The PA SHPO has recently updated its project review form. Please updated any downloaded or bookmarked forms.
You can find the new form on PHMC’s website here: https://www.phmc.pa.gov/Preservation/About/Documents/SHPO%20Project%20Review%20Form_Digital%20Submission.pdf
Updates include:
- The PA SHPO address was removed as we are longer accepting paper submissions
- Additional guidance on the requirement to submit the Project Review Form as a fillable pdf was added.
- The Attachments section was updated to reflect the requirement to submit an Abbreviated HRSF for those buildings directly affected by a project. The Abbreviated HRSF and accompanying instructions are available on the PHMC website at: https://www.phmc.pa.gov/Preservation/About/Documents/HRSF_Abbreviated_Fillable_Form.pdf and https://www.phmc.pa.gov/Preservation/About/Documents/HRSF-Abbreviated-Form-Guidance.pdf.
Reminders!
- All initial project submissions must be submitted via email to the PA SHPO’s Project Review resource account. Please continue to follow the process for emailing submissions outlined here:
https://pahistoricpreservation.com/shpo-environmental-review-continuity-operations/. - Initial project submissions must include two separate PDFs: one for the Project Review Form and one for the attachments.
- Applicants should only contact reviewers directly for existing projects after consultation has been initiated and a PA SHPO Environmental Review number assigned.
PA SHPO will return Project Review Forms that are submitted incorrectly or incomplete.
Please note:
This form and the email submission process will remain in place until PA-SHARE comes online early next year.
