Minerals Management Service 

States’ Decisions on Participating in 

Accounting and Auditing Relief for 

Federal Oil and Gas Marginal 

Properties 

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of states’ decisions to 

participate or not participate in 

accounting and auditing relief for 

Federal oil and gas marginal properties 

located in their state for calendar year 

2007. 

SUMMARY: The Minerals Management 

Service (MMS) published final 

regulations on September 13, 2004 (69 

FR 55076), codified at 30 CFR 204.200–

215, to provide accounting and auditing 

relief for marginal Federal oil and gas 

properties. The rule requires MMS to 

publish in the Federal Register the 

decisions of the States concerned to 

allow or not to allow one or both forms 

of relief in their State. As required in the 

rule, MMS provided states receiving a 

portion of the Federal royalties with a 

list of qualifying marginal Federal oil 

and gas properties located in their State 

so that each affected State could decide 

whether to participate in one or both 

relief options. This notice provides the 

decisions by the States concerned to 

allow one or both types of relief. 

DATES: Effective January 1, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Onshore Oil and Gas Compliance and 

Asset Management, telephone (303)

P.O. Box 25165, MS 392B2, Denver 

Federal Center, Denver, Colorado 

80225–0165. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The rule 

implemented certain provisions of 

Section 7 of the Federal Oil and Gas 

Royalty Simplification and Fairness Act 

of 1996 and provides two options for 

relief: (1) Notification-based relief for 

annual reporting, and (2) other 

requested relief, as proposed by 

industry and approved by MMS and the 

State concerned. The rule requires that 

MMS publish by December 1 of each 

year, a list of the States and their 

decisions regarding marginal property 

relief. 

To qualify for the first option of relief 

(notification-based relief) for calendar 

year 2007, properties must have 

produced less than 1,000 barrels-of-oilequivalent (BOE) per year for the base 

period (July 1, 2005–June 30, 2006). 

Annual reporting relief will begin on 

January 1, 2007, with the annual report 

and payment due February 29, 2008 

(unless an estimated payment is on file, 

which will move the due date to March 

31, 2008). To qualify for the second 

option of relief (other requested relief), 

properties must have produced less than 

15 BOE per well per day for the base 

period. 

The following table shows the States 

that have marginal properties, where a 

portion of the royalties are shared 

between the state and MMS, and the 

States’ decisions to allow one or both 

forms of relief.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Currently, 

there is limited cellular service in the 

Wahweap Resort area, which receives 

over 1,000,000 visitors per year. The 

cellular antennas are to be installed on 

the roof of the Rainbow Room 

Restaurant. The Rainbow Room 

Restaurant is a non-historic structure in 

the Lake Powell Resort developed area. 

The proposed site includes six 51 inch 

by 13 inch by 3 inch rectangular panel 

antennas mounted on the roof of the 

Rainbow Room Restaurant and nearby 

ground mounted associated radio 

equipment shielded by a cedar privacy 

fence matching existing fencing. The 

antennas will protrude approximately 

50 inches above the existing roof line. 

The antenna panels will be painted to 

match the Lake Powell Resort color 

scheme. Neither the antennas nor the 

associated equipment will have any 

adverse effects on the area’s scenery or 

visual resources. 

The staff at Glen Canyon National 

Recreation Area has completed a review 

and analysis pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

National Historic Preservation Act, the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996, and 

National Park Service requirements, 

policy and regulations. The NPS has 

categorically excluded this proposal 

from further analysis under NEPA, and 

has determined that there will not be 

any adverse effects or impairment to the 

park’s natural and cultural resources. 

Copies of the NPS analysis and NEPA 

documents are available at Glen Canyon 

NRA, 691 Scenic View Drive, Page, AZ

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 

Ethnology, Harvard University, 

Cambridge, MA; Correction 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice; correction. 

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003 (5), of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in the possession of the Peabody 

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, 

Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects were removed from 

Barnstable and Plymouth Counties, MA. 

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 and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the 

associated funerary objects was made by 

the Peabody Museum of Archaeology 

and Ethnology professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Wampanoag Repatriation Confederation, 

on behalf of the Wampanoag Tribe of 

Gay Head (Aquinnah) of Massachusetts, 

Assonet Band of the Wampanoag Nation 

(a non-federally recognized Indian 

group), and Mashpee Wampanoag 

Indian Tribe (a non-federally recognized 

Indian group). 

This notice corrects the number of 

associated funerary objects reported in a 

Notice of Inventory Completion 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 14, 2003, (FR Doc 03–20754, 

pages 48626–48634). In 2006, the 

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 

Ethnology identified one error in a 

collector’s name, identified one error in 

a collection date, and identified 

additional associated funerary objects 

from four sites in southeastern MA. The 

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 

Ethnology also changed the method 

used to quantify reported cultural items. 

In light of these findings, the original 

Notice of Inventory Completion is 

amended to decrease the calculated 

number from 127 to 113 associated 

funerary objects. Changes to the original 

inventories come as a result of the 

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 

Ethnology’s continuing inventory work. 

Although the method used to quantify 

objects has changed, the previously 

reported cultural items in this collection 

remain the same. 

In the Federal Register of August 14, 

2003, on page 48628, paragraph number 

7 is corrected by substituting the 

following paragraph: 

In 1887, human remains representing 

one individual were removed from 

Sandwich, Barnstable County, MA, by 

Lombard C. Jones. Dr. Jones donated the 

human remains to the Peabody Museum 

of Archaeology and Ethnology in 1908. 

No known individual was identified. 

The one associated funerary object is a 

nail with a wood fragment. 

In the Federal Register of August 14, 

2003, on page 48631, paragraph number 

7 is corrected by substituting the 

following paragraph: 

In 1867, human remains representing 

one individual from Nantasket Beach in 

Hull, Plymouth County, MA, were 

donated to the Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology by Jeffries 

Wyman. The human remains were 

collected by Mr. Wyman at an unknown 

date. No known individual was 

identified. The 17 associated funerary 

objects are 16 shell-tempered pottery 

sherds and 1 lot of ceramic body sherds. 

In the Federal Register of August 14, 

2003, at page 48631, paragraph number 

9 is corrected by substituting the 

following paragraph: 

In 1881, human remains representing 

six individuals were removed from the 

Patuxet Hotel site in Kingston, 

Plymouth County, MA, by L. H. Keith 

and were donated to the Peabody 

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology 

by Mr. Keith in the same year. No 

known individuals were identified. The 

18 associated funerary objects are 1 

container of human hair and cloth, 1 

container of cloth fragments, 1 container 

of iron nails, 1 container of wood 

fragments, 1 container of iron knife 

fragments, 1 metal spoon, 1 lot of textile 

and wood fragments with soil matrix, 2 

kaolin clay pipes, 3 pieces of lead, 1 

stone button mold, 3 lead buttons, and 

2 flint flakes. 

In the Federal Register of August 14, 

2003, on page 48632, paragraph number 

7 is corrected by substituting the 

following paragraph: 

In 1933, human remains representing 

one individual were removed from the 

Herring Weir area of Mattapoisett, 

Plymouth County, MA, and were 

donated to the Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology by 

Raymond H. Baxter. The human 

remains were discovered by men 

working in the area in 1932. No known
