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 E-Blast starts by announcing the withdrawal of proposed revisions to the National Register regulations, and thanks partners for their input during the review process. It also highlights the success of the electronic submission process for nominations, introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, and notes that this process will soon expand to accept full submissions. Updates and instructions for this will be shared through various channels.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]NPS encourages teams to take advantage of virtual training and technical assistance sessions via video chat, which have proven to be effective and will continue to be offered.

There is a request to mention NPS grant funding in the transmittal letters for National Register submissions. This helps NPS monitor and close out grants efficiently.

The E-Blast reveals NPS’s new subcategories for the National Register Areas of Significance to better reflect the nation’s diversity and stories. These subcategories include more detailed options for:

• Ethnic Heritage and Social History, such as various ethnicities from Asian, European, Hispanic and Pacific Islander backgrounds.
• Covering groups and themes like LGBTQ History and Civil Rights.

These additions aim to capture a wider range of American experiences and will eventually be incorporated into future revisions of the National Register Bulletin series.[/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”]
