(a) National Register of Historic Places; designation of properties
as historic landmarks; properties deemed included; criteria;
nomination of properties by States, local governments or
individuals; regulations; review of threats to properties
(1)(A) The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to expand and
maintain a National Register of Historic Places composed of
districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in
American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and
culture. Notwithstanding section 1125(c) of title 15, buildings and
structures on or eligible for inclusion on the National Register of
Historic Places (either individually or as part of a historic
district), or designated as an individual landmark or as a
contributing building in a historic district by a unit of State or
local government, may retain the name historically associated with
the building or structure.
(B) Properties meeting the criteria for National Historic
Landmarks established pursuant to paragraph (2) shall be designated
as "National Historic Landmarks" and included on the National
Register, subject to the requirements of paragraph (6). All
historic properties included on the National Register on December
12, 1980, shall be deemed to be included on the National Register
as of their initial listing for purposes of this subchapter. All
historic properties listed in the Federal Register of February 6,
1979, as "National Historic Landmarks" or thereafter prior to the
effective date of this Act are declared by Congress to be National
Historic Landmarks of national historic significance as of their
initial listing as such in the Federal Register for purposes of
this subchapter and sections 461 to 467 of this title; except that
in cases of National Historic Landmark districts for which no
boundaries have been established, boundaries must first be
published in the Federal Register.
(2) The Secretary in consultation with national historical and
archaeological associations, shall establish or revise criteria for
properties to be included on the National Register and criteria for
National Historic Landmarks, and shall also promulgate or revise
regulations as may be necessary for -
(A) nominating properties for inclusion in, and removal from,
the National Register and the recommendation of properties by
certified local governments;
(B) designating properties as National Historic Landmarks and
removing such designation;
(C) considering appeals from such recommendations, nominations,
removals, and designations (or any failure or refusal by a
nominating authority to nominate or designate);
(D) nominating historic properties for inclusion in the World
Heritage List in accordance with the terms of the Convention
concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural
Heritage;
(E) making determinations of eligibility of properties for
inclusion on the National Register; and
(F) notifying the owner of a property, any appropriate local
governments, and the general public, when the property is being
considered for inclusion on the National Register, for
designation as a National Historic Landmark or for nomination to
the World Heritage List.
(3) Subject to the requirements of paragraph (6), any State which
is carrying out a program approved under subsection (b) of this
section, shall nominate to the Secretary properties which meet the
criteria promulgated under subsection (a) of this section for
inclusion on the National Register. Subject to paragraph (6), any
property nominated under this paragraph or under section 470h-
2(a)(2) of this title shall be included on the National Register
on the date forty-five days after receipt by the Secretary of the
nomination and the necessary documentation, unless the Secretary
disapproves such nomination within such forty-five day period or
unless an appeal is filed under paragraph (5).
(4) Subject to the requirements of paragraph (6) the Secretary
may accept a nomination directly from any person or local
government for inclusion of a property on the National Register
only if such property is located in a State where there is no
program approved under subsection (b) of this section. The
Secretary may include on the National Register any property for
which such a nomination is made if he determines that such property
is eligible in accordance with the regulations promulgated under
paragraph (2). Such determination shall be made within ninety days
from the date of the nomination unless the nomination is appealed
under paragraph (5).
(5) Any person or local government may appeal to the Secretary a
nomination of any historic property for inclusion on the National
Register and may appeal to the Secretary the failure or refusal of
a nominating authority to nominate a property in accordance with
this subsection.
(6) The Secretary shall promulgate regulations requiring that
before any property or district may be included on the National
Register or designated as a National Historic Landmark, the owner
or owners of such property, or a majority of the owners of the
properties within the district in the case of an historic district,
shall be given the opportunity (including a reasonable period of
time) to concur in, or object to, the nomination of the property or
district for such inclusion or designation. If the owner or owners
of any privately owned property, or a majority of the owners of
such properties within the district in the case of an historic
district, object to such inclusion or designation, such property
shall not be included on the National Register or designated as a
National Historic Landmark until such objection is withdrawn. The
Secretary shall review the nomination of the property or district
where any such objection has been made and shall determine whether
or not the property or district is eligible for such inclusion or
designation, and if the Secretary determines that such property or
district is eligible for such inclusion or designation, he shall
inform the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the
appropriate State Historic Preservation Officer, the appropriate
chief elected local official and the owner or owners of such
property, of his determination. The regulations under this
paragraph shall include provisions to carry out the purposes of
this paragraph in the case of multiple ownership of a single
property.

artifacts, and associated records, subject to section 470h-2 of
