DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Choctaw Creek National Wildlife 

Refuge 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of the 

Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan 

and Finding of No Significant Impact for 

Choctaw National Wildlife Refuge in 

Choctaw County, Alabama. 

SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service 

announces that a Final Comprehensive 

Conservation Plan and Finding of No 

Significant Impact for Choctaw National 

Wildlife Refuge are available for 

distribution. The plan was prepared 

pursuant to the National Wildlife Refuge 

System Improvement Act of 1997, and 

in accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969. It 

describes how the refuge will be 

managed for the next 15 years. 

ADDRESSES: A copy of the plan may be 

obtained by contacting Robbie Dailey, 

Refuge Manager, Choctaw National 

Wildlife Refuge, P.O. Box 808, Jackson, 

Alabama 36545; telephone: 251/246–

3583; fax: 251/246–5414. The plan may 

also be accessed and downloaded from 

the Service’s Web site http:// 

southeast.fws.gov/planning/. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

availability of the draft comprehensive 

conservation plan and environmental 

assessment for a 45-day review period 

was announced in the Federal Register 

on January 24, 2006 (71 FR 3878). The 

Service analyzed four alternatives for 

managing the refuge and selected 

alternative D as the preferred 

alternative. This alternative will 

promote greater protection for the 

refuge’s fish, wildlife, and habitats and 

will emphasize wildlife-dependent 

recreational opportunities for visitors. 

Hunting and fishing will continue with 

greater emphasis on increasing 

opportunities and enhancing the quality 

of the experience. Education and 

interpretation will be promoted with 

regular programs and partnerships with 

local schools. Wildlife observation and 

photography opportunities will be 

expanded, including a trans-refuge 

birding trail and an observation tower, 

highlighting refuge management 

programs and unique wildlife habitats. 

Research studies on the refuge will be 

fostered and partnerships developed 

with other agencies and universities, 

providing needed resources and 

experiment sites while meeting the 

needs of the refuge’s wildlife and 

habitat management programs. Research 

will also benefit conservation efforts 

throughout southwest alabama to 

conserve, enhance, restore, and manage 

native habitat. New surveys on birds, 

reptiles, and amphibians will be 

initiated to develop baseline 

information. 

Additional staff will include 

management and biological personnel. 

An assistant refuge manager and a 

wildlife biologist will be added to 

accomplish objectives for establishing

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 168 / Wednesday, August 30, 2006 / Notices 51633 

baseline data on refuge resources, 

managing habitats, providing 

opportunities and facilities for wildlife 

observation and photography, providing 

educational programs that promote a 

greater understanding of the refuge 

resources, and protecting natural and 

cultural resources and refuge visitors. 

Public comments were requested, 

considered, and incorporated 

throughout the planning process in 

numerous ways. Public outreach 

included an open house, public 

meeting, technical workgroups, 

planning update mailings, and Federal 

Register notices. During the draft 

comprehensive conservation plan/ 

environmental assessment comment 

period, the Service received several 

comments, which were incorporated, 

when appropriate, and responded to in 

the final comprehensive conservation 

plan. 

Authority: This notice is published under 

the authority of the National Wildlife Refuge 

System Improvement Act of 1997, Public 

Law 105–57.

BILLING CODE 4310–55–M 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

American Museum of Natural History, 

New York, NY 

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 

American Museum of Natural History, 

New York, NY. The human remains 

were collected from Grays Harbor 

County, WA. 

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 the American 

Museum of Natural History professional 

staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Quinault Tribe of 

the Quinault Reservation, Washington. 

In 1899, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

collected by Harlan I. Smith from the 

surface, one-half mile beyond the 

Copalis River, Grays Harbor County, 

WA, and were acquired by the 

American Museum of Natural History 

the same year. No known individual 

was identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

The individual has been identified as 

Native American based on the presence 

of cranial deformation. Museum 

documentation identifies the human 

remains as ‘‘probably recent.’’

Geographic location is consistent with 

the postcontact territory of the Copalis 

band of the Quinault Tribe of the 

Quinault Reservation, Washington. 

In 1899, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

collected by Harlan I. Smith from north 

of the mouth of the Copalis River in 

Grays Harbor County, WA, and were 

acquired by the American Museum of 

Natural History the same year. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The individual has been identified as 

Native American based on the type of 

burial and the presence of cranial 

deformation. The human remains were 

found on the surface, under cedar 

boards that presumably formed a grave 

house. Based on the presence of 

preserved wood, the human remains 

appear to be postcontact in age. Burial 

in a grave house is consistent with 

postcontact Quinault burial practices. 

Geographic location is consistent with 

the postcontact territory of the Copalis 

band of the Quinault Tribe of the 

Quinault Reservation, Washington. 

Officials of the American Museum of 

Natural History have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the 

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of a 

minimum of two individuals of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the 

American Museum of Natural History 

also have determined that, pursuant to 

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

relationship of shared group identity 

that can be reasonably traced between 

the Native American human remains 

and the Quinault Tribe of the Quinault 

Reservation, Washington. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Nell Murphy, Director of 

Cultural Resources, American Museum 

of Natural History, Central Park West at 

79th Street, New York, NY 10024–5192, 

telephone (212) 769–5837, before 

September 29, 2006. Repatriation of the 

human remains to the Quinault Tribe of 

the Quinault Reservation, Washington 

may proceed after that date if no 

additional claimants come forward. 

The American Museum of Natural 

History is responsible for notifying the 

Quinault Tribe of the Quinault 

Reservation, Washington that this notice 

has been published.
