<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is extending the date to accept public comments on proposed changes to rules governing how the state protects important historical places until
5 p.m. Sept. 14, 2020 based on a request from stakeholders.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The state is proposing updates to the Oregon Administrative Rules that govern how the state administers the federal National Register of Historic Places Program, which lists buildings, districts
and other sites important to local, state or national history. The Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) — an office of OPRD — administers the local program, which is run by the National Park Service.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">In Oregon, 2,065 properties — including 133 historic districts located across the state’s 36 counties and representing many aspects of our rich history — are now listed in the National Register.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">In the last several years, several high-profile, controversial nominations exposed problems with the National Register process, including determining owner consent and public involvement. Proposed
changes seek to establish a fair and transparent process in alignment with federal requirements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">OPRD will accept public comments on the proposed changes through 5 p.m. September 14, 2020. Comments can be made online, in writing or via email:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
