Summary

Amends the National Historic Preservation Act to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to administer grants to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States, consistent with the purposes of its charter and such Act. (Current law requires the Secretary to administer a program of matching-grants-in aid to the Trust.) Specifies the areas of the U.S. Capitol and its related buildings and grounds that are exempt from the program for preservation of historical properties under the Act. Reauthorizes the Historic Preservation fund through FY 2005. Modifies the responsibilities of Federal agencies with respect to acquiring, constructing, or leasing buildings to require them: (1) when operationally appropriate and economically prudent, to give first consideration to historic properties within historic districts, and if not, to consider other developed or undeveloped sites within historic districts; or (2) to consider historic properties outside of historic districts, if no suitable site within a district exists. Requires any rehabilitation or construction that is undertaken to be architecturally compatible with the character of the surrounding historic district or properties. Authorizes appropriations through FY 2005.
