The Council can partner with federal agencies to make their grant programs support historic preservation goals. It can also review these programs and recommend improvements to agency heads. It can even recommend funding levels to the President and Congress.
(a) Cooperative Agreements. The Council* may sign a cooperative agreement with any federal agency* that runs a grant or assistance program. The goal is to help that program better support this division's purposes. The agreement can change how the agency picks grant recipients, or let the Council help pick them. But this only works if it doesn't conflict with the program's own legal authority and purpose.
(b) Review of Grant and Assistance Programs. The Council may do three things. First, it can review any federal grant or assistance program to see how well it supports this division's purposes. Second, it can recommend ways for an agency to make its program more consistent with those purposes, and more effective. Third, it can recommend to the President and Congress how effective these grant and assistance programs are, including recommendations about how much money they should get.
The Council* may enter into a cooperative agreement with any Federal agency* that administers a grant or assistance program for the purpose of improving the effectiveness of the administration of the program in meeting the purposes and policies of this division. The cooperative agreement may include provisions that modify the selection criteria for a grant or assistance program to further the purposes of this division or that allow the Council to participate in the selection of recipients, if those provisions are not inconsistent with the grant or assistance program’s statutory authorization and purpose.
The Council may—
review the operation of any Federal grant or assistance program to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in meeting the purposes and policies of this division;
make recommendations to the head of any Federal agency that administers the program to further the consistency of the program with the purposes and policies of this division and to improve its effectiveness in carrying out those purposes and policies; and
make recommendations to the President and Congress regarding the effectiveness of Federal grant and assistance programs in meeting the purposes and policies of this division, including recommendations with regard to appropriate funding levels.
