The creation and development of our representative government from Revolution through Independence and to the present is a remarkable story that is best commemorated through local observance. The Bicentennial Community Program enables citizens of large cities and small towns alike to participate in this recognition of American history. We sincerely urge you to join this program by completing the enclosed application. REGULATIONS ON DESIGNATING BICENTENNIAL COMMUNITIES The Commission encourages local governing bodies to establish Bicentennial Communities. The term "community" includes all political subdivisions having an elected government, such as a city, county, town, village, municipality, township, borough, any Native American tribe or reservation, or any combination thereof. Unincorporated areas which have an established identity of their own also may apply for designation. A Designated Bicentennial Community is one which (1) has established a Bicentennial Committee broadly representative of the Community; (2) has developed and approved plans for a commemorative program that will educate its residents about the meaning and significance of the Constitution; and, (3) has received an official designation from the federal Commission. To be considered a Designated Bicentennial Community, a community should submit a completed application form to its State Bicentennial Commission. Upon approval by the State Commission, the application with the State Commission's approval noted will be sent to the federal Commission for its review and decision. Notification of approval as a Designated Bicentennial Community then will be forwarded to the local Bicentennial group by the federal Commission.
