 There are only three entities who can officially nominate properties to the National Register of Historic Places. Federal preservation officers may nominate federal properties within their agency's jurisdiction. Tribal historic preservation officers can nominate properties within their tribe's jurisdiction. All other nominations go through a state historic preservation officer. Every state has a state historic preservation officer. Every state has a state historic preservation office with staff related to the federal preservation programs as well as state programs that are unique to each state. Any nomination for private property is going to go through a state historic preservation office. Each state has one or more people who serve in the capacity of National Register Coordinator. They may have a different title in each state, but that person's job is to assist the public in identifying historic properties and nominating properties to the National Register. Each state is mandated to have a governor-appointed state historic preservation review board who reviews each nomination that comes through their state and recommends to the state historic preservation officer whether to nominate the property, to forward it to the keeper of the National Register.
