2023 NRAC Meeting Schedule.pdf

North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) staff log and review National Register nomination submissions expeditiously as possible, generally in the order received. After the property has been placed on the North Carolina National Register Study List, a first draft nomination (along with the first draft submission checklist) can be submitted. The National Register listing process takes at least one year from initial application to approval by the National Park Service (NPS), depending on the volume of pending nominations, complexity of the nominated property and length of time the author requires to complete edits. When a nomination is up for review, HPO staff work closely with the applicant and nomination preparer to provide detailed professional feedback, creating optimal likelihood for approval by the North Carolina National Register Advisory Committee (NRAC) and NPS upon first submission.

Factors that may affect the nomination review schedule and placement on the NRAC agenda are a heavy influx of draft nominations (including drafts of federal grant-funded nominations that must be reviewed according to contract schedules), receipt of drafts completed without the assistance of a professional preparer, receipt of drafts for several large historic districts, or the need to review multiple intermediate drafts. Final-draft deadlines directly determine the NRAC meeting at which a nomination can be presented. These deadlines account for legal notification timelines required by federal regulation prior to NRAC’s consideration of the nomination. Meeting the deadline stated below does not guarantee that the nomination will be ready for review by the time of the targeted meeting. A final draft submission is one that the HPO has determined is complete and correct after substantive review using the final draft submission checklist.
