36 CFR Ch. I (7–1–98 Edition)§ 61.8 all eligible local governments have the opportunity to apply for funding.

(m) States shall be responsible for re-viewing requests from CLG subgrantees for grant amendments as required by OMB Circular A–87, and for issuing ap-proval or denial of such requests. If any action by a CLG will result in a change in the overall grant project or budget requiring NPS approval, the State shall obtain such approval prior to granting approval to the CLG sub-grantee. A State shall not forward to NPS any action which is inconsistent with the purpose or terms of the grant.

CLG subgrantee requests for revisions to the grant are invalid unless they are in writing and signed by an authorized official of the State grantee.

(n) State performance in transferring funds to CLGs shall be reviewed by the Secretary during performance evalua-tions and audits of State programs as required by Sec. 101(b)(2) of the Na-tional Historic Preservation Act, as amended.

(o) States may submit grant amend-ment requests to NPS to reallocate monies set aside for local governments in instances where no certified govern-ments exist, wish to receive funds, or are qualified to receive funds. Such re-quests will be considered grant re-programming actions and shall be sub-mitted to NPS not less than one cal-endar year after the beginning of the fiscal year of the State’s HPF appro-priation. All such requests shall clearly document the State’s attempts to en-courage and assist local governments in developing local historic preserva-tion programs pursuant to § 61.5 of these regulations, in being certified, and in applying for funding.

(p) The District of Columbia shall be exempted from the requirements of § 61.7 because there are no subordinate local governments in the District. If a territory believes that its political sub-divisions lack authorities similar to those of local governments in other States and hence cannot satisfy the re-quirements for local certification, it may apply to the Secretary for exemp-tion from the requirements of § 61.7.

(q) Where there is no approved State program, the method for allocating funds will be determined by the Sec-retary in accordance with the proce-dures set forth for States in this sec-tion. To the extent feasible, there should be consistency and continuity in funding allocation policy of the CLG program of a State that does not have an approved historic preservation pro-gram. Therefore, if a now disapproved State program had an approved alloca-tion process, the Secretary will con-sider it in the review of any application for funding from CLGs within that State.

[49 FR 14899, Apr. 13, 1984, as amended at 50 FR 35225, Aug. 30, 1985]

§ 61.8 Waiver.

The Secretary may waive any of the requirements of these rules which are not mandated by statute or by govern-ment-wide regulations, if, in his/her opinion, as expressed in writing to the State, the State historic preservation program would benefit from such waiv-er, and the purposes, conditions, and requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended, would not be compromised.

§ 61.9 Information collection require-ments.

The information collection require-ments contained in this part have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3507, et seq., and assigned clearance number 1024– 0038. The information is being collected as part of the process of reviewing the procedures and programs of State and local governments participating in the National historic preservation pro-gram. The information will be used to evaluate those procedures and pro-grams. The obligation to respond is re-quired to obtain a benefit.

§ 62.1 Purpose.

The purpose of these procedures is to set forth the processes and criteria used to identify, study, designate, rec-ognize, and monitor national natural landmarks. The purpose of the natural landmarks program is to identify and encourage the preservation of nation-ally significant examples of the full range of ecological and geological fea-tures that constitute the nation’s natu-ral heritage.

§ 62.2 Definitions.

National Natural Landmark means an area of national significance located within the boundaries of the United States or on the Outer Continental Shelf designated by the Secretary of the Interior that contains an outstand-ing representative example(s) of the nation’s natural heritage, including terrestrial communities, equatic com-munities, landforms, geological fea-tures, habitats of native plant and ani-mal species, or fossil evidence of the development of life on earth.

National Registry of Natural Land-marks means the official listing of all national natural landmarks.

National Significance denotes a site which exemplifies one of a natural re-gion’s characteristic biotic or geologic features which has been evaluated, using Department of Interior stand-ards, as one of the best examples of that feature known.

Natural Region means a distinct geo-graphic province having similar geo-logic history, structures, and landforms. The basic physiographic characteristics of a natural region in-fluence its vegetation, climate, soils, and animal life. The 33 natural regions of the United States, Puerto Rico, Vir-gin Islands, and Pacific Trust Terri-tories used in the natural landmarks program are based largely on Fenneman’s ‘‘Physiographic Divisions of the United States’’ (1928). Examples include the Atlantic Coastal Plain, Great Basin, and Brooks Range natural regions.

Owner means the individual(s) or or-ganization(s) of record that own pri-vate land, or the head of the public agency, or subordinate employee of the public agency to whom such authority has been delegated, responsible for ad-ministering public land.

Secretary means the Secretary of the Interior or the designee authorized to
