2017. The Historic Preservation Fund Annual Report: 2016. Historic Preservation Fund Annual Report. National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, State, Tribal, Local, Plans & Grants Division. Washington, DC

Annual report published by the State, Tribal, Local, Plans and Grants Division of the National Park Service. Report describes Historic Preservation Fund grant appropriations, program and project updates, and select accomplishments from the 2016 fiscal year. From report: "The Historic Preservation Fund is administered on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior by the National Park Service (NPS). Funded by Outer Continental Shelf oil lease revenues, not tax dollars, the exploitation of one resource is to benefit another, our irreplaceable shared heritage. Authorized at $150 million annually, the HPF has yet to receive a full appropriation, averaging less than $50 million per year despite inflation and increased participation and successes. Preservation projects funded by the HPF include: survey and inventory, National Register nominations, preservation education, technical assistance, preservation planning, and physical preservation of historic buildings. The HPF allows the flexibility to shape a program according to the State, Tribe, or local governments’ needs, as long as they are meeting the overall responsibilities outlined by the NHPA. All States also provide a minimum 40% non-federal match, further leveraging federal investment."
