Technical Preservation Services is pleased to announce the launch of our expanded and redesigned website at www.nps.gov/tps. In the new site, you will find the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines; information about the historic preservation tax incentives; all of our
publications, including the Preservation Briefs and Tech Notes; guidance on meeting the Standards in rehabilitation projects; information on the
Historic Surplus Property Program and the Historic Preservation Internship Training program; online training; and much more. Big-D Construction's rehab of the Fuller Paint Warehouse is one of the featured sites that rotates on the home page.
The new site features expanded information on Sustainability and Historic Preservation, including the recently-published Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation & Illustrated Guidelines on Sustainability for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. Also included are links to research and studies on energy efficiency and historic buildings and to sustainability resources for home owners, historic districts and communities and Federal agencies.
Case studies highlighting successful tax incentives projects and projects that combined historic rehabilitation and green building practices rotate
on the home page and in several sections of the site. A Site Map has been added, at www.nps.gov/about/site-map.htm, to help users navigate the site.
We will continue to add new information and features, particularly in the Sustainability section. We hope you will explore the new site and visit
often.
In addition, the fillable PDF version of the Historic Preservation Certification Application, revised 2011, is now available. Copies of the
forms are attached and are also available on our website at www.nps.gov/tps/tax-incentives/application.htm. Please distribute them
widely to your tax program contacts.
Applicants will be able to type directly into the forms and save the information. Please note that the narrative boxes on the Part 1, Part 2,
and amendment forms are limited, not expandable. Applicants and consultants who have developed their own versions of the narrative pages beyond the cover sheets may continue to use their versions.
