The federal government's policy is to work with other nations, states, tribes, and private groups to protect historic property while meeting society's needs. It leads national preservation efforts, cares for federally owned historic sites, and encourages preservation of privately owned ones. It also helps state, local, and tribal governments grow their own preservation programs.

It is the policy of the Federal Government, working together with other nations and in partnership with states, local governments, Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations, and private organizations and individuals, to: (1) use measures, including money and technical help, to foster conditions where modern society and historic property can exist together productively, meeting the needs of people now and in the future; (2) lead the preservation of historic property in the United States and around the world, and administer the national preservation program; (3) manage historic property that the federal government owns, runs, or controls in a spirit of careful stewardship, for the benefit of people now and in the future; (4) help preserve historic property that is not federally owned, and strongly encourage organizations and individuals who preserve property using their own private means; (5) encourage public and private preservation and use of all the usable parts of the nation's historic built environment; and (6) help state and local governments, Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations, and the National Trust expand and speed up their own historic preservation programs and activities.
