Analysis of the Issues Secretary of the Interior’s Standards The proposed project, as conditioned, will generally conform to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (“SOIS”) for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, & Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Kay D.
