On January 25, 2024, the National Park Service (NPS) issued a request for comment on their Draft of Updated National Register Bulletin: Identifying, Evaluating, and Documenting Traditional Cultural Places (Draft TCP Bulletin). Comments are due to NPS by March 25. Click through the NPS link above for instructions on submitting comments to NPS.

Please find attached NATHPO's final draft comments. We hope you find these useful as you write and submit your own comments to NPS.

NATHPO regularly submits comment letters to federal agencies advocating on behalf of Tribal communities and their THPOs. You can find several of our most recent letters HERE, and if you know of an upcoming deadline and want NATHPO to consider submitting comment, please contact Melissa Madrigal at melissa@nathpo.org.
