PA-SHARE Program; Proposed Fee Structure

[50 Pa.B. 1000]
[Saturday, February 15, 2020]

Introduction

 The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is developing PA-SHARE as a new consultation, communication and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tool to streamline the delivery of National Register, Environmental Review and Historical Marker programs. PA-SHARE is an update of the Cultural Resources Geographic Information System that has been hosted by the SHPO for 20+ years and is currently under development with an anticipated launch date of June 2020. The development of the system is being funded through the agreements that were required by Federal agencies granting permission to the Shell petrochemical project in Beaver County. The ongoing staff administration, system maintenance and improvements, however, will need to be supported through revenue generated by PA-SHARE subscriptions.

 PA-SHARE will streamline SHPO operations and promote public accessibility. SHPO's users and partners will be able to access a wide range of historical data remotely through the service rather than make an appointment to view paper files in Harrisburg. Moreover, a completely electronic system will reduce paper process and application review time. Most applicants and users will be able to access all application functionality and most GIS cultural data for free, but enhanced data access and user dashboards will be available through the subscriptions.

 The following is the breakdown of the proposed PA-SHARE Fee Structure:
