Abstract

The designation of cultural properties in the United States of America differs among the various levels of government – national, state, and local – because of the federal legal system. While the approach of the National Historic Preservation Act serves as a framework, state and local laws enable a varied and flexible approach based on local priorities while remaining compatible with the federal system.
