It clarifies that there is no federal rule that mandates a Review Board member from a specific discipline to be present at meetings when their expertise is relevant. However, the board must have access to the required expertise, which can be provided by someone from the state staff if necessary. The person providing this expertise cannot vote or be counted toward the quorum. This ensures that the Review Board has all the necessary information to make well-informed recommendations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Additionally, this e-Blast discusses the flexibility of using alternative meeting procedures. While in-person meetings are not required for every session, options like telephone or video conferencing are acceptable. Alternative procedures may be developed for non-controversial nominations, as long as they meet certain requirements and have written consent from all relevant parties. The e-Blast also mentions the possibility of states delegating nomination notification responsibilities to other parties, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/deptest.nj.gov\/hpo\/programs\/community\/clg\/\">Certified Local Governments<\/a> (CLGs), through cooperative agreements. Despite such delegations, the state retains ultimate responsibility for compliance with federal regulations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][info-box-shortcode icon=&#8221;fa fa-solid fa-rectangle-list&#8221; title=&#8221;Table of Contents&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>National Register (NR) State Review Board member expertise and procedural clarifications\n<ul>\n<li>Is there a Federal requirement that a Review Board member representing a required discipline be present at a Review Board meeting when that discipline is relevant?<\/li>\n<li>Even though there is no Federal requirement that the Review Board member representing a required discipline be present at a Review Board meeting when that discipline is relevant, would it be a good idea for a Review Board to establish such a rule as a part of its definition of what constitutes a quorum?<\/li>\n<li>Are written comments sent by a Review Board member sufficient for providing expertise on a particular subject matter?<\/li>\n<li>Are there Federal rules related to what constitutes a Review Board quorum?<\/li>\n<li>What are the federal laws and regulations related to State Review Boards?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Alternative procedures for State Review Boards\n<ul>\n<li>How many Review Board Meetings must a State hold each year?<\/li>\n<li>Must every meeting of the Review Board be held in person?<\/li>\n<li>Must alternative Review Board meeting procedures be approved by the National Park Service?<\/li>\n<li>Can we use remote polling of the Review Board members as an alternative to meeting in person?<\/li>\n<li>Can States assign nomination notification responsibilities to other parties?<\/li>\n<li>Can a Certified Local Government (CLG) assist a state in carrying out its NR nomination responsibilities?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/info-box-shortcode][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_id=&#8221;end-spacer&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;4vw&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; full_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;bottom&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1759263871660{background-image: url(https:\/\/deptest.nj.gov\/hpo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/publications-banner.svg?id=17803) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221; min_height=&#8221;3em&#8221; el_class=&#8221;banner-section&#8221; el_id=&#8221;media-header&#8221;][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; el_class=&#8221;banner-overlay&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Overview Published December 2014, mailed by NPS&#8217;s National Register program to state historic preservation officer staff For preparers of New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places nominations and fellow SHPO staff.
