Federal Historic Preservation Fund FY 2020 budget
Congress passed a continuing resolution to keep the government open through November 21,
2019. The Department of the Interior FY 2020 budget, that includes the Federal Historic
i
Preservaton Fund programs, is one that is unresolved. The full Senate needs to vote on its
budget for the department. For HPF programs(including state programs, i.e. the Alaska Office
of History and Archaeology),the Senate Appropriations Committee recommended$113.16
million, a$10.5 million increase over FY 2019 but less than the House of Representatives has
approved for FY 2020. The House budget has$121.6 million for HPF programs for FY
2020. After the Senate vote, a joint conference committee will consider the two budgets and
determine the final HPF programs budget.
