used to replace a deteriorated or missing historic feature, consistent with the Standards, as well as technical preservation information about materials commonly considered for use as a substitute material in the context of a historic rehabilitation project.

it continues to reflect current and best practices. The revised information takes into account such factors as availability, performance, location/visibility, code requirements, cost, and resilience of the proposed new and historic materials or features. The
information continues to recognize that flexibility may be needed when it comes to new and replacement materials as part of a historic rehabilitation project.
