Summary

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Created by NJ AI Assistant (GPT-4o) and edited by NJHPO staff.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner el_class=”hpo-callout-text”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”hpo-intro-paragraph”]This issue provides a Year-in-Review for 2022 and highlights specific projects. In Fiscal Year 2022, the National Register program processed over 1,300 actions. The nomination rejection rate remained low, with only one rejection due to a proposed building move. Several initiatives were launched, including:[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]

• The Cultural Resources Submission Portal (CRSP) for electronic submissions. CRSP now accepts photos without the previous system’s count limitations. States have started submitting their backlog of photos, known as Final Pandemic or FPAN files, through CRSP.
• A revised Traditional Cultural Properties Bulletin. It continues to undergo revisions, with the goal of reissuance by December 2023. The draft bulletin is available for comment, with consultations and meetings scheduled through March.
• An expanded sample nominations web page.
• The launch of the Best Practices Review publication. This quarterly publication offers examples and guidance on specific topics. The latest issue focuses on evaluating garages and outbuildings in historic districts.  Future issues will cover topics like oral history and additional documentation.

Under staffing updates, NPS redistributed state assignments among National Register reviewers following the addition of historians Michelle Diedriech and Rachel Leibowitz. This aims to balance the workload and improve efficiency.

NPS reminds those submitting nominations to complete Section 3 of the National Register Form, which requires certification by relevant officials. This section ensures that all documentation and review requirements are met.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1758815062001{margin-bottom: 32px !important;}”][info-box-shortcode icon=”fa fa-solid fa-rectangle-list” title=”Table of Contents”]
