clause text

Eligible Sites: Eligible battlefields: (1) have been assigned a battlefield or "survey" code in the Survey Reports; (2) are located on American soil, or within the boundaries of the United States; and (3) located outside the exterior boundaries of a unit of the National Park System. Eligible acquisitions should lie at least 50% within the battlefield boundaries of sites identified in the Survey Reports. Battlefield boundary maps are available free of charge through the NPS ABPP website at the NPS DataStore: (https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Collection/Profile/7874). If the property to be acquired overlaps the battlefield boundary, a majority (more than 50%) of the property must be within the boundary of an eligible battlefield for the application to be eligible for funding. Boundaries for most eligible battlefields are defined by NPS spatial data accompanying the Survey Reports. Applications for eligible sites without survey-defined boundaries, including sites identified as "Needing Further Study" in NPS ABPP"s Report to Congress on the Historic Preservation of Revolutionary War and War of 1812 Sites in the United States (2007), must select defensible boundaries for the site according to guidelines provided in National Register Bulletin No. 40: Guidelines for Identifying, Evaluating and Registering America"s Historic Battlefields and/or National Register Bulletin No. 21: Defining Boundaries for National Register Properties. There are no limits to the number of applications an applicant may submit. Applications for renewal or supplementation of existing projects are eligible to compete with applications for new Federal awards
