    The purpose of these rules is to set forth the policies and 
procedures that the Department of the Interior, through the National 
Park Service (NPS), uses to direct and coordinate U.S. participation in 
the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and 
Natural Heritage, which was ratified by the Senate on October 26, 1973. 
The rules describe the procedures used to implement the Convention under 
the National Historic Preservation Act Amendments of 1980. The purpose 
of the World Heritage Convention is to enhance worldwide understanding 
and appreciation of heritage conservation, and to recognize and preserve 
natural and cultural properties throughout the world that have 
outstanding universal value to mankind.
