DIRECTOR 307 WEST 2ND SOUTH SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84101 TELEPHONE 801 1533-5755 D=ar School Board: The Wbodward School and washington Elementary School will be considered by the State Review Board for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register is the Federal Government's official list of historic buildings and other cultural resources worthy of preservation. Enclosed is a cop{ of the criteria under which prop;:rties are evaluated. Listing in the National Register makes private property owners eligible to be considered for Federal grants-in-aid for historic preservation and provides limited protection through comments by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation on the effect of federally financed, assisted, or licensed undertakings on historic properties. If the prop;:rty is depreciable and is listed in the National Register, there a r e also certain provisions of the 'lax Reform Act of 1976 that may apply. Section 2124 of the Tax Reform .Act of 1976 encourages preservation of historic depreciable structures by allONing favorable tax treatments for rehabilitations. In addition, it discourages cestruction of histor ic buildings by eliminating certain otherwise available Federal tax benefits both for denolition of histor ic structures and for nev construction on the site of demolished historic buildings. If the proferty contains coal resources and is listed in the National Register, certain provisions of the Surface Mining and Control Act of 1977 make it less likely that surface mining of the coal will be p;:rmitted by the State or Federal Government.
