National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act (NHLPA)

The National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000 (NHLPA) recognizes the cultural, recreational, and educational value associated with historic light stations. The Act allows federally-owned light stations included on, or eligible for inclusion on, the National Register of Historic Places that have been determined to be excess to the needs of their agencies to be transferred at no cost to federal agencies, state and local governments, and private entities.

The NHLPA is administered jointly by the National Park Service, U.S. Coast Guard, General Services Administration, and State Historic Preservation Officers.
