3-154a (Part I - Certification) and 3-154b 

(Part II - Summary of Hunting and Sport 

Fishing Licenses Issued) to certify the 

number and amount of hunting and 

fishing license sales. We use the 

information collected to apportion and 

distribute funds according to the

The FEIS analyzes and discloses to 

the public direct, indirect, and 

cumulative environmental impacts of 

issuing four Federal coal leases in the 

Wyoming portion of the Powder River 

Basin. A copy of the FEIS has been sent 

to affected Federal, State, and local 

government agencies; persons and 

entities identified as potentially being 

affected by a decision to lease the 

Federal coal in each of the tracts; and 

persons who indicated to the BLM that 

they wished to receive a copy of the 

FEIS. 

The Wyoming DEQ, the Office of 

Surface Mining Reclamation and 

Enforcement, and the Wyoming 

Department of Transportation are 

cooperating agencies in the preparation 

of the FEIS. 

On March 29, 2007, the BLM 

published a Notice of Intent (NOI) to 

prepare an EIS for the South Gillette 

Area coal lease applications in the 

Federal Register. A notice announcing 

the availability of the Draft EIS was 

published in the Federal Register by the 

EPA on October 24, 2008. A 60-day 

comment period on the Draft EIS 

commenced with publication of the 

EPA’s notice of availability and ended 

on December 24, 2008. The BLM 

published a Notice of Availability and 

Notice of Public Hearing in the Federal 

Register on October 17, 2008. The 

BLM’s Federal Register notice 

announced the date and time of a public 

hearing, which was held on November 

19, 2008, in Gillette, Wyoming. The 

purpose of the hearing was to solicit 

comments on the DEIS, on the fair 

market value, and on the maximum 

economic recovery of the Federal coal. 

During the DEIS comment period, the 

BLM received 18 written comments, 

which are included, with agency 

responses, in an appendix to the FEIS.

The FEIS analyzes leasing all of the 

South Gillette Area coal tracts as a 

separate Proposed Action. Under the 

Proposed Action, a competitive sale 

would be held and a lease issued for 

Federal coal contained in the tracts as 

applied for by each of the applicants. As 

part of the coal leasing process, the BLM 

is evaluating adding or subtracting 

Federal coal to the tracts to avoid 

bypassing coal or to prompt competitive 

interest in unleased Federal coal in this 

area. The alternate tract configurations 

for each of the LBAs that BLM is 

evaluating are described and analyzed 

as separate alternatives in the FEIS. 

Under these alternatives, competitive 

sales would be held and leases issued 

for Federal coal lands included in tracts 

modified by the BLM. The FEIS also 

analyzes the alternative of rejecting the 

application(s) to lease Federal coal as 

the No Action Alternative. The 

Proposed Actions and alternatives for 

each of the LBAs being considered in 

the FEIS are in conformance with the 

Approved Resource Management Plan 

for Public Lands Administered by the 

Bureau of Land Management Buffalo 

Field Office (2001). A Record of 

Decision (ROD) will be prepared after 

the close of the 30-day review period for 

the FEIS. Comments received on the 

FEIS will be considered during 

preparation of the ROD. 

Requests to be included on the 

mailing list for this project and to 

request copies of the FEIS may be sent 

in writing, by facsimile, or 

electronically to the addresses 

previously stated at the beginning of 

this notice. The BLM asks that those 

submitting comments on the FEIS make 

them as specific as possible with 

reference to page numbers and chapters 

of the document. Comments that 

contain only opinions or preferences 

will not receive a formal response; 

however, they will be considered as part 

of the BLM decision-making process. 

Please note that comments and 

information submitted including names, 

street addresses, and e-mail addresses of 

respondents will be available for public 

review and disclosure at the above 

address during regular business hours 

(7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), Monday

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Museum of Anthropology, University 

of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains in the possession of the 

Museum of Anthropology, University of 

Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI. The human 

remains were removed from the 

Wequetonsing area near Harbor Springs, 

Emmet County, MI. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Museum of 

Anthropology professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa 

Indians, Michigan. 

In 1924, a collection containing 

human remains and a variety of 

archeological materials collected from 

around Michigan and North America 

was purchased by the University of 

Michigan from Rev. L.P. Rowland of 

Detroit, MI. The human remains and 

many of the artifacts were recovered 

from the Lake Michigan shore area in 

Emmet County, MI. A substantial 

portion of this collection, including one 

set of human remains (Accession #206) 

and cultural items were determined to 

be culturally affiliated with the Little 

Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, 

Michigan. The individual and cultural 

items were described in a Notice 

published in the Federal Register (62 

FR 8265–8266, February 24, 1997), and 

were subsequently repatriated later that 

same year. At that time it was 

determined that two comingled sets of 

human remains that were part of the 

same accession were not Native 

American. The human remains are of an 

adult and a second, younger adult 

individual. Since that time, based on 

skeletal and dental morphology, the 

older individual has been identified as 

being of mixed European and Native 

American ancestry. There is insufficient 

evidence to positively determine the 

biological affiliation of the younger 

individual, but they may also be of 

mixed European and Native American 

ancestry. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Accession and other collections 

information suggests that the human 

remains were recovered from the 

Wequetonsing area near Harbor Springs, 

MI. Rev. Rowland’s catalog indicates 

that glass beads were found with the 

human remains. Based on the 

observation of glass trade beads, the 

human remains most likely date to the 

post-contact era in northern Michigan 

(circa A.D. 1600–1800). 

Based on historical documents and 

consultation with the Little Traverse 

Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan, 

the Odawa occupied the Wequetonsing 

area throughout much of the historic 

era. The Wequetonsing area is within 

the area granted to the Odawa for 

settlement in treaties signed in 1836 and 

1855, and is within the current 

reservation boundary of the Little 

Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, 

Michigan. While historic sources also 

mention the presence of Potawatomi, 

Mascouten, and Ojibwa in the general 

area, the Odawa are the predominant 

group associated with the Wequetonsing 

and Harbor Springs locality. 

While the biological ancestry of the 

two individuals may be mixed, based on 

the burial treatment of the individual, 

appearance of grave features as 

described by Rev. Rowland, and 

consultation with tribal representatives, 

officials of the Museum of Anthropology 

reasonably believe the human remains 

have a Native American cultural 

identity. Based on the observation of 

glass beads, the interments likely date to 

the historic era. Given the location of 

the interments, they are most likely 

culturally affiliated with the Little 

Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, 

Michigan. 

Officials of the Museum of 

Anthropology, University of Michigan 

have determined that, pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of two individuals of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the 

Museum of Anthropology, University of 

Michigan also have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is
