Submitting Projects

The Submit screen provides options for you to do the following:

•Submit a new project to SHPD

•Send additional unrequested information for an existing project

In the top navigation bar, click Submit (between Home and Search) to open the Submit screen, as shown below.

The main menu options are presented as tiles with images. These correspond to specific project types:

•Project Review: The most common type of project reviewed by SHPD. If your project requires formal comments, you must submit it through HICRIS. This includes projects that are being reviewed under Hawaii Revise Statute Chapter 6E or National Historic Preservation Act Section 106.

•National Register/Hawaii Register Nomination: This form allows you to submit a building, structure, district, or other cultural resource for SHPD to consider for nomination to the Hawaii Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places.

•Federal Tax Credit: The SHPD review of a Federal Preservation Tax Credit can be initiated by submitting this form. 

•State Tax Credit: The SHPD review of a Hawaii State Preservation Tax Credit can be initiated by submitting this form.

•Burial Registration: This screen provides instructions for registering a burial.

•Descendancy Application: This screen provides instructions for submitting a Descendancy Application.

•Determination Eligibility Request: Requests for evaluation of eligibility allow you to submit a building, structure, or other built resource to SHPD and request SHPD’s evaluation of the resource’s eligibility for the Hawaii Register and National Register of Historic Places. This project type does not result in the nomination of the resource for listing on the Hawaii or National Register, though an eligibility evaluation can be a preliminary step before proceeding with a Hawaii or National Register Nomination.

•Independent Survey: These projects comprise surveys that are not conducted as part of a Project Review.

•Inventory Form: This option allows you to submit information about a Resource without the need to create a full survey or project record. SHPD will review the information and upon approval, SHPD will add it to the records in the SIHP.

•Project Supplement: You may use this screen to submit photographs or attachments for a project that is already under SHPD review. These files will go to SHPD’s processing queue and will eventually be added to the project as a subsequent submission. If SHPD has issued an information request in response to a previous submission, you must fulfill the request on the SHPD Response page, rather than through the Project Supplement screen; the Project Supplement screen allows you to submit information without a request from SHPD.
