Defense Infrastructure: Military Services Lack Reliable Data on Historic Properties
Abstract
The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 1 established a national program to provide for the ongoing identification and protection of historic properties. 2 Under the act, a historic property is one that is listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 3 required us to review historic properties within the Department of Defense (DOD). Accordingly, our objectives were to assess the services current and projected inventories of historic properties and the cost of maintaining and repairing these properties. For purposes of this review, we limited our assessment of historic properties to buildings and structures the predominant types of historic properties in the Department of Defense.
