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.
