An official certificate signed by the Governor with the seal of lowa is enclosed. Appropriately, this certificate should stay with the historic property should the property ever change ownership. The National Register is the Federal Government's official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Listing in the National register provides recognition and assists in preserving our Nation's heritage. Save this documentation for your records. When applying for grants and tax credits, you will need to make a copy of this letter to provide with your applications. Keep these originals in your files and always make copies, as you need them. Listing in the National Register provides the following benefits to historic properties: • Consideration in the planning for Federal, federally licensed, and federally assisted projects. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires Federal agencies allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment on projects affecting historic properties listed in the National Register. For further information please refer to 36 CFR 800. • Eligibility for Federal tax benefits. If a property is listed in the National Register certain Federal tax provisions may apply. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 revises the historic preservation tax incentives authorized by Congress in the Tax Reform Act of 1976, the Revenue Act of 1978, the Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980, the Economic recovery Tax Act of 1981, and Tax Reform Act of 1984, and as of January 1, 1987, provides for a 20 percent investment tax credit with a full adjustment to basis for rehabilitating historic commercial, industrial, and rental residential buildings. The former 15 percent and 20 percent investment Tax Credits(ITCs)for rehabilitation of older commercial buildings are combined into a single 10 percent ITC for commercial or industrial buildings built before 1936. The Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 provides Federai tax deductions for charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial interests in historically important land areas or structures. For further information, please refer to 36 CFR 67 and Treasury Regulation Sections 1.48-12 (ITCs) and 1.170A-14 (charitable contributions). • Consideration of historic values in the decision to issue a surface coal mining permit where coal is located, in accord with the SurFace Mining and Control Act of 1977.
