SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all 

information collections require approval 

under the PRA. We may not conduct or 

sponsor, and you are not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we invite the public and other 

Federal agencies to comment on new, 

proposed, revised, and continuing 

collections of information. This helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand our 

information collection requirements and 

provide the requested data in the 

desired format. 

We are especially interested in public 

comment addressing the following: 

(1) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How the agency might minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to OMB to approve this ICR. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email address, or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Abstract: This OMB control number 

applies to the exploration, development, 

and utilization of oil shale resources on 

the BLM-managed public lands. 

Currently, the only oil shale leases 

issued by the BLM are research, 

development, and demonstration 

(RD&D) leases. However, the BLM 

regulations provide a framework for 

commercial oil shale leasing and 

additionally include provisions for 

conversion of RD&D leases to 

commercial leases. Section 369 of the 

Energy Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 15927) 

addresses oil shale development and 

authorizes the Secretary of the Interior 

to establish regulations for a commercial 

leasing program for oil shale. The 

Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 

241(a)) provides the authority for the 

BLM to allow for the exploration, 

development, and utilization of oil shale 

resources on the BLM-managed public 

lands. Additional statutory authorities 

for the oil shale program are: (1) The 

Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands 

of 1947 (30 U.S.C. 351–359); and (2) The 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act (FLPMA) of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et 

seq., including 43 U.S.C. 1732). OMB 

Control Number 1004–0201 is currently 

scheduled to expire on June 30, 2024. 

The BLM plans to request that OMB 

renew this OMB control number for an 

additional three (3) years. 

Title of Collection: Oil Shale 

Management (43 CFR parts 3900, 3910, 

3920, and 3930). 

OMB Control Number: 1004–0201. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Applicants for oil shale leases, oil shale 

lessees and oil shale operators. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 2. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 24. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: Varies from the number of 

minutes/hours per response. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,795. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: $526,667. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor and, notwithstanding any other 

provision of law, a person is not 

required to respond to a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

The authority for this action is the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

has a cultural affiliation with the Indian 

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations 

in this notice. The cultural item was

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA. The 

determinations in this notice are the 

sole responsibility of the David A. 

Fredrickson Archaeological Collections 

Facility at Sonoma State University. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

Additional information on the 

determinations in this notice, including 

the results of consultation, can be found 

in the summary or related records held 

by the David A. Fredrickson 

Archaeological Collections Facility at 

Sonoma State University. 

Description 

One cultural item (Accession Number 

91–29) was removed from archeological 

site CA–SUT–17 in Sutter County, CA, 

in 1991. The object of cultural 

patrimony is one lot consisting of flaked 

stone tools and debitage; faunal bone 

tools; groundstone objects; shell beads; 

and unmodified faunal bones and 

shells. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The cultural item in this notice is 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures and one or more 

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: anthropological, 

archeological, geographical, historical, 

and expert opinion in the form of Tribal 

Traditional Knowledge. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the David A. Fredrickson 

Archaeological Collections Facility at 

Sonoma State University has 

determined that: 

• The one cultural item described 

above has ongoing historical, 

traditional, or cultural importance 

central to the Native American group or 

culture itself, rather than property 

owned by an individual. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the cultural item and the 

United Auburn Indian Community of 

the Auburn Rancheria of California. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural items in this 

notice must be sent to the Responsible 

Official identified in ADDRESSES. 

Requests for repatriation may be 

submitted by any lineal descendant, 

Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

who shows, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, that the requestor is a lineal 

descendant or a culturally affiliated 

Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

Repatriation of the cultural items in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after October 12, 2023. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the David A. Fredrickson 

Archaeological Collections Facility at 

Sonoma State University must 

determine the most appropriate 

requestor prior to repatriation. Requests 

for joint repatriation of the cultural 

items are considered a single request 

and not competing requests. The David 

A. Fredrickson Archaeological 

Collections Facility at Sonoma State 

University is responsible for sending a 

copy of this notice to the Indian Tribe 

identified in this notice.
