Where there is no approved State program pursuant to Sec. 61.4, 
the Secretary will determine the method for allocating funds to CLGs in 
that State in accordance with the procedures set forth for the State in 
this section. To the extent feasible, the Secretary will ensure 
consistency and continuity in the funding allocation policy of the CLG 
program for a State that does not have an approved historic preservation 
program.
