decision by the Secretary of the Interior on the Board's recommendations. This announcement provides notification of the Board's upcoming review of the study of the Old Salem Historic District.
The National Historic Landmarks Committee of the National Park System Advisory Board will evaluate this property at a meeting to be held Monday and Tuesday, May 9-10,2016, beginning at 10
am. on May 9,2016, and continuing at 9:30 am. on May 10, in the Richard L. Hurl but Memorial Hall, 3rd Floor, Charles Sumner School Museum and Archives, 1201 17th Street NW, Washington,

System Advisory Board at their subsequent meeting, and will recommend to the full Board those properties that the Committee finds meet the criteria of the National Historic Landmarks Program.
Facilities to accommodate the public at these meetings are limited and time limits will need to be placed on any public comment to be offered. Anyone who wishes to be present, either as a speaker
or as an interested observer, must accordingly make arrangements in advance with the staff of the National Historic Landmarks Program at the mailing or e-mail address specified below.
Interested parties have 60 days from the date of this notice to submit their views in writing, if they so desire. Comments and recommendations on the study are invited and will be submitted to the
National Historic Landmarks Committee. Those comments, along with the nomination study and a report of the findings of the National Historic Landmarks Committee, will be presented to the full
Advisory Board for review at a subsequent meeting. Comments already received will be part of the official record. The Board will, at that time, make recommendations to the Secretary of the Interior
for his decision about the revised boundary and updated documentation.
EFFECTS OF NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION
Under Federal law and regulations, National Historic'Landmark designation does not change the legal right of a private property owner to take any action with respect to a Landmark property that
may otherwise legally be taken. It does not require that the owner of property within a Landmark provide public access to that property. It also does not indicate an interest in acquisition of the
property by the National Park Service.
Properties designated as National Historic Landmarks are listed in the National Register upon their designation, if they have not already been so listed. The National Register is the nationwide
inventory of historic and prehistoric properties in public and private hands. The Register lists properties of state, local, and national significance. National Historic Landmarks possess national sig
nificance, and are designated by the Secretary of the Interior.
The National Register was designed to be and is administered as a planning tool. Federal agencies undertaking a project having an effect on a listed or eligible property must provide the Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The Advisory Council has adopted pro
cedures concerning, inter alia, their commenting responsibility in 36 CFR Part 800.
If a property is listed in the National Register, certain special Federal income tax provisions may apply. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 revises the historic preservation tax incentives authorized by
Congress in the Tax Reform Act of 1976, the Tax Recovery Act of 1978, the Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980, the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, and the Tax Reform Act of 1984, and as
of January 1,1987, provides for a 20 percent investment tax credit with a full adjustment to basis for rehabilitating historic commercial, industrial, and rental residential buildings. The Tax Treatment
Extension Act of 1980 provides Federal tax deductions for charitable contributions or for conservation purposes of partial interests in historically important land areas or structures.
The following additional provisions of law apply only to Landmark properties:
Section 110(f) of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 USC 470 et seq.), requiring that a Federal agency take certain steps should it be involved in an undertaking that may
directly and adversely affect a National Historic Landmark, and afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment on such undertaking. The Advisory Council has
adopted regulations governing this review process in 36 CFR Part 800.
Section 9 of the Mining in the National Parks Act of 1976 (90 Stat. 1342,16 USC 1980), which directs the Secretary of the Interior'to submit to the Advisory Council a report on any surface mining
activity which the Secretary has determined may destroy a National Historic Landmark in whole or in part, and to request the Advisory Council's advice on alternative measures to mitigate or abate
such activity.

PROCEDURES FOR NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION
Private owners may concur in or object to designation of properties nominated for National Historic Landmark status. Interested parties have 60 days to submit their views in writing, if they so desire.
Should a majority of private owners of a nominated property with multiple owners object by notarized statements to National Historic Landmark designation of that property, the Secretary may not
designate the property. In that case, the Secretary reviews the nomination and makes a determination on the boundary change and updated documentation.
