PUBLIC NOTICE OF PREPARATION OF PROGRAMMATIC AGREEMENT FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION between the STATE OF Nevada and HUDProgrammatic Agreement • February 15th, 2017
Contract Type FiledFebruary 15th, 2017This enclosed draft agreement between Region IX HUD and the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is designed to differentiate undertakings whose effects on historic properties may be negligible (and would be subject to a limited HUD review – such as refinancing, maintenance and some rehabilitation activities) from those which have greater potential to affect historic properties (and which would be submitted for comment to SHPO, Native American Indian Tribes and interested parties under the full force of the regulation at 36 CFR 800 - such as substantial rehabilitation, demolition and new construction activities). By differentiating between these types of activities, HUD and SHPO will be able to focus more attention and preservation efforts on the projects which have the potential to affect historic properties and to expedite more efficiently those undertakings with negligible impacts.
