Requires that if the property is listed, or is eligible to be listed, on the National Register of Historic Places, the Washington Heritage Register, or a local historic register, the leasing agency must consult with the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation and all work performed on the property must comply with the Department of Interior standards for rehabilitation of historic properties.
