(NHL)are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. Today, 2,501 historic places bear this national distinction. Working with citizens throughout the nation, the National Historic Landmarks Program draws upon the expertise of National Park Service staff who work to nominate new landmarks and provide assistance to stewards of existing landmarks. Nominations are submitted by property owners and property stewards to the National Park Service. They are reviewed by qualified subject experts prior to their review by the NHL Advisory Board. The NPS and NHL staff is required by The Historic Sites Act to collect information regarding the condition of designated landmarks. A questionnaire will be designed and used to collect information from owners or other stewards so the condition of NHLs can be monitored over time. The regional offices of NPS assist in the collection of the condition data. Regional NPS staff contributed to the design of the questionnaire that is the subject of this request. II.
